I know a couple of 80 year olds that use high lofted woods.

It's strange to see someone hitting a wood from 120,,but it seems to work for them.

The biggest problem I see is that they tend to get very little spin on the ball, so the ball tends to roll too far once it lands.

I thought about a 9 wood - once.

But I think a high lofted hybrid with a custom setup so the shaft length is closer to the similar iron, would work better - if I were to go to such a setup.

I do play up to an 11 metal wood. All my woods are the original Adams Tight Lies. I have them for 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11 woods. The longest iron I play is a 6I. The height of the faces on these tight lies clubs is fairly small; they 'feel' like hybrids. All my clubs have graphite shafts. Have not looked into 13+ woods, as my 6I is good for me. At my age of 75, they work for me.
