    Actually, in the past week or so I was watching a PGA Tournament and a PGA player had a 7-wood in his bag...
    I've been using a 7-wood for years and a few years ago when defending my club championship I got my first and - so far - my only hole-in-one on a 182 yard par-3 using my 7-wood!! I wasn't able to successfully defend it, but that was OK. I got something better... Also, on par-5's, my 5-wood or 7-wood are the best clubs for me to hit my 2nd shot and position myself to hit the green in regulation. Gotta love it!! Thank you Ali for all your tips.

    This is a great video, went and got custom fitted for ping 425 max driver and 3 wood, I'm 50 now and recovering from cancer so my swing speed now is around 85mph, tried the 3 wood and couldn't hit it, so tried the 5 wood and crushed it every time 200 yards, so great video Ali

    Great video Ali. I ditched my 3w and replaced with a 5w about 18 month ago. Now hit it consistently around the 210-215yd mark, but it offers a more versatility.... and it's easier to get up in the air!

    I always use the 5 wood off the deck now instead of the 3 wood as the 5 wood carries further. I am 72 and can get about 190 yds yds from 5 wood. Love your videos Ali. Will use your tips to get more consistency.

    Good tips for my 3wd. I have had troubles off the deck. I manage to smash it when it’s teed. My confidence has waned with inconsistency with the fairway woods but I’ll give the tips a go at the range and course next week. Off-topic point for your videos: the ‘Ali’ and ‘golf’ in yellow in your wall logo gets washed out on the video. Darker colours would pop. Cheers.

    I carry a 3 hybrid (18 degree), a 4 hybrid (21degree), and a 5 hybrid (24 degree). My lowest iron begins at 6. I have a 3hl FW (17 degree), a 5 FW (19 degree), and a 7 FW (21 degree). I can switch out between the FWs. Which FW would you recommend I use in conjunction with my hybrids? I am a senior with a slower swing speed.

  • @gregbarthjr9621
    @gregbarthjr9621 3 года назад

    Thank you for another very Informative video. Truly appreciated. I find that my skills at using my Driver are well below average. So recently I've been hitting my 3 wood off the tee for about 225. But you're correct. I'm not very consistent with my 3 wood off the fairway or out of light rough. So I've filled my bag with long irons. I have success with my 2, 3, and 4 irons. But i'm considering upgrading to a 19 degree hybrid to replace the 2 iron. Hopefully it'll be a little easier hitting out of the rough with a hybrid. Unfortunately I haven't had much success with hybrids before, so i'm not sure if the woods and hybrids have the same hitting technique?
    Keep up the great work, cheers!

  • @3480eric
    @3480eric 3 года назад

    Great advice! Have a 5 and 7 wood that I use off the deck-especially on tight lies- because of the reasons you cited. Keep the 3 in the bag but only use it off a tee if my driver is acting up or on a narrow fairway.

    Great video. As a new golfer I was really struggling with the 3 wood to the point I wouldn't use it at all. Recently I bought a Callaway Big Bertha 5 wood and the difference was immediate - the ball was now going into the air and making much more distance. After watching your video I am now considering buying a 7 wood.

  • @joshuawebb6586
    @joshuawebb6586 3 года назад

    Interesting. Would have liked to see more swings at your normal speed considering that’s where I fall. Been flirting with the idea of 7 wood to replace my 3h just can’t find a lefty 425 at the moment. Currently carry my 3 wood 255 and close to 265-270 total. 3h is a 220-225 club for me which leaves me a rather large gap. Myself I may need to look a dropping the 3w for a 5w and add a 7w in place of the 3h just to eliminate that dreaded snap hook that shows itself from time to time. Good video. Definitely got me thinking about my gapping at the top end. May turn the loft up on the 3w before kicking it out the bag and see what results come from that and if it closes the gap a bit. Appreciate your videos always get me thinking about what I can do to get my equipment to work better and more consistent for my needs

    • @wallstreetoneil
      @wallstreetoneil 3 года назад

      Sounds like we have similar games and distances - you are maybe 7-10 yards longer. I recently re-did the long end of the bag after much thought and this is what I came to. 1) 3-wood gone, replaced with Mizuno CLK #2 16-degree hybrid, with the Tensei White 90gram TX-Stiff Shaft, playing 1-inch shorter, and open 2-clicks to 14-degrees. This is an anti-left setup being fully opened and also shorter, thus flatter, at 40-inches - this would be 1-iron length. It is fantastic off a tiny tee on tight Par 4s where you can peel a 7-yard fade off your start-line, it carries about 235, but will roll about 20-30 yards. That Tensei White TX flex shaft, is a non-upcharge option only on their hybrids, actual weight is 94-grams, so the club has a substantial feel and the shaft keeps everything very in control - I call the club my driving-hybrid. It is also easy to hit off the deck - but peak heigh will be mid-range at 70-85 feet - it is so much easier to hit consistently than a driving iron. 2) The Mizuno CLK #3 19-degree hybrid, same Tensei White TX shaft, but stock length, so actually 1/2" longer than the #2 hybrid. I set the club 1-click open at 18-degrees, which is 5wood loft, but being 1-click open, it definitely has left-protection built-in. I can draw the club when needed, but I prefer a stock 5-7 yard high fade, I'll use it from 215-230 carry - and again with that shaft and 1-click open, you really feel you can go at it if you need another few yards. 3) I then use a #4 Taylormade GapR High 22-Degree, set open and also Upright to 21-degrees with a 100gram X-Flex Steelfiber shaft at 39.5"-length (2-iron length). This is my 205-215 high flighted club, that I wanted it slightly upright so I knew I had a draw club in the bag (this would be my 7-wood type club at 21-degrees). Playing at 39.5"s versus a 7wood which would be 42'ish, it won't be as high flighted, but it is plenty high enough to stop on any green, and I feel more controllable at that playable length. I really like my top end of the bag now. I feel I can really go at both Mizuno hybrids and they won't go left, which my Callaway Subzero 5wood, even with an x-flex shaft could easily do, and I have that 7wood type club, but one that is more controllable with shorter & heavier shaft. I'm a 4-handicap and I feel confident I can improve from here.

  • @freedomfoldingandelectricb8114

    I switched from 3 wood to a 5 wood about a month ago. I was looking for reliable 250 club The 3 wood was just a little too much if I really connected with it and was giving me trouble if i backed off too much on the swing. I do have issues when it’s really windy having the ball that high up in the air

  • @Ava481
    @Ava481 3 года назад

  • @lindsaynewell6319
    @lindsaynewell6319 3 года назад

    One of your best - really helps that you can vary clubhead speed but keep a good strike to show what results different players will get. I abandoned 3 wood for par 5s this year - only use it off a tee on shorter or dogleg par 4s now and use 3h or 5h on par 5s to lay up in the best position, not the most distance. Will replace top end of bag later this year and definitely will be getting fitted so I get the right mix of 5/7 wood and 3/4/5 hybrid to optimize gapping from driver to 5i. Hoping 5 wood off the tee will still work for par 4s.
