I went to my local simulator yesterday for a 'recreational' round of golf. While there and warming up, my pro asked if I had hit the new TM SIM2 driver yet. Nope. Well, after 20 balls with the SIM2 and my older XXIO X, I ordered the new SIM2. Then, just for fun, I asked about fairways and hybrids to compare to my Ping G 4 hybrid, 3 and 5 woods. I loved them all the new SIM2s. 

My pro suggested I try the SIM2 7 wood to replace the hybrid - same loft.

Wow - more consistency, more height, more distance, less roll out.

So, now I'm considering replacing the 4 hybrid in my bag with a 7 wood.

I'm a little concerned the 7 wood won't be as versatile as the hybrid but I thought I would ask the braintrust of this forum.

Comments? TIA

I use a 7 wood instead of a 3 or 4 iron hit it about 185. My next club is a 5 hybrid. I do not hit it out of rough only from fairway. It is about as hard to hit as a 5 wood.

Thanks for the feedback.  That is what I am thinking.  I'm going to give that a try.

    • For the elite then the mental side counts for a lot but for amateurs I think its the swing that is the most important thing,if I'm driving the ball reasonably straight then I dont think of OB or a forest on either side of the fairway so dont really think about the hazards,why?,because it's just a game after all,even in an amateur competition it's not life or death,people just enjoy the game,enjoy being next to nature with friends,love shooting a good score,enjoy the exercise...
    • Very possibly - I also think there is a certain amount of selective memory. People remember when they had a good thought process and hit a good shot and when they had a bad thought process and hit a bad shot, which reinforces the idea that it's the thought process that led to the outcome. I think people can be prone to forget the good thought process that ended up being a bad shot and the bad thought process that led to a good shot. I'm also fairly certain that a lot of times people have a good thought process, hit a bad shot and then assume that they must have had a bad thought process.  What's a little more difficult (if not impossible) is to figure out the likelihood of hitting a good shot given different thought processes. It's plausible that a good mental process might mean you're 5% more likely to hit a better shot than a worse one. To actually determine if that's the case would take an awful lot of shots from a lot of people with definable good/bad thought processes. Not sure that's a reasonable or doable test. 
    • It could  be also getting lazy with your routine. I agree, you can’t focus your self to a swing you don’t practice and make your own. 
    • Agree… Adding this to my notes….  
    • This is my take on it, as well. You don’t top the ball because you didn’t think hard enough, but screwing up the following shot because you’re angry about the last one and didn’t give it enough effort can certainly be partially attributed to lack of mental fortitude. Honestly I think most people like to say that golf is mostly mental because they want to tell themselves they’re better than they actually are.
