I have been using a TM R-7 5-wood with a TT Dyna Gold shaft for several yrs now and love it. However, my son has been lusting after it, and he does need a club to fill the hole between his hybrid and his 3-wood, so he's getting it and I'm looking for a replacement.

Anyone have any suggestions or input on a club with similar feel and looks?

If you like the feel and looks of it so much, why not just pick up another r7 5 wood?  I am partial to TM woods myself, as I have a SF 5 wood and a Tour Burner TP driver.  I went shopping for a 3 wood to match, as I love the 5.  I tried both SF and SF 2.0 3 woods.  They were OK.  I also tried a Ping G15 and all I can say about that club is WOW!  The TM's felt pretty good (as usual), but I was smoking the G15 on the launch monitor, a good 15 to 20 yards better than the TMs and with a tighter dispersion.  These were all hit off the deck, no less.  It probably had more to do with the shaft, but man-oh-man....

I actually ended up getting a closeout Clevland Launcher, looks like the 2010 model, which is my current driver, and which performs very well for me. Couldn't resist the price - brand new, $60!

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
