I hit the best shots with my 5W and 5H Sunday that I’ve hit with them. On #7, a par 4 playing 355, I hit the AJ 5W off the tee. I play it -1°, at 17°. The shot had a beautiful high ball flight with a small bit of draw at the end, leaving 127. I couldn’t have placed the ball any more in the middle of the fairway if I had dropped it there.
On 16, our longest par 3 that was playing 219 a little downhill to a back left pin, I played the 5H to the middle of the green. I ended up just off the back of the green a little right of center. My pitch mark was 6 steps from where the came to rest. I was astonished at the height of the shot. I dropped a second ball and hit another very nice shot. Same height with about 10 feet of fade to the right side of the green. That shot was several yards short of the first but stopped quicker.
I’ve struggled with my swing hitting fairways and hybrids. When I swing even just decently, these clubs, and the 7 W, perform very well. I love the height of the shots. It’s not a ballooning flight, the ball has good carry. Like the AJ driver, these clubs have tremendous forgiveness across the face.
