I just bought a seven, never owned anything shorter than a 4wood before.  Saw Gary Player hit a 9wood in a match, and thought-hmm I guess I'll try a seven. It's in the mail.  I have no trouble hitting long irons, with a decent lie. Can't trust my driver to keep them in the short grass yet-hence the seven.

What I have discovered about shopping second-hand fairway woods is that stiff shafts aren't common, but that regular and senior shafts dominate the 5w and below field of candidates. I got a regular and hope I don't hate it for being noodley. I've not swung regular shafts since I was a 16.

I play a 5,  sometimes a 7 &  9 when the wind is down or the greens are hard. 9's are quite versatile. Problem is I like my 4 & 5 irons too much to bag the 7 & 9 in lieu of them every round.  9 woods are amazingly versatile. Never tried to hit an 11 or even more lofted wood, I hit the 6 I on down high and spinny when I need..

Hit my 9 wood to 3' from 186 yards yesterday. The resulting bird sealed the match for us. Never could have stuck an uphill 5 iron like that towering  9 wood stuck.

I hit a sweet layup shot Friday with my 7. I then duffed the pitch, but hey--golf.  I'm glad it's in the bag.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.

      I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.

      Slomo video of me working on the arms raising thing in the backswing. I think this is better, albeit I’m going fairly slowly and then stopping. Too darn cold to go outside and I don’t have room to safely make a full motion indoors, so this will have to do till I can make it to the range.

      Very concise and to the point.  I can attest; it makes the golf swing easier if you keep that right arm under control.
