Are you playing the wrong club from 200 yards?

We tested a 4 iron, hybrid, and 7 wood—all with the same 21° loft—to find out which one truly performs best, not just from the fairway but also from the rough. This is one of the only real-world tests showing how these clubs handle fairway vs rough lies with GC Quad launch monitor data, Pro V1 balls, and natural turf at TPC Toronto.

▶️ In this video, you’ll discover:
• How loft isn’t the whole story — why club design, length, and center of gravity matter
• Detailed launch monitor stats: carry distance, spin rate, peak height, and angle of descent
• Which club performs best from tight fairway lies AND thick rough — something most tests skip
• Why golfers struggle with distance gapping and how to fix it
• Whether a long iron, hybrid, or 7 wood fits your game better
• Real answers for golfers asking:
 - “Which club should I use for 200-yard shots?”
 - “Is a 7 wood better than a hybrid?”
 - “Can a 7 wood replace my long iron?”
 - “Are hybrids easier to hit than irons?”

🏌️‍♂️ Whether you’re a beginner, high handicapper, or scratch golfer, this video gives you the info you need to stop guessing and start hitting better long approach shots.

We filmed at TPC Toronto, our official summer home, using tour-level equipment and conditions for the most accurate test results possible.
