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.

    • Love resurrecting this thread! The float-load feel bit and then the old video I think from Mike on how to hit low and high chips were the kickstart to my short game journey, where I play well below my handicap (officially 9.x right now, via arccos I only lose 1 stroke per round to a scratch golfer in my short game). I've spent lots of time with float-load and I can be a sniper inside ~40 yards with my GW and 60*. But I actually just started trying a version of this for like ~40-70 yard shots! 70-115 I have a like hands to belly button height stock partial swing shot that I hit with SW-9i dialed.
    • Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%.  Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time.  Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more. 
    • My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
    • Day 3: Worked on putting at different distances focusing on matching the backswing and follow-through lengths.
