Went to the golf dome and hit my 7 wood for the first time this weekend, and it is stupid easy to hit! Very nice, square set up and cool clink sound at impact. This Wednesday, I will get an idea how far I hit it when I use the simulator. I'm still hoping for that 210-220 range, so we shall see.

I'm not confident I understood your post - other than small hybrid heads are better.

first of all... i am not an old man... lolz

i have driver/4w/7w/3h/4h on down and i love the combo... i also have a 3w i swap out every now and then depending on the course...

my 7w and my 3h are both 21° but i can hit my 7w about 15-20yrds farther...
the reason i looked into 4w/7w combos was i had serious distance gap issues and felt this was a workable solution for me...

i love my 4w and 7w
RUSS's avg drive - 230yrds and climbing

I love my 7wood....I use it for my go to/safety club, I can hit high or low left or right. It is just comfortable to me.

For me, 7W is more like 3H (19*). I love my 3H for it's utility from any lie.

That's what I did. I loved my 2 iron off the tee on tight holes or very long par 3s, but in all honesty, it was about 60% solid off the deck. This 7 wood with the steel shaft seems fail proof.

*EDIT Better make that a 61* Eye 2 bent to a 64. LOL

Looking at the Cobra Baffler Rail 2H to fill gap between 3 wood and 3 hybrid. Liked hitting at simulator yesterday. Other option is Ping 4 wood.

The 7 wd will typically go higher and farther than the 2h, depending on fit.

I like a 21 7 wood over a 19-20 hybrid - more forgiving, easier to get up.

+1   I went to a 7W (and 5W) this year and benched my low-lofted hybrids with absolutely no regrets.  I have an average swing speed.

I have a steelhead 7w with the stock Callaway graphit  shaft (firm) I love it. I can hit high or low plus work it both ways. I never could find a hybrid that feels as good.

I am not a long hitter (Driver 200-225), but I had a 5W(175 yds) and a 4H(170 yds) in my bag and both had similar distance with different trajectories.  The 5W was a much higher launch... I didn't think that I needed two clubs with similar distances so I pulled the 5W and replaced it with a 2H(200 yds).

I needed a club to get out from under the trees and I can punch a 2H 150 - 200 yds. with a low trajectory.....

IMHO, the 2H does not replace the 5W for yardage, but it does provide another tool to enhance your game.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      Its simple, YOU are responsible for reporting YOUR score correctly, at every level of golf.  Do you imagine a top pro would really trust anyone else with his score? Without getting too far from the original post, the Rules have been revised every 4 years for decades.  They're continually evaluated, and most changes are in response to changes within the game.  BTW, if wind blows your ball off the green before you've lifted and replaced it, you play from wherever it ends up.  The TV call ins weren't a rule of golf issue, they were a PGA Tour issue, all in an effort to get the call right.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Someone asked what I propose. I think if the bunker is full of rainwater, you get to drop it with no penalty directly in back of the bunker, so you still have a tricky shot of chipping over the bunker. People are talking about local committees and such which we just don’t have at our level. My league and playing partners gave the free drop with no issue. My original purpose of this post was just to understand what the “real” rule is, and I now know. But now I also want to encourage people to see that many long time golf rules are outdated and illogical, and hopefully encourage people to push for change. They made some changes in the last few years, so I’m hopeful the game I love will improve if enough people speak out. A lot to hope for posting in a little forum I know, but you have to start somewhere.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By billchao ·

      There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.

      By klineka ·

      But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
