👊🏼Thank you for your support, and let's improve at golf TOGETHER!
Thanks for tuning in! 3 wood or 5 wood?!
5 & 7 woods
Both, Cobra! But far more often 5 wood off the deck. Easy.
Does the fact I play 4 wood count as win-win??
Alex please test 3 wood shaft on 5 wood head. Maybe with someone with 90 mph driver speed. Indoor first to see numbers than on course to see playability.
Hi Alex just got back done exactly what we agreed took 3 wood out of the bag stayed with my 5 wood recovery had fun playing but couldn't reach the greens with my recovery so no complaint had a great game
I took the 3 wood out of the bag about three years ago and went to a 5 wood. Better overall consistency keeping it in play, it was a great move.
I decided on a 5 wood over a 3 wood and haven’t second guessed it. What makes me think I’ve got overkill is that I have both a 5 wood and 3 hybrid in the bag. Both are about the same launch and distance but I use the hybrid when I’m in the rough or fairway bunker while the 5 wood is off the tee on long par 3s and fairway shots
Have an average swing speed. Took 3 wood out of my bag and went with a 5 wood. Better launch with 5 wood and better gapping between my 4 hybrid and driver. This video justified my decision.
I’m playing 4 wood ( actually a 3 set to 16.5*) and a 21* 7 wood. It’s a combination that works for me as my club head speed fades with age.
Yup. Did the same for some years. I'm coming back to the game after 13 years off, and my speed as slipped a bit as I move into my 60's. So I'm going to be putting that 16.5 degree 4 wood up against an 18.5 degree 5 wood in tests soon, (got an elbow injury at the moment). We'll see what we get. I'm even considering a 9 wood instead of my 4 hybrid. See if I can get a bit higher launch and better carry. Whatever works.
9° Driver, 16.5° 4 wood and an 19° hybrid rounds out my top end-works perfect. So many options with this setup for me. Back and forth between a plus 2 and scratch. Love your vids!
I’ve dropped my 3w down to 12.5deg and I love it. End of the day it’s rare I think it’s a good choice from the fairway. If I’m 270-280y from the green I’d rather hit 7i and leave 100y in then try and crush a 3 wood. I have a 250y rule on par 5s. Nothing over 250y on the second shot, 230-250y only if there’s minimal danger around the green and room for my miss, under 230y I almost always go for.
Dropped the 3 for a 5 wood. Only half of my 3 wood shots from the fairway were good. The 5 wood is very consistent and just as long as the 3. Also carry a 7 wood to replace the 3 iron. Hit the 5 wood 225 and the 7 wood 210ish so the gapping is decent.
I've got something in-between Alex!
Sim2 titanium 5 wood de lofted to 17 degrees with a mitsubishi tensai white 80 gramme Shaft made half inch longer! Best of all worlds. Nice size head, looks great with open face behind the ball, easy to flight high or low, no problems off the deck, rarely use a tee off the tee area unless i want extra height. Problem solved with no comprises.
Great tip for beginners like me. Thanks so much, looking to pickup a 3wood but changed to 5wood based on this. Cheers from Canada! :)
Bought a 5 wood a few hours ago, also got a 60° and don't judge me, a chipper. I had a chance to use a chipper a few days ago and it was insane how much better my shots around the green were.
I’m using a 5w, 7w, two hybrids and a chipper. I won’t judge you!
@@joegallo3731 I've moved to a 5w, 7w, 4h and dropped the chipper.
An actual useful golf video that paints a picture I can use in my next round. Thanks a lot
I’m 74, carry 5,7,9 woods. Dropped my 3 wood and got Callaway 17* Rogue hybrid. I can it straights do low off the deck and rough etc. I am shooting in high80s low 90s right now. Try to hit straight and avoid trouble. This video validated my decision to drop 3 wood. Good stuff. Thanks
never cease to amaze, brilliant tip
I rock a 4 wood, best of both worlds, love it!
I have lofted my 3 wood at 14*, lofted my 5 wood to 19* , and left the driver at home...dropped the score by 7 shots average 😅
I have a Cobra Radspeed with the big tour head turned down to 13* and my 5 wood lofted at 20 in the regular tour head. Yeeted the driver out of the bag and have gone from 15 down to 11 😂 I gave up about 20-25 yards by ditching driver, but my dispersion and control is miles better.
This is the way
What do you Mean "You" Lofted?? Those 2 Clubs Usually Come at that Loft 🤔
Struggled with my SIM2 3 wood for six months and just recently pulled the trigger on a PXG 5 wood. MUCH more consistent for me. I wish I had switched a year ago!
I totally agree. I gave up with my 3 wood a few years ago tried it a few days ago hit it great but now im back struggling with it.
Taking Alexs advive back to the 5 wood.
Was playing same 3 wood with same loft questions. Bought Cobra 5 wood love it in fairways. Carried 1-5 woods but had to drop gap wedge. Missed the gap wedge dropped 3 wood gained strokes with 5 wood in fairway. Miss it off tee short par 4s. Now need for USGA to let me carry 15 clubs! HAHA
I shot my best round of the season yesterday. My driver and 3 wood was at home chilling. Longest club in my bag was a 7 wood. I will sell the 3 wood and work on the driver before using it again. I've ordered a used Srixon Z F65 5 wood (19°) from Golfbidder.
Excellent tip, got me thinking time to take a look at a 5W, if this can help me play the game better then I'm for it. Thanks. Maybe also to go along with this is another video on playing from the correct tee boxes. Most people have big egos about their golf game and little game.
Found this really useful and as I’m a high handicap have removed my 3 wood from my bag. Tempted to remove hybrid also
I am a senior golfer who has both 3 and 5 wood 5 replaces 3 hybrid great off the tee.
Agree on looking at a 5 wood to put in the bag i have the Cobra 5w myself although at 56 yrs old my club head speed is 92mph for 5 wood it just gives more confidence when looking down at it on the fairway than the three wood.
I love my 5 wood one of my favorite clubs in the bag
5 wood is such a good club!!! Don’t forget we upload every day at 3:30pm uk time
Timely advice, Alex. After a couple winter practice sessions on swing ‘devices’ (one radar, one optical) I saw my driver swing speed was mid-80’s. So, other than being depressed as hell, I benched my 3W. My bag top end is driver, 5W and 3H. Your advice is rings so true 😁
I use a 3 wood and 4 hybrid between my driver & 6 iron. Driver goes about 250, 3 wood 220, 4 hybrid 190, 6 iron 180. It took me a long time to get used to the 3 wood but i can’t imagine not having it anymore especially when i need that distance, or when i need more precision off the tee than my driver..
Here is a really good alternative that a rep from Ping suggested.....a 5 wood head with a 3 wood shaft. Works wonderfully
I'm in a constant mental struggle between whether to keep my 3 wood or 5 wood in my bag. I have great gapping between the rest of my clubs and don't want to get rid of any of those, plus I hit them all very consistently well. So it comes down to keeping one fairway wood, either the 3 or 5 wood. My 3 wood is at 15* loft but has a 5 wood length shaft on it, and my 5 wood is at 18* and has the stock shaft on it. The 3 wood with a 5 wood shaft helps my consistency with quality hits, and I haven't noticed much, if any, distance loss. My 5 wood doesn't go as far as my 3 wood but I do get a more accurate hit, only slightly though, because I hit my 3 wood pretty accurate as well. So which one should I go with? The 3 wood that goes about 15-20 yards further or the 5 wood that I'm slightly more consistent with? I also have a 3 hybrid at 20* loft that goes almost the same distance as my 5 wood, so is the 5 wood even worth it?
I use a Ping G400 5 wood @ 16.5 degrees. Works well off the tee and off the turf. My driver clubhead speed is 92-94 mph. Hitting 3 wood off the turf is a bit of a struggle. The 5 wood is much easier to hit, carries nearly as far, and is much more controllable. 3 wood out, another wedge in.
I put my 5 wood head on my 3 wood shaft...amazing...try it.
I currently have an adjustable 5 wood. Thinking of an adjustable 3 wood. So I can adjust the 3 wood upto a 4 wood loft. I am not creating much clubbed speed currently but am having more lessons!
I’ve got my 3-wood lofted to 17 degrees and it is awesome. Several years ago I was seduced by the 5-wood argument, but was ultimately dissatisfied. So, lofted up the 3-wood and have never looked back.
As a slower swing speed player, I have a 16.5 senior flex 3 wood and a 17 degree ladies flex 3 wood, I hit them both about the same distance as my 18 degree senior flex hybrid. Depending on the course I am playing I use one of the three. My driver is a 10.5 degree and my 4 hybrid is 22 degrees with one of these clubs in between.
Just been measured up for a 3 wood unknown to me the guy slipped in a 5 wood. Wow what a difference longer and straighter. New cobra Aerojet 5 wood in the bag 😂.
Thanks again Alex 👍👍
The games certainly more enjoyable thanks to your tips
Brilliant and haha love that
Thank you now I know why my 7 iron goes the same has my 5 iron .my club speed .my driver is awful.think I will give the 5 wood a go .thank again.
I don't know
I look at my home course and I just don't see the need for a 5 Wood at all
Back in the day I use to use one but with lessons taken I am getting much better distance off the tee I am hitting 4 Iron or lower into the green any way
On the Par5s on the course I play 1 which is a lay up due to water 1 which is a lay up as it is too early in the round to play the hero shot and try and get on for 2 and the other 3 are hit the 3Wood if you want but you are only getting greedy and getting as close to the hole as you can when sometime the iron is the better option as your 3rd shot is the money shot
As far as hitting the 3 Wood at the Green I really don't even know carry distance as I just don't really hit it at greens these days anyway
As for the holes I use 3 Wood off the tee it is to put me at a certain distance and getting more accuracy on a tighter driving hole
Having a 5 Wood would just leave me further back
I am sure for some people it might be a good idea but I would only be using it for odd shots that I have stuffed up somehow
Found this video really helpful. I dumped my driver and used a higher lofted 3 wood off the tee and it produces better distance with less slices effectively loosing way less golf balls after a round of golf! Really enjoying the game more now!
this is so good to hear!!! thank you for letting me know!
@@AlexElliottGolf cheers from Malaysia! 🇲🇾
Hi Alex yet again feel the must to follow that idea, so playing tomorrow taking my 3 wood out of the bag and leave it in my car , definitely get better results from my 5 wood so have to wait and see
I can worm burn the longest 3 wood from the fairway, keen to try my new 5 wood.
Thaks for this! I kinda need a little more guidance/details in this area on cleaning up the high end. No facility to get fitted where i am.
Currently sporting
Driver R5 9.5°
3w15° (TNT)
5w18° r580,
( also have a spare titleist 906f4 18.5° i can't decide what i prefer yet)
4i 23° big bertha's and on...
Just want a clean bag with the right tools to get the job done.
Good advice for us old golfers.
I am an older guy, for me it is about enjoying the game not who can hit it the farthest, I took the 3 wood out of the bag and replaced it with a 5 wood (18 degree) best thing I ever did. I also carry a 7 wood ( 21 degree). If the ball is down in the grass some I will use the 7 wood, amazing. I found it more difficult to hit my 5 & 6 irons & replaced them with hybrids. My Driver is a 12 degree +1 draw. It looks like a few others are doing the same. I play the white gold combo ( 6151 70.0/124 ) . I just love the game..
Good insight but I do like carrying both the 3 and 5 woods in the bag. Mine our Ping in senior flex. They both have come in handy at different times. I enjoyed your thoughts on this. I am a senior . I would say my driver swing speed is 85 at best but I still can hit the 3 wood a few yards further but they both go a very long ways. I am decent at hitting them both .
I'm still learning the game but for whatever reason my most reliable club is my Callaway FT-I 3 Wood from the fairway.
I have Mavrik max 5 wood. Works well both off tee and fairway
I carry both 3 and 5 wood. I also carry a 7 wood and no hybrids. I use the 3 on par 5s, the 5 on longer par 3s and the 7 on uphill 170 shots.
I've been told by several people that a 5 wood is better for a crappy golfer than a 3 wood because it's easier to hit, and they end up hitting the 5 wood further and more consistently than the 3 wood.
I carry both a 3 and 5, but may switch to a 5 and 7. I do alright with the 3 off the tee but it doesn't work well for me from the fairway
As a begginer its so true that more lofted clubs are our friends...when i am in form i am pretty good with longer irons (6,5) but at winter when i don't play for a month and driving range is closed i know very well 7i or eve 8i will be the club i trust so when i know i am off in my game i will do much better result playing more lofted shorter clubs...if i do i mistake with 8i,7i i will still get decent flight and distance..bit once i do a mistake with 5i...
And you know what separate Pro and Tour pro...Tour pro will do less mistakes and even when he does, the mistake is way less bad..
Yeah that is very true - good to hear the info. It is hard to practice over the winter
I am grappling with this now. My driver, on a good day, is rolling out to about 260-265. My 5W is getting out to about 235-240. My 3W is getting to about 250, but I can only hit it that far about every 10th time. I can get my 5W out about 60% of the time. So frustrating. I'm considering taking the 3W out and just dealing with the shortage.
My 4 wood replaces the 3 wood and the 5 wood, for all the reasons you mention. I use the matched 9.5 degree Driver. I may bring the 3 wood or an extra wedge; depends on the course and how confident I am with driver on that particular course.
Bit older video but info is dead on. I'm a lower handicap but 3 wood off deck is a gamble rather hit something that's more reliable less risk and not that much shorter than a 3 wood. I'm dropping the 3 wood into backup bag and next season getting a 5 wood. Subscribed
Thank you! Great tips for women golfers, too!
i have a m5 3 wood and i have never been able to not top it. no clue why. Maybe the club head is too small for me.
Wish I would have seen this before I ordered my rad speed 3 wood today. Oh well guess I’ll loft it up as much as I can.
This was so assuring
I recently bought a 14* 3 wood and having a hard time hitting it well. My shots are mostly straight but very very low. 🙁 I’ve tried different ball positions, attack angle, etc to fix this. My swing speed is about 90 mph. I probably would be more successful with a 5 wood ⛳️. Thanks for your helpful video. 👍
If the principal holds perhaps A High Loft 3 wood like the stealth 2 3HL at 16.5 degrees and a 7 wood at 21 degrees are a better solution. With the 7 wood you also have a long range club that can hold a green and not roll over and off.
I play up to a 3 iron, then a 3 wood. I hit my 3 iron the same distance as the 5 woods I’ve tried.
I seldom use my driver -it's always my Taylormade M2 3 wood off the tee !
5 wood or a lofted hybrid is a great second shot option - no doubt !
Great video as always Alex, I now have a five wood cobra and love it, I do have an old Ping eye 2 - 3,5, 7 wood of which I struggle with nowadays as my swing speed is slower (an age thing lol) my 7 wood still works for me tho
I carry a 3W, a 5W, and a 4hybrid. I very rarely use the 3W. I don't hit the ball all that far so trying to hit to a par 5 in 2 is pretty much out of the question. So, I usually lay up to about 100 yds with my 5W and then hit a pitching wedge.
Hi Tye, do you use a driver or just the woods and hybrid?
@@aaronwagstaff6129 i actually carry a driver, 3W, 5W AND 4 hybrid. But i am trying to eliminate either the 5W or 4H.
I switched my 3 wood for a 5 wood a couple of years ago for pure consistency and it works !!
TO ALL , In your non comp games do this . Should you find bunker water ob thick rough . Give yourselves the choice , in all events the option Either take a penalty drop out or play it as it lies , why !!! In the long run it gives you confidence and although not proper golf timing accuracy but more than that fun, and your game will improve . Mine has ok by 3 shots and as a 16.0 handicap I become lowest man in in team games and play rather well . I believe I am better than this handicap and on the 9 hole course par 30 I shoot 31 regularly and I get 6 shots, so it works .
Bought TM 5wood m4 and once you figure it out for different situations is great...220+ par 3 is great for 5w...
Keep in mind i don't have years of experiences, actually pretty much a begginer but just the loft takes away side spin...as a begginer i dont have every club for 10-15y more...so i rather sacrifice some 10-15 in comparison with 3 and hit the ball straighter, even draw when needed if i am succesful so its 5 is better, have to check even 7wood this season
hi good video thanks depends what hcp you are but for most golfers i would say the 5 wood sacrifice some yards for consistency and for alot of golfers even a 7 wood as i think if u love the 7 wood u will hit as far the 5
Next video ought to be 5 wood or 7 wood for the slower swing speed senior player ( 85-90 mph) . At present I am using a Cobra F9 5-6 wood set at 17 degrees for a lower running shot, and a TS2 7 wood set at 22.5 degrees for a higher softer shot. Gap distance about 10m.
I think I can say been there, done that now. I am swinging at 90 mph with Driver. I have been using a F9 5 wood set at 17.5 as a fairway finder and off the deck for second shots on par 5 holes. It worked fine, except on my course I needed a perfect strike to reach the corner of dog leg holes. I found that at 20 degrees my TS2 7 wood was as long as the F9. What I have done is the take out the 5 Wood and put a 16 degree 3 wood back in my bag for tee shots/ fairway finders. I can hit it off the deck too. Strangely I tried a F7 and F9 3 wood two years ago and sold them both. Have I improved maybe?
I have a 7 wood with a driver length shaft. Weapon!
Brilliant tip!! Thanks so much
Interesting, I've gone 5 & 7 wood this year for that better 2nd shot in ...
I am looking for either some way to get deablo 3w further than 189 yds 22g shaft offset which is pointless when I have a 5w and 7w both around 15 years old that I hit further 7w 200 series 190 and 5w 204 yds 200 series both taylormade.
What is the face angle and lie angle effect of lofting up the 3FW ? result in more draw shape?
Hey Alex , you just answered the question I never asked lol 🍻🤙🇨🇦
As a golf novice what are the differences between 3&5 wood vs hybrids and are they both attacked at by swinging down ? Thanks always for your great videos and clear instructions 👍👍 you RULE
yeah there are some differences, i’ve got a video on hybrids that will show the difference ua-cam.com/video/EQECmgm9pjI/v-deo.html
@@AlexElliottGolf thanks for all your tips and suggestions. I have the new rogue set, irons driver and all hybrids. No fairway drivers. I'm going to try the 5 wood.im in the 90s what 5 wood would you Suggest. I swing around 70 to 80 miles an hour if that helps thanks for your help
Cobra makes great woods
Have ping 5an 7 wood worked out great
Great video Alex👍. Driver speed 103mph, currently carrying 52/58 wedges, 5-pw, 2/4 rescues & a 3 wood - contemplating either adding 56&60 in place of the 58, or adding an extra club at the long end of the bag. Fairway wood fitting booked next week & will definitely try 3&5, as well as being open to replacing the rescues - any thoughts on how best to set my bag up?
Hi Andy...I have almost exactly the same bag set up and my swing speed with driver is very similar. I'm 103mph at best but usually around the 101-102 mark. Carry two hybrids at 18 and 22...love them! 5-GW in set irons and a 52 and 56 in specialist wedges. My issue is my 3 wood. I was fitted for it but just can't get the carry distance I require. Put the loft up to 16.5 but still struggling with optimising distance. Just found this video and wondering how you got on and what you decided on? I'll always hit easy driver over 3 wood off the tee as am a confident driver. Be interested to hear how you got on if you've a chance to reply. I only started playing again in lockdown so have been enjoying changing my bag set up and am currently playing off a 2 handicap. Cheers
@@colinsmith99 Hi Colin, current set up is Driver, 3 Wood (Titleist Tsi2 15), 3 & 4 Ping G425 hybrids, P770 5-9, Vokey SM7 46&52, Callaway Jaws 56&60 - gapping is fine between Driver / 3 Wood / 3 Hybrid, as it is at the short end. The gap that’s not ideal is between 5 iron & 4 hybrid - obvious solution is a 58 degree jaws rather than the 56/60 but I’m really enjoying the 56/60 so I’ll persevere with trying to hit little 4 hybrids. Started golf again 6 months ago at age 53 after 16 years away, happy with 5 handicap so far but if I can sort my long game out hopefully I can get back to where I used to be - technology helps! Congrats on 2 handicap for you, would love to be there!👍 Hope that helps & feel free to chat further
@@andy66l97 Many thanks for the reply Andy and great to hear you're enjoying being back in the game too. Well done on getting to 5 in a short space of time and I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be this coming season.
It sounds like you've been changing up your WITB and have a great set up. What driver are you gaming out of interest?
I'm currently Titleist TS3 9 degree, TS3 3 wood (15) at 16.5, TS3 hybrids (19) @18 degree, (21) @22 degree. Just changed my irons a couple of months ago to PXG 0211 5-GW and Cobra black wedges 52 & 56.
I did a lot of testing in the last year and was exactly the same as you with not liking the gap between 4 hybrid and 5 iron with my old irons. The new PXGs have been fantastic for bridging that gap due to the stronger lofts yet retain their height for me. So much so I'm going to get a 4 iron in them to replace my 4 hybrid when I'm playing links golf in windy conditions. Will just rotate those two clubs as I feel necessary. Am playing a little more in land so like the higher ball flight of the hybrids going into the greens.
Have just finished a couple of weeks testing and am switching my driver tomorrow from TS3 to Epic Max LS. It's then just trying to get that 3/5 wood and then I'm done!!! Got a few ideas and leaning towards Sim/Sim 2 Titanium 5 wood and Ping G425 5 wood...more likely to drop the 3 wood. I don't hit 3 wood off tees often but there are two holes I need some extra height and carry off the deck.
Anyhow...appreciate you getting back to me and likewise if you've any questions then fire away. Cheers👍🏻
@@colinsmith99 Taylormade M5 10.5, will change next year though as hitting too high & not getting enough run, don't like how the face looks when lowering loft via settings & would prefer a draw which would be more difficult with the opening of the face when lowering loft. Cheers & all the best 👍
What cobra 5 wood is that? It's absolutely gorgeous!
I have a 3, 4, and 5. I can hit them, but I don't play them enough to know what my carry distance is constantly!
Today's fairway woods and rescue woods have really minimized the irons I carry.
Need help with this choice, back to the game after a 12 year break. I hit 4 iron well, dont get much out of my 3 iron anymore so was looking getting 3 hybrid and 3 wood which I could up to 4 wood if needed. As the 5 wood seem to go similar distance as 3 hybrid with a softer landing?
Hi Alec. Very interesting advice which I’m going to give it a try.
I’ve a totally unrelated question for you. You’ve hit your ball through the green and it’s lying in thickish grass about 2 or 3 feet from the green. What club do you use to put it on a fairly slick green obviously as near to the pin as possible? This scenario happens to me a few times a round and I keep bungling it.
Great tip, thanks mate 👍
I got both in a eBay purchase in Taylor made m2 absolutely love them both
I been considering adding a 5 wood to the bag. I’ve just increased the loft on my 3 wood to see how much difference it will make on my next round. Thanks for the information, very timely.
Well worth it Gunny. I carry both the 3 and 5 woods. Have for some time. I find they both have their purpose.
Specifically for the tee / driver alternative, strong 3 wood or normal 3 wood? When one has a slow/average swing speed
normal 3 wood! thanks for tuning in
Been there. Tried a strong 3 wood (Ping G stretch) and it did not work. A 15° 3 wood was almost always better in my experience.
This guy is good.
Thank you Andy! I really appreciate that!
What Stroke Lab are you gaming? I love my Stroke Lab V line.
Do I need a fairway wood? Why not just load up on hybrids?
My 3wood is lofted at 16deg...the 5wood is at 19deg..easiest 3wood ive ever hit
Great video thanks
Thanks
thank you Leo
Split the difference and go 4 wood or 3HL?
great video
I have both 3 and 5 wood, Cobra SZ. There's no doubt my 5 wood goes further, so currently the 3 wood is out of the bag and a 7 wood has replaced it.
Why does your 5 wood go further? Is it your swing speed?
I carry a 17 degree 4 wood! Easier to get in the air than a 3 wood! Cheer's
What about hybrids instead? In my understanding Most golfers struggle with the 3W do to the length of the club…. Also in you video you are referring to people that are non very skilled at hitting long irons, in such a case instead of trying to hit a 5W to maybe get there in 2 I would suggest them to hit 2x PW and surely make it on the green in 3. What do you think?
Yeah this is true to be hair!
I love my hybrids . Although I do have both a 3 and a 5 Wood when you are in the rough or having a tough time hitting the longer woods its great to have the option of a hybrid. I carry several hybrids. I think its a great idea.
Alex, I am a slower swing speed player. I currently own a 3 wood. Would you recommend trading or adding for 5 wood? In other words, do I really need BOTH clubs in the bag or just the 5W?
i mean it’s a really great point to be fair, if you don’t feel like you will use them both then no…
@@AlexElliottGolf I’m wondering if I should keep 3W to use off the tee for longer shots, and add 5W for fairway shots because it’s easier to hit….
5 wood or 3/2 iron hybrid?
How about a 4 wood? I also have a high launch shaft.
Yes 🙌🏼 this is a great idea! 💡
@@AlexElliottGolf I recently bought the Stealth 2 HD at 16.5* with the speeder high launch shaft. From South Dakota so I can’t go outside yet but it looked good in the bay. Nice big head for confidence too. I think it will be great on shorter par 4s. Thanks Alex.
