What kind of distance gap between a 7W and 24* Hybrid should I expect

    At my home course, there are two longer par 3s that I just don't have the proper club for. I carry a 915F 18* and a 913H 24*, and for these two holes, the yardage is in between. I can't believe the shot consistency I get out of the 915F, so I'm very tempted to go for the 21* and pull the hybrid from the bag, but I'd like to have a sense about how much longer it might play (15 yards?)

    Only sure way to know for sure would be to go to a Titleist fitter that has a Trackman/Flightscope with your 7W, 4H, and test a 3 hybrid or a 5W.

    Like DV said a fitting with a launch monitor is the best way to figure it out. However, my 7 wood (20 degree) is about 225 and my 915HD 23.5 (set at 24.25) is 205. So for me personally it is about a 20 yard gap. My swing speed with a 7i is 83 mph, 105 with a driver, steep swing, have trouble getting the ball in the air so YMMV but that's me personally.

    I found typically a wood is 1 club longer than a hybrid of the same loft and a hybrid is 1 club longer than an iron of the same loft so when I am looking at new sticks that's sort of my baseline and I dial it in from there.
