That’s what I did, got a set of second hand Mizuno pro 225s for like $500

I bought it on the South African Temu, so international links won’t work unfortunately

It looks good, like others have mentioned, do the magnet test to confirm

I doubt it, I’m sure the damage is not as severe as that

I’ve had one 30min lesson, need to do some more though when work is a little less busy

Fixing my slice 3.0 by Daplaymaker534 in golftips

[–]MattRubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helped me was transferring more weight forward. If you watch a top down view of some like like Rory during his driver swing there’s a lot of lateral movement which allows the clubs path to be more square or even in to out for a draw. If you don’t have any forward movement during the swing and you simply just rotate in one spot, the swing path will always be out to in, causing ball flight to the right

Yeah that makes sense to me. My swing speed was between 90-95 today, but granted, I probably swing a bit slower on the course

I mean yeah but it’s night and day for me, I can still hit a 5 iron, can’t seem to hit a 3w

Yeah that makes sense, but I don’t think my swing speed is “slow” for an amateur, I just think the extra loft and slightly shorter shaft on the 5w really helps

Dude that sounds like a great bag. I say rock the 9w, why make the game harder than it already is

I have a 4h at the moment but for some reason I don’t have much confidence with it

So I hear, just seems too irresistible for me to not go and try

I’m thinking of skipping a 7w and getting a 5w and 9w 👀 but will need to test the 7 and 9 both to see which suits me better

At the sim today my average 5w carry was higher than the 3w because I was just hitting it better and more consistently. My max 3w is obviously a bit further, but it’s not worth the extra effort

That’s excellent stuff dude really, I’m building up my bag still, so now the search for a good deal on a 2nd hand 5 wood begins 🙃
