Wont bore you but Have had a 7 year break from golf through illness. I was playing off 12 and heading for single figures. Struck down and then allowed to start playing again with restrictions a year ago. I have a different swing due to surgery and wearing a hernia tube. Being a senior and a long lay off it was a strange game again, but plenty of fun and surprised myself and now playing off 20.8 under the new handicap system?
I am struggling with my 5 iron and 3 wood, so spoke to a very good golfer who told me my swing speed was probably not fast enough for those clubs. He told me to dump them and get a 7 and 9 wood and leave my 5 wood in the bag. I went onto golfbidder to see if I could pick up a bargain and see if it worked without spending a bomb on a new club. I bought a Wilson Dynapower 7 wood. Wow the height and flight is amazing, but I now have a bigger problem. I am hitting the 7 wood further than the 3 or 5 wood, so it sort of messes the gapping a bit. My clubs were custom built probably 12 years ago and the woods are Tom Wishon with shafts to suit my swing at the time, but now seem to be obsolete after trying out the Wilson 7 wood with senior shaft.
Have things moved on so quickly or have I just been lucky with this second had bat. It looks like I am going to take out 5 iron, 3&5 woods. Will my 5 hybrid plug the gap to the 7 wood or should I go for the 9 wood
