Has anyone tried both and could provide some input?
It seems that the HyWood is more of a high-launching / high-spinning option, that - despite 18° - may be comparable to a 7 wood in distance, while the 17° UW seems to be a low-launching, low-spin option, that could go more towards a 3 or 4 wood.
Can anyone confirm that observation? Would be funny to play an 18° Hywood, a 5-Wood and a 17° UW, three clubs all having very similar loft, but gapping and playing different spin and launch...
