My new set has just arrived this morning
Ping G425 LST Driver & 3W 3i & 4i hybrids 5i – PW in the Ping 525’s & 50, 54, 60 in the glides Oslo H putter.
Can’t wait for Thursday & Friday.
♥️𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆❤️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthh.Online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfairr, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
I’m playing the stealth 5-P 3 wood & 7 wood regular graphite
Great review.
Super video as always, enjoyed seeing the numbers on the different products in the stealth line, thanks 👍🏻 I’ve got set of stealth irons, just can’t beat them for ease of use, will take the 5 out swap for a 4 DHY, then into 5 and 3 wood….keep a cheeky space in bag to try a ChipR for abit 😉
Have you put that Ping ChipR down yet Andy?
Great video and I completely agree about most club golfers should not carry irons with lofts of less than 24 or 25 degrees. However, it does depend on swing speed. If your swing speed is 105 mph or more with a driver then you probably have the speed with an iron in your hand to launch a lower loft iron, but if your driver is around the average (95-100mph for male golfers) then stopping at 5i or possibly even 6i is the right approach.
As for 9 woods. I have tried them, so easy to hit, very versatile (great around greens) but ball flight for me was too high to be functional on a windy day
I was only hitting the 4DHY 179yrds in my brief test the other, so room for improvement
I gotta get that avg hat. Do you ship to the United States?
Hooked my 4iron all over Cheshire today so the day may be coming when I have to look at these options more seriously… and consider them as "Opportunities" rather than the on-set of old age.
The only purchase I'd copy is the pint 🍺 😂 As I have started playing better my old 2013 Rocketballz irons and my R7 CGB Max fairways plus the Burner driver all seem to do the exact job something newer would do. I did want irons with less offset, A change in fairway woods and a Titleist or Cobra driver but I don't see the point.
This was a very interesting comparison of the various types of clubs that hit around the same yardages. I personally had trouble with long irons and can’t hit hybrids at all, even though I am a 7 handicap. I loved it when I could hit long irons well, but it was difficult for me to do consistently. I also have a lower ball flight throughout my bag, even wedges, so I had to figure out how to get the ball higher around the 200+ yard range. I’m so glad for videos like this because it helped me swallow my pride and give higher lofted fairway woods a try. Getting 7 and 9 woods custom made have been lifesavers, so-to-speak.
Not a Taylor Made fan but I know they make good stuff. I like good equipment but I also like a good deal too. Every club in my bag was reduced price except for my putter. Don’t see many putter sales though. Taylor Made doesn’t seem to drop their prices drastically after another new release either. At least not enough to make me consider trying them.
I ordered the stealth irons 6-PW and the 5 DHY….will maybe get the 3 DHY ( also ordered the MIZUNO JPX HM 5-PW ) will see which irons work best for me and sell the other set or maybe keep both….I also plan on getting the PING CHIPR.. a CLEVELAND Sand Wedge is the only other wedge that i have …got a PING G425 in the 5 and 7 wood and 5 hybrid 7 hybrid,,,,,PXG GEN 4 hybrid 22 degrees…2 Drivers ( SRIXON ZX 5 and the PING G425 Max ) so i need to delete a couple clubs or so….looking forward to the process…..GREAT REVIEW …CHEERS FROM CANADA
My 1960s MacGregor Tourney MT muscle back 5 iron had 32 deg. loft, 37.5" in length.
i haven't tried any of the Stealth cubs yet but I have some crossover in loft in my bag with maybe only a few yards difference in carry 6iron and 5 hybrid only .5 a degree diff and the same carry but totally different flight and decent and total distance nothing wrong with it pick what you need for your bag.😁
Dry ball data
stealth yeah reasonable product thats why i got custom fitted for COBRA!
Golf. The hardest sport for us lefty’s LOL
Great video, Andy! My strongest-lofted iron is about 24* to 26* loft (a 5 or 6 iron, depending on which set of irons I have in my bag). I tried playing a set of irons with a 21.5* lofted 5-iron, but that was a disaster for a variety of reasons. The loft on this iron was just too strong for my “old guy” clubhead speed, plus the PW in that set had only 42* of loft, which necessitated carrying too many other wedges to get proper distance gapping. To fill the gap between my 4-wood (16.5* loft), which is the first fairway wood after my driver and my 24* to 26*-lofted iron, I have a few different hybrids, a 7-wood (21* loft, adjusted to 20*), as well as a 21* “utility iron”. Depending on what type of course conditions I will be playing, I select one, or sometimes two, of these clubs. I was in NW England and Scotland playing links golf a couple of weeks ago (Royal Liverpool, Royal Birkdale, Royal Troon’s Old Course, and the Ailsa Course at Turnberry). I left my 7-wood at home in favor of a Cleveland HALO Hy-Wood (18* loft) and the 21* utility iron because I knew that I would want to be using clubs that would give me a lot of run-out after the ball landed. My 7-wood launches so darned high that I felt it would not be a good club for playing links golf, and I was definitely correct on that count. Whenever I hit the Hy-Wood or the utility iron, I tried to land the ball 25 or more yards short of the front of the green and run it on, which worked quite well. With the 7-wood, this would not have been possible, even on the firm fescue fairways (at least not very often). With the softer turf conditions that I normally encounter, and the elevated greens that I generally play here in the USA, the 7-wood is a much better choice, and I usually plan on carrying my 7-wood approaches to the front of the greens or just a few yards short and not plan for a great deal of run-out. I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I have the 21* utility iron in my bag here at home, but I almost always bag the 7-wood.
I go PXG driver . Sim 4 wood , 3 & 4 hybrid . 5 to now ( 46 deg ) 52,58 ping glides . Sik putter and new 3 using for my windy links course
The 4-hybrid launching at 14-degrees, compared to the 4-DHY launching at 16-degrees, with the same carry and spin, is kind of shocking – and the hybrid has a lower peak height? – wow. I play the Taylormade GapR–Hi 4, with 22-degrees of loft, de-lofted to 20.5-degrees, and I love that club .This new DHY seems like a great combo of the older GapR-Mid and Hi – which is basically perfect, in my opinion, for that perfect club to transition from iron to woods.
New to the channel, why is this called the average golfer he has a nine handicap that is not average.
Driver 9* Sim2 Max D, 3w 15* Sim2 TI, 7w 21* sim2 max, 4dhy lofted at 24* instead of 22*, 5-PW mizuno mp-59, 52/56/60 miura lh tour wedges, ping Sydney putter
Im waiting on my custom order of stealth irons 5-aw. I have a similar swing speed as you so now I’m concerned about being able hold greens with the 5 iron. I did test the stealth 4 hybrid and that thing was a rocket. Might have to look into the 5 hybrid as a 5 iron replacement.
That's why T.M. is one of the most expensive companies on the planet. Unfortunately this is becoming the norm throughout the industry.
Cheers Andy. Please enjoy that Pint as I have enjoyed my Modelo watching your video. Thank you sir.
