Nice! ~1 year ago I purchased a Stealth 5 wood and it's been absolutely transformational in my game. One thing people don't mention is how much easier it is to hit, therefore giving me confidence to take a full swing and unleash it and hit it to full capacity, whereas with my driver I am so reluctant and not very good that I tend to 3/4 swing it and it goes about the same, maybe 10 - 15 yards farther and of course OB a lot more often.

I’ve played a cut down 5 wood (length of a 4 iron) for the last 25 or so years. But I also play a 13degree 3 wood by MGolf (no longer existing) called the Tour13. MGolf was a Swedish Golf company that made some amazing blades that never officially came out to the public. I was fortunate that I was involved with the organization so I needed up with two left handed sets. Same as their 14degree wood that I cut down. During all those days I played almost exclusively in Europe and if I was in the states I played in Texas.

I have had so many different setups at the top have of the bag. Putter 58 54 Chipr PW 9 8 7 6 seemed to be a lock until I get to a goal or need more help hahaha. After 6 I have played so many different clubs. The one club that I thought I would never remove from the bag was my speedzone 7 wood but with a ton of work testing and luck that I found your KZbin channel I have a new top bag that has helped me so much the last few months. I have been playing a TM Stealth DHY a 9 wood 5 wood Driver with a hybrid for most of the rough I hit out of. That's the 14 in now for winter goal in California. The 5 wood TM Stealth gain in yardage has been so important. I feel I will never be a good long iron player which has lend me down this road of Avg golfing !!! Love all the help and free dialog and coaching in setup I have got from you has been priceless for me. I now have 215 and 185 answers I never had before !!!

Well played Andy. I play a 5 wood as I found it to be more consistent than a 3 wood, with a very similar distance. I’ve also chopped and changed between a 7 wood and a 4 hybrid, and have settled on the 4 hybrid. I’ve found that the 4 hybrid is a good bump & run club so I’ve removed my chipper and put the wedge back in that replaced it.

Yes Andy, my 3 wood is useless. 5 wood used to be my favorite fairway tool until I found a 7 wood. High, straight 190 yds consistently. I've loved the 7 wood so much, the 5 wood has stayed home. Must be the length of 7wood that makes it so comfortable. Im Considering shortening the 5 wood or even adding a Cobra one length 3 rescue that's already shorter than standard.

Beautiful course and better than “average” golfing in my opinion. That 5 wood shot was as good and pure as a pro could do on tour. A 5 wood is a must in my bag I use either a 18* Mavrik Max which has been incredible, or the one I had before that an Epic Flash 5 wood lofted up to 19* which I like the adjustable loft on for various courses depending on what I’ll need. Enjoy your holiday you are blessed!

Andy, I play A LOT of tour and tournament golf on courses from 6,100 to 6,500 yards in length and I find myself facing lots of approaches from 165-170 to 215 yards (or more, when my driver is misbehaving-of course, it’s never me). For this reason, I carry a 16.5* 4-wood, plus both an 18* and a 21* hybrid (no 3 or 5 woods in my bag). This helps me cover every distance between 165 (choked-up 4-hybrid) to 225-230 yards (full-bore 4-wood). The reason for a 3-hybrid rather than a 5 or 7-wood in soggy winter golfing conditions with thick and juicy rough is that I find the hybrid to be much better from light to medium rough than a fairway metal.

I heard you say you were hitting a 4 iron early in the video. I've watched a few of your what's in the bag videos and I think usually your longest iron is a 5, then you go with the hybrids. Probably doing that due to weather and course conditions. I'm bringing this up because I have been going back and forth with the long clubs. My longest iron is a 5, then I go with a 4 hybrid, 5 wood, 3 wood, driver. I'm still not completely settled on that end of the bag. I'm about your age and skill level, so I'm always interested in the clubs that you're carrying. I always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work, mate.

Can anyone tell me why I can’t hit a 3 wood or 5 wood when there supposed to be easier than a driver yeah on me drive I can hit a straight draw or fade when ever I want? Everyone who watches me doesn’t understand why am so good with my driver but I can’t hit a wood what’s 19 degree😢 all my woods start straight and the slice off to the right. So in my bag I have a 11 degree driver and then a 19 degree hybrid (also can’t hit) so my gapping is terrible
@danielcohen3159 Жыл бұрын
Hey Mugz! Fairway woods are, for a lot of golfers, the trickiest clubs to hit consistently well, especially off the turf. For as long as they are, they have a relatively small hitting area and very little loft. So any swing/path problems are massively exposed and exaggerated in the resultant shots. The driver has an enormous head and a huge hitting area and you're teeing the ball up - odds are that with any eye/hand coordination at all a person will be able to hit the ball somewhere toward the target. As far as 3 wood and 5 wood go, I'd recommend gripping down the shaft on your fairway woods and seeing if you don't hit the ball a bit better with them. Or trying a 7-wood. Most golfers don't have enough swing speed to generate the height needed to utilize a low-lofted fairway wood to its real potential - including myself. I'm a 3-hcp, and I go from driver to 5-wood, then 7-wood. But even if you have plenty of speed, more loft in woods is usually your friend if you struggle with strike.
