 Yeah, it's a return of team average and that means I get to sit this one out We get the opinions of three different golfers. We've got J We've got down and we've got John Tinkler and they're gonna start off with J They're gonna we're looking at I should start with that shouldn't I it's one of the what I think has been the greatest releases of 2021 it is the Pingi for 25 7 wood. I think this thing is fantastic And I think it suits a large number of average golfers that probably would have normally ignored a 7 wood But we're gonna see how it compares up against their equivalent clubs in the bag I think each of them is a hybrid and we'll start off with J He'll start to collect numbers with his own club then with a 7 wood and then he'll give you his opinion And we'll move on down the line This is really easy to it and that yeah really easy I Said even bad swing still go. Well, yeah, how did it visibly launch? What was that for mine? I thought it would have launched a lot higher than it did, but it doesn't it No, it's very similar to my three hybrid. Do you notice any difference with the shaft length moving to the hybrid J? I don't massively but to be honest it actually feels like mine's a little bit longer. Yeah, even though it's not Weird that and it's physically like when I stand over it feels longer, but they're when I compare and there's about an inch I think yeah, the other ones longer Maybe that's to do with the shape of the head. What would you do? What would you prefer having the two of the dress? Which would you prefer and is there anyone that gives you any more confidence to the other or what kind of because they're massively different? I mean, it's in there for 25 quite big Yeah, I mean looking at them. I Would probably say the seven wood looks more friendly to hit But it has got a shallower face than mine, right? It's quite a bit deeper. Yeah, it sits low doesn't it? 425 but it's really easy to swing really easy to hit Launches well and gets good carry out of it So and like I said didn't the shaft difference is slightly longer in the seven wood Yeah, but when I stand over it mine feels longer. Yeah, I think that might be because of the size of the head head Yeah, it's the balance usually your eyes up a little bit Oh There we go That's it isn't it sounding good? That's brilliant that one straight as narrow and orange difference between the two Yeah, that got up really high really quick then. Yeah Flew really well straight like I said, I've just got a I've just got to change my delivery with the club It's something that Is a little bit shallower on the way in compared to my hybrid But like I said, that's something I've not really tried so putting it into a Situation where I can test it a bit more is definitely better out here Looks really nice a nice matte finish on the top sits quite low to the floor and a little bit stretch back Looks like it presents quite a lot of loft on the face when you look at it But it looks like it's gonna inspire a bit of confidence make it feel nice and easy to hit Sound of it. I was expecting to be a little bit louder but it's actually feels really solid when you hit it and when I tested it I did hit it from like various points on the face not intentionally but obviously average golfer and You can actually feel it quite well where you're striking it from I was able to tell The test of where we were hitting it from low in the face like off the tone things like that So feel feedback from it's really good. So the performance of it. I was expecting it to fly quite high And probably be a little bit shorter than my hybrid when in reality they launched probably a little bit lower than my Hybrid and it flew probably five ten yards longer. I would say So really actually outperformed my three hybrid which is 19 degrees. So mine was a little bit stronger lofted on it so I couldn't really fault it in any way and The actual consistency of distances 180 off various points off the face was like bang on it was like pretty much the same all the time So really happy with that The price points quite expensive But I guess that's where the way things are going at the minute if you look at the R&D that goes into them and the technology and the materials They're made from Costs relative to suppose it depends what it means to you and I wouldn't really want to spend that amount of money on a club That I potentially don't use that often But if it's something used more often than a three would or something then it's it's comparable in it and probably worth it at That point Yeah, overall, I would say it surprised me and it performed a lot better than I thought it Would the ball flight was a lot better and I could actually manipulate it a little bit as well I ate some lower ones and then I put a bit more loft on it and sense it a little bit higher as well So all in all really good club definitely worth trying out So next up it's Dan and he's using a g4 10 3 hybrid currently You collect some numbers on that and then move on to the seven would Yes It pretty much is like my hybrid just a bit higher flight it Very easy to hit off the deck, isn't it? Yeah, it feels nice off the face though Yeah, it's a bit a little bit of ground before ball there, but it's still gone out there in it Yeah, it picks up nice out of that. Don't it? Yeah. Yeah, that launch is a bit higher than my Would you play from that kind of lie? You said yeah my hybrid I play from that's exactly what I would play from that why yeah Especially if I still had sort of a Long iron in if you know me That definitely picks up out the grass better Yeah And I love this club and that it does inspire a bit more confidence down at the ball if I'm honest I didn't think it would I didn't think the bigger head would make a difference, but it really does. I mean Yeah, now I can see it That does that does Yeah, almost this almost now feels harder to hit see that That's the danger with this then Doesn't if you don't quite catch it. It doesn't quite come out as well So yeah, it's doing exactly what it's meant to do, isn't it? To be honest, I quite like the look of a ping if I'm honest that I quite like they've lost the turbulent I think that that is better down at the down at the ball and shelf appeal to be honest Down at the ball. It was like I said before it just inspired confidence I didn't think it would but it did certainly better than It just looked easier to hit than my hybrid if I'm honest again I've got nothing against the sound and feel of a ping. I play ping Driver in fact, I play ping most of the way through the bag apart from the wedges that one Probably a little bit better than in fact, it feels like my g42 driver. I've just gone into it I quite like it's a nice noise nice feel. I Don't understand these people who don't get on with the sound if I'm honest Ronseal really exactly where it says on the tin. I thought it was gonna launch higher. It did thought it was gonna descend Sort of softer if you like a little steeper, so it would grab the greens and it did exactly that We tried to match lofts didn't mean my hybrid and it's going about the same distance. It's literally just different flight Yeah It sits exactly where everything else in and around it sits doesn't it? I don't think I don't think it's overly expensive for What you're getting if you like a nice piece of tech. I think ping do I think ping do that very well actually They seem to put a lot more effort than the other companies into the fairway woods. I feel You know the like the likes of the bigger boys tend to focus on the driver and then just make a fairway wood as well But they definitely seem to be trying to Make something a little bit more specific to that thing if you know what I mean Yeah, I didn't think coming it. I didn't think I would ever feel like there was a need for it in my game Haven't hit it and been nicely surprised by it. I Would possibly look at maybe lowering the loft of my hybrid and taking the four-iron out and then putting a seven wood In between that hybrid and my say three and five three would yeah Yeah, I think I would yeah, yeah Last but not least it's onto John Tinkler and he's going to use his TS2 hybrid as his comparable product Let's see how John gets on Nice seem to Yeah It was a nice looking club. It sat well at the ground the alignment aid at the on the top is a lot better than the old variety seems to be quite a lot of the back end of the club Which is a bit distracting, but I'm not usually a Multiple wood player. I'm more of a hybrid man difficult to To make too much comment about the sound because on an indoor In an indoor setting it does tend to echo somewhat, but it did sound quite loud I have to say not as loud as the driver, but certainly loud And if that puts you off and affects your feel then it's not going to be for you When you look at that at the hybrid against it Quite a pingy noise off the titleist hybrid to be honest But the feel of both of them was fairly similar when you took them in the middle they came off quite clean Yeah, I found it quite strange I realized that it went high for a reason and that the spin is obviously the reason why it goes high But it sort of peaked and dropped There was if you're wanting to this to run you're going to have to manufacture a different type of shot with it It's it it's equivalent to the hybrid but I for my Reasons of being able to get it higher and lower and manipulate the club are more as a hybrid preference The the ping it was a nice enough club. It went but it went too high for my taste As you as you could see there, they're not quite on level ground There's about two and a half maybe three inches worth of extra shaft on the seven wood I Didn't it didn't feel any different at all to be honest at address. You just naturally Set up But I didn't feel it it impacted anyway either on the test or the data that we got back particularly The interesting thing is that they're virtually the same loft on them and the difference was hugely in the spin It's it's pricey For what it is at that at that sort of level I'd be looking at all the other options in the marketplace to see whether or not This was the one for you. I mean get don't get me wrong. It's a it's a nice club and it's a good club, but By and large they try to they they come with their own shaft So whether or not there's enough leeway for people to go from extra stiff down to Seniors soft flex Is a moot point it is expensive It's in this it's in the price level with With the title list and the top end of the tailor-made So you have to be prepared to pay that for it, but if you like it then then it's fine But I it's not for me. I would stay with a hybrid at that level on the 20 degrees Right, so in terms of summary I think it's a fairly fairly quick one from my perspective and I think the first thing it shows is that Everybody must try clubs for themselves because I think there's a quite a difference certainly between John's numbers and Dan's for example I think Dan it was a real good club for him at launch far higher than his hybrid carrying the same sort of distances spin Numbers about the same J his three hybrid in the seven would were probably very similar in many ways slight yardage difference of some Quicker ball speeds came off of the seven would but again that would be dependent on what you're looking for from the club I think again both Dan and Jay were really keen out of the the rough that we played outside felt it launched really high and Perhaps very positive towards that kind of play and like I said John probably better suited to his hybrid He currently had in the bag and again an horrendous spin number He was achieving or difference in spin number between the two and again goes back to that custom fit And you must find probably a better suited shaft in there for John and a little bit more time required to get that set up for him But the message is and I like the way this test in his panning out three different golfers All attack the ball slightly differently different swings all together and it just shows us ever There's no one club fits all but I think overall perhaps certainly two to one at least were very positive towards the Seven would but the important thing is like I said you get out there and give it a go Anyway, as ever thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video Please give us some feedback if you like what we did in terms of this team average. We're going to continue with it But always up open to your opinion on ways in which you'd like to see us Do things moving forward if you've got some ideas then stick them in that comments down below Right, that's me done having it a golf ball again this week. So I'll see you all soon
