JOE the PRO...heard your voice and I thought you were on DHG....good seeing you, your information/ how you framed it/ demonstrated the equipment with impressive proficiency.
Funny but these things aren't just for high handicappers. I have a 7 wood (not quite 9 wood yet, but only because I like my 24 degree hybrid). A Chipper (Cleveland Smart Sole Chipper). A Broomstick putter (I have used a sternum putter for almost 30 years now and, no, I never anchored it so I didn't have to change). And, lastly, the Eleven hybrid irons (I had a thumb injury last year and had to wear a brace on my left hand so I needed a ton of bounce due to a shallow attack angle needed because of the brace so I bought these...now the injury is healed but I loved them so much, I kept them in the bag). The only one of these things I don't have is a specialty sand wedge. My handicap index is a 4 so, again, these things are not just for high handicappers!! There is nothing better than the look on a golfer's face when he/she gets beat by someone with "hacker clubs" in their bag. Use whatever makes the game easier.
All good arguments and I totally agree, unfortunately I think the big companies have done too good a job in the marketing department 😂 I'm a 7.9 HCP and I've seriously considered the eleven hybrids. I already got a 3-5 which I absolutely love.
I personally have RAM wedges, bought them as a set on amazon, havent had issues with them. Reasonably cheap, would be class if hopefully you can test and give us your professional feedback?
5 hybrid has shorter shaft, smaller head and lower launch. If you have a shallow swing, the 9 wood would be better. If you’re good with your irons and want a more forgiveness and higher launch than a long iron, the hybrid would be a better option.
It’s all depend of windy courses ? Narrow alleys ? very high and tight rough ? If the answer is yes take an hybrid. In my case I’m using 4h much rolling …lower launch , strong winds, dryer conditions or an 11w for soft landing depending of course layouts, winds conditions etc… ErEf, Montréal, Canada
I love golf review videos, but particularly for the 9-wood and hybrid set portions, I’m not sure how the review benefits the golfers the video is said to be aimed at. High handicappers like me have imperfect, inconsistent swings, so when the reviewer delivers a text book strike and hits a 7-iron 180 yards, that tells me nothing about how it will perform in my hands. My view would be that if a review promises clubs that deliver for a high handicapper, an actual high handicapper should be involved, either as a colleague of the reviewer or, heck, even invite one from the course the review is being recorded at. I know I’d jump at the chance.
I’d love to try a broomstick especially as a taller player. The only issue is that nowhere near me offers them so I can’t even try one out before I buy :(

I just added a seven wood /4 hybrid along with a armlock putter. Love the four hybrid as my chipper because it is the same length as my putter.

Excellent presentation with very good points.
Is the Ram EZ Out similar to the Cleveland CBX SW, or more similar to the Cleveland Smartsole SW? Thanks
Great advice!!!
I use a 7w, 9w and 11w. Regular flex shafts. They replaced my 3i, 4i and 5i. Silly easy to launch.

12:20 The squirrel agrees too :)
Great advice as usual Joe. 👍

Ez out wedges are available brand new on eBay under $50
What are the differences between a #5 hybrid iron and a 9 wood? Which one is better for high handicappers?
9wood easier to hit
5 hybrid has shorter shaft, smaller head and lower launch. If you have a shallow swing, the 9 wood would be better. If you’re good with your irons and want a more forgiveness and higher launch than a long iron, the hybrid would be a better option.

U got it
what a fake, couldn't shut him up.
Try finding a 9 Wood for left-handed golfers here in the U.S.!
Try used. Or mint finds on EBay. I’m a lefty in Canada and found lots locally in a much smaller market.
@@skyemac8 I already had, but here in the U.S., the left-hand secondary market is so hit-or-miss.

You only get 14 clubs so when you add you have to subtract
Broomstick = I can't putt (see: Adam Scott). No putter handle should go beyond a golfer's wrists. Ridiculous these are allowed.
Nonsense! 😂😂😂😂
