Its a 5 wood but it doesnt really matter its an awesome club to hit. I found it very forgiving which is good for fairway woods because you basically just want to hit them dead straight and even though i got a few out of the toe i felt it still almost went the same distance, probably only lost about 10 - 15 metres. Pretty high trajectory aswell which i thought was good.

No i havent hit the burner. I was looking at getting one but that was a little out of my price range. I heard it a club with a very low trajectory but that could be just me.

I have just bought the Burner Driver, 3 Wood & Rescue and can't reccomend them highly enough. I have never been so straight and long, they're taking 7-10 shots off my round. I was using the Mizuno MX 560, 3 Wood and Burner and they can't compare. I just need a good iron set and illbe down to 12-15 in no time.

I've got the r7 Draw 3 & 5 woods and I love them. The only complaint I've got is when hitting them off the tee. They have a very short face (measuring from the bottom of the face to the crown). This makes these woods easy to hit off the deck, but when teeing it up you have to be careful not to tee the ball up too high. With the low face it's easy to go right under the ball and launch it straight up into the air (and leave a nice mark on the crown of the club).

That R7 driver is a great stick. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I just picked up a Ping G5 a couple months ago. It was between the G5 and R7 for me. I just found a better/quicker deal on the G5, that's what I'm hitting.

That's the only wood from the r7 line that I don't have. I have the driver, 3 wood and hybrid already. I hit my hybrid about 230 so I don't think I will buy the 5 wood!

My Burner 3 Wood arrived today. All I can say is wow. I was hitting it side by side with my mates Callaway fusion 3 wood. He didn't want to give the Burner back. Very high ballflight with an easy draw. Forgiving as well. If the Burner Driver hits like that, Maybe the R7 460 will become my back up driver...

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
