I just bought a Raylor 22* from TGW for $89! Every review I ever read said it was a great club, now they have crashed on price. What should I suspect/expect?

I heard they're meant to be great from the rough but only ok from the fairway because of the sole.

Try it out and post your results

Pull the trigger!!! I have both the 19* and the 22*. I used to own 4 callaway hybrids and sold them all and bought both Raylor's because of the reviews I read. Today was my first day out with them. Let me just say Im in love. I haven't had a chance to play from the high grass with them yet (what they are supposed to be excellent at) but I did have 2 tee shots and 3 fairway shots with them and they are amazing. They sound awesome and VERY easy to hit.

Trying to figure out which one to buy. I have a Wilson 5 wood that is 20.5* then the next club down I use is my 4i which I don't hit particularly well.

You'd get the 22° since the 19° would most likely overlap with your Wilson 5 wood.

Golf pro said you have to practice with it to get feel for different shots. He says some slight sidehills can produce bad hook if you don't adjust, given the clubhead balances on ridge of v-shaped sole.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I played a round yesterday and got to hit the club several times. Tremendous ball flight each time; very pleased so far. I bought mine when there was a $10 coupon to go with the $99 price.

I have this Nike dymo2 4 wood that has a similar V shape, and that it what makes me hate that club so much. Does this design work better with a hybrid? Or would I find myself digging and chunking shots with this thing?

I honestly don't see how the sole shape could cause you to dig and chunk shots. You'd have to be hitting behind the ball for that to happen, which is a problem in and of itself. If you're doing that, the flatter sole shape of other fairways and hybrids is actually acting as a crutch. The sole on the Raylor should be fine to hit in any lie, fairway, rough, etc. The fact is, the club corrects for toe up and toe down shots automatically. The tight lies fairway woods I use have somewhat of a similar shape to them.

    • Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
