    As a high handicap the 7 wood was the best club choice I ever made. I use it the most. It's easy to hit and can be used in almost any situation. You have to give it try if you have not already.

    I went from a 2H and 3 iron to a 7 wood and extra wedge last year and was the best thing I've done for my bag in a long time. I'm a 0.5 and didn't have too much issue with the 3iron. But just can't compare to the booters that the 7 wood can produce out of damn near anywhere. Goes high, but not too high. Hell of a tool.

    As someone who carried only a driver and 3 wood for 30 years, I learned that adding a 5 and 7 wood has made longer shots easier and golf more fun. The 3 and 4 iron are now in the retired club bag.

      I joined the 7wood club a few years ago, my 3,4 iron are like yours retired, I take them to the range occasionally just to keep my swing with them. But when I play its definitely 7 and 5 wood. Last Sunday I was inches from an eagle putt, thanks to my 7w giving me a great second shot. I happily settled for birdie on a 520 yard par 5.

      I have 3W and now 7W, but on fitting for the 7W hit a few 5W and I can see this replacing the 3W with a custom fitting. It went just as far but slightly easier to hit. Plus the Titleist model could have lie adjusted as well as loft.

      So I am a high handicap and always looking to make the game easier for me. My irons are 6-PW. My woods are 3-5-7. I do also carry a 5h since I don’t have a 5 iron. Does this setup sound about right for a 61 year old 20 handicap?

      @@barkermotorsports7101 that is a great setup if u have swingspeed for a 3 wood. if not I think your 5 wood will carry longer and possibly total longer too. I'm 50 and my 5 wood carry 190 meters minimum. Dont use a 3 wood. U have to use what works for you. I have a high swing speed and I'm wildly off with driver and 3 wood. Remember that a 3 wood is even harder to hit straight than a driver. Smaller head, low loft and really long shaft. Im not even trying one. I have used a 2 driving iron which is punishing on mishits, but a real fairway finder Thinking of adding a 3 hybrid and so could you, if you remove the 3 wood and use the 5 wood primary off the tee. Or add another wedge. I play pw, gw, sw, lw. I will never change that as that is what save your scores not having 5 different tee clubs.

I haven't ventured into 9 wood territory. I carry one less wedge to accommodate the 5-7 combo - I realized I don't need a million wedges in the bag.

    I'm a scratch golfer and I mostly dislike my hybrids. I play a 2h and a 4h because it suits my gapping with my longest iron being a 5. I find as a player who predominantly draws the ball the hybrids tend to accentuate that draw and I find myself fighting it or having to play a pretty sweepy ball flight which i despise. I've actually been considering going to a 4 iron and maybe another fairway wood so this is really helpful.

      Im a former single handicap golfer coming back into golf again and in my day we didn't have hybrids. Im also considering going 4 wood, 7 wood which seems to be a good combination these days. This year I have used 5 wood, 2 and 4 driving iron. The 2 iron I will replace. Love that thing, but it is too inconsistent. I bet a 7 wood would carry further, but maybe not roll out so much. In the end I live in Scandinavia, so it's always raining here anyway. Have u tried a 4 wood? is it much difference to a 3 wood?

    Been gaming a 3 Hybrid as the rough near me is thicker at times and the smaller sole allows me to chop down on it more. Also the lower apex is good not to be smashed by the wind in valleys/hilltops. Also it's been less powerful than by 5 wood keeping a nice 5i-3h-5w gap. Just need a 3w now to sort of complete the top end of the bay

  • @davep2945
    @davep2945 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    There were a lot of sales pitches in the early days of hybrids but the most common one was to use them as an iron replacement. But the truth was only Mizuno with their Fli-Hi and Tour Edge with their Iron woods actually made true iron replacements hybrids. Everyone else chased distance as their customers wanted that. So in almost every other brand you got a club that was easier to get in the air for most golfers compared to their long irons but a good club or three longer. That equals sales which is what matters to a manufacturer. Hybrids kept getting longer both in terms of distance and, unfortunately, shaft length until are about as difficult to hit consistently as a 5 or 7 wood so why not go with something (7 wood) that gets in the air even easier, stops more quickly and is more forgiving on low-in-the-face strikes? Pros and other high swing speed players started switching to higher lofted woods because the extra loft gave them the distance control they needed while still delivering a full swing and stopping on a dime compared to hybrids that kept going too far and not stopping quickly enough.

  • @MrUlfdub

    The smaller head "PRO" hybrid Trottie is using is designed for a downward blow (like an iron). I have them but, being more of a "picker" i find them useless. I CAN sweep the LARGER HEADED HYBRID and FAIRWAY WOODS equally well (I actually LENGTHEN them to accommodate a larger grip without losing swingweight). It really comes down to how YOU contact the ball.

I’m a novice golfer 1st year playing and a handicap 19.6. I’m trying to find a good 200-225 yard club that I can hit from pretty much anywhere and have less dispersion. Anyone have a recommendation? I run the hybrid though not a ton of confidence, but when I hit it pure it’s awesome, I can also get punchy with it with a 3/4 swing keep it low and kind of bail myself out of trouble with it. Kind of feeling maybe the more loft of a 7 wood would make this a better option for longer par 3’s etc. and perhaps less difficult of a club?

      That's the whole reason for the vid. You gotta look at your data and numbers and make that call. Either can work based on player preference and profile.
      Keep in mind at some point there will be a slight gap dependent on the amount of wedges you carry.

    Love my 7 wood so much. My Dad passed his on to me because he couldn't gel with it. Has become my favourite club, so versatile. It's a 22 degree, but I've lofted it down a little. I also play an 18 degree 3 Hybrid, and like having that in the tool kit for those thicker lies.

    I was pleasantly surprised watching Fred Couples’ WITB! His longest iron is a 7 like mine! Maybe there’s a chance for me! Nah!

    I'm much more comfortable with a hybrid profile. I lost the 4iron and now have a 3H and a 2H.

    Players distance cavity irons works just as good as hybrids for me. Irons give me better dispersion than my hybrids. Hybrids give me slightly better height which is easier to hit

      This is similar to what I have experienced.
      I get a better more consistent dispersion with a game improvement iron, like a Callaway X20 for instance. Distance is about 10 years less than the same lofted hybrid, but more consistent and a better dispersion with the irons.
      I am gaming a 7 wood and playing with the hybrids to fill he gap. My irons now start at a 6 iron.

      The absolute worst thing you can do is try and be a hero in a bad spot. The hybrid seems to be an attempt to make a hero tool.

      ​@trottiegolf I'd love to see that! I play Srixon irons, but the equivalent of a 770 P-6i, 790 5i, and QI10 in the 4 iron as a utility iron/driving iron. Very interested in your thoughts on that.

    What turned you off from the PDHY?

    • @trottiegolf
      @trottiegolf  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      PDHY was too big on the looks and didn't fly as high as the rescue I had. PUDI I liked but too close to my 3 iron so I opted for the P770 3i over that. Both PUDI and PDHY are good clubs but we're into personal preferences at the point where I opted out.

    I don't think I could get rid of my hybrid. It's my most dependable club and most versatile. I use it when I need a stinger in the trees to keep the ball down and below the trees. I can't do that with a 7 wood.

    So many Tour players still carry 3-iron or even 2-iron so I would not call those obsolete. There are players, that probably never will choose a hybrid.

    Just me but a hybrid is better from the rough. That being said just get a high launching 5 wood like my Taylormade Sim2. You can open it up or choke down on it if you want and it stops on a green like an iron. Now you have a 5 wood and a 3 hybrid (have a 4h also). Problem solved 😎

    Young stud: driver, 3 wood, 2 iron
    Aging stud: driver, 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 4 iron
    Add 5 years: driver, 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 4 hybrid, 5 iron
    Add 5 years: driver, 4 wood (lofted down 5 wood, 3+4 hybrid, 5 iron
    Add 5 years: driver, 4 wood, 7 wood, 4 hybrid, 5 iron
    Add 5 years: driver, 5 wood, 7 wood, 4+ 5 hybrid, 6 iron
    Etc...as speed drops one needs more loft and more woods and hybrids.

    Thumbs down to TaylorMade shaft offerings. Can’t get a 90g shaft in any “wood”… which anyone north of 110SS is likely going to require in a 7wd. TM appears to be bottlenecking stronger players to ultra premium shaft up charges, from 3rd party distributors.

  • @maximiliankhler7267
    @maximiliankhler7267 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Why would you not just use a 3 iron? You can get plenty of height on it if you have above 90 mph swingspeed with your driver and the consistency of a 3 iron is unmatched. Anything above a 5 woods or hybrids are not made for players who have above 90mph swingspeed

    • @zackevanson9473
      @zackevanson9473 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Pretty sure it’s like 25% of PGA players have a 7 wood now. Theegala plays a 9 wood. Not sure why you think the 90 mph is the deciding factor. Players know how to hit different shots.

      @zackevanson9473 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@callumwells agreed I think all options should be considered for every player I just disagree with the premise that above average swing speed should always = iron. So many more factors go into consideration.

    • @lawbinson
      @lawbinson 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's nowhere near enough speed. 100mph with a 3 iron and then it's a possibility. The greens on tour are so fast, you need land angle. Plus, the fairway wood is so much more forgiving.
