Thanks..

I am about to buy a new 3-wood and I have a 5 wood in my bag

The lengths I was thinking are

I am 5' 11"

3-wood-42 1/2

5-wood-41 1/2

I play my driver at 44 1/2 right now and have good distance and control. I think those lengths would be good, any thoughts?

With a ruler.   Just kidding, he he.  Standard lengths for 3 & 5 woods that have 75gram and heavier shafts is 42.75(3w) & 41.75(5w).  For shafts that are 74grams and lighter they are 43.0(3w) & 42.0(5w).  Now, that is supposed to be standard, but that doesn't mean oems are going to follow that guideline.  My Taylormade SF 5 wood comes an inch longer as stock, for instance.  Being 6'4", I like them a little longer anyway.  My driver is 45.5".

If I get a prolaunch blue 75 stiff and have it put on my 5 wood and cut it down to 41.75 inches, will there be a need for lead tape on the head?

I have a prolaunch blue 65 on my 5 wood now cut down to 41 1/2 and he had to put some lead tape on the head to keep the swing weight, I don't like the lead tape on the head, so would getting a prolaunch blue 75 fix this? I don't want lead tape on my club head, just don't like it....

thanks for the help

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
