Fitting a 7-wood and 9-wood into your bag? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing the merit of adding both a 7-wood and 9-wood to your setup. WRXer ‘naval2006’ kicks off the conversation saying:

“I’m currently using 4/5/6 hybrids and a strong 5. I use my 5 and 6h often at my home course and they are very easy to hit for me. A couple of my usual partners have got 7 and 9-woods. One of them is a fairly good player and he produces a lot of great shots with these sticks. He tells me they are addictive and so easy to hit that it’s like cheating.

My questions are:

What club do they replace? I think they’d be like a 4 and 5 hybrid or am I wrong?

Have you been using them for a while? How would they compare to the clubs you replaced?

I’ve been using hybrids for a very long time and I wouldn’t trade my 5h, but is there any room between this club and a 5-wood to place 7 and 9-woods?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

boggyman: “Trial and error has my bag at 4/7/9 woods after driver. Per a Ping chart, it recommends 4/7w then 5 hybrid at my 7 iron distance. 9 wood for me covers the 5 hybrid, but I can take a tad off to cover the distance or hit it normal. Added it a couple months ago. Used it today several times along with the 7 wood. My fairway woods are shorter than so called stock length which helps me tremendously. I’m thinking of a 6 hybrid after my 9 wood when I get irons soon.”
3006Sprng: “I play 5w,7w,5h, then 5i to Pw, I find that my 5h to my 7w (26-21) degree gap, is about 20 yards, which is perfect at the top of the bag. I replaced an 18 degree UT iron with the 7 wood and it’s amazing, never looked back. 7 wood for sure would replace a 4h in the low 20 degree loft range.”
stratgolf: “It’s very hard to tell you what they replace without data. 7 woods traditionally replace the 3 iron, but many find it replaces their 4 iron instead. 9 wood traditionally replaces 4 iron, but again many find it replaces their 5. When moving to woods, it is imperative you get the gapping correct. I have loved replacing hybrids with woods. They don’t turn over as much on me, and I find them so easy to launch and they’re terrific on mishits. Would reccommend.”

What are the best golf socks? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”
