It makes perfect sense! I do have a 7 wood, and I have been hitting it as my go-to club out of the rough, at least, when it's not so deep that I can't use anything other than a wedge. I didn't know why it seemed to work, but now I do. I will definitely try choking down a little to get a smaller circumference circle/steeper angle, and I think that will enable me to hit in even deeper grass without having to go all the way to the wedge. Thanks!

@juanhunglow2220 3 месяца назад

Great vid. Always great to understand how and why something works …or doesn’t. The hosel ahead of the club face makes perfect sense

@2Malachi 3 месяца назад

Yeah, but a 4 hybrid is a better version of a 7 wood, so I would ignore his advice and get used to hybrids, great clubs to use.

@jjflash1645 3 месяца назад

You the man. I did what you said and used a 7 wood in the rough. I couldn’t have hit it better if I tried. I give you an 11 out of 10.

@TheGolfSensei 3 месяца назад

Awesome!

@stevecampbell5928 4 месяца назад

Very interesting video and makes sense. I have a 7-wood in my bag and it works great for me off of the tee on some holes and in the fairway. But I've never even considered using it out of the rough. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the video!

@michaellemieux2852 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the insight Ed & Patrick , I carry a 7 wood in my bag but have always used a lofted iron and played conservative

@TheGolfSensei 4 месяца назад

Try a half swing with the 7 wood sometime, you’ll be amazed how easily it cuts through the rough!

@PanglossDr 3 месяца назад

I liked your suggestion to go 'half way'. I do that regularly when on the fairway if the green is out of range. If the first shot goes half way I use the same club again. More often than not it doesn't so I go up or down a club for my next. If the grass is very long I pick the shortest path to a good lie, sideways often. I position the ball in line with my right foot and hit down almost vertically with a pitching wedge. It only goes about 20 yards but has rarely failed to get me out.

@magnificentmuttley2084 3 месяца назад

I’m a believer now too!! What a great idea. Put the so-called ‘rescue’ club away because it won’t rescue you from this kind of rough lie but using a high-lofted fairway wood is a great idea. It makes perfect sense, as he says. I may even buy a 7-wood just for this very job. Thank you Sensei!

@stevenwhiting8941 9 дней назад

TY, I shot my worse score 96 two weeks ago. Came across your videos and found answers to a lot of my problems I was experiencing; chipping, putting, driver. Yesterday 8/29/24, I shot my best score of 2024; 84, by implementing your suggestions. Have you made any videos on hitting irons higher? Currently a 15 HCP, I live in Phila so unable to schedule a session with you.

@TheGolfSensei 8 дней назад

Wow that’s fantastic, great job! We will have to do a video about iron height. We did one already about how to hit them well - it’s one of the early videos on our channel

@michaelrutledge7048 3 месяца назад

The leading edge of your hybrid and your 7-wood are positioned about the same in front of the hosel of BOTH clubs. You simply concealed it on the hybrid. I'll continue to use my hybrid for these situations, as it's shorter and I control it better.

@lkae4 3 месяца назад

You can have a fairway holt melted and cut down to feel more solid and controllable than a hybrid. But if you like the look of a hybrid, go for it. I could never get along with a hybrid but I love my 9 wood cut down and hot melted to E3 swing weight.

@davidowens5898 3 месяца назад

This is actually really useful information. A lot of these U-toob golf vids that promise 'miraculous' cures for krappy iron shots, don't work. This actually works. Yay.

@lkae4 3 месяца назад

I've not had so much luck with fairways out of the rough but I don't choke down that far. Will have to give it a try but it seems I would have to open the face a bit too to compensate for the upright face.

@ERFNED2926 3 месяца назад

My Adam’s #3 & #4 hybrid leading edge is beyond the hosel as your 7-wood.

@user_1664 2 месяца назад

Horses for courses , different rough requires a different approach . I do agree that a wood ( i only carry a five ) is usually better than a hybrid from long leaf grabby grasses , however if you have duvet fescue you are not getting any wood or hybrid in there ever , that requires a hosel first iron with force , swampy rough will also laugh at a wood but accepts a fast aggressive iron .

@mrbigglesworth375 Месяц назад

Look for the average golfer stop trying to make that hero shot out of the rough. Just take a lofted club 8,9,pw etc and get it back into the fairway. Wedge it on, two putt take your bogey and move on. Even scratch players often take this approach.

@williamgarry2635 4 месяца назад

Thanks for this video!!! Before I knew anything about evaluating lies, I tried something as stupid as hitting a 6-iron out of 6”-8” rough. I learned a hard won lesson not to hit lower lofted clubs out of the rough. Thanks for teaching me WHAT TO DO in this situation. How do you recommend people to practice this shot to get a sense for distance?

@edschwent1630 4 месяца назад

Find some deep rough somewhere and a shag bag and try it

@mikepainter2135 3 месяца назад

The Callaway Big Bertha woods from the 1990’s, with warbird sole, work well from in the rough. At least they do for me.

@SupersonicFox 3 месяца назад

@Paul-lm5gv 3 месяца назад

The problem is that virtually all public courses and many private ones do not do a 1st and 2nd cut of rough like the pros get to play out of every day. The first cut is mowed higher than the fairway but lower than the rough - the ball still is very visible and hit-able!

@annslattery9999 4 месяца назад

Very interesting will start to practice. Ball position? Normal 7 wood or bit further back?

@TheGolfSensei 4 месяца назад

Patrick here - the shot from the video towards the end was my normal ball position with 7 wood, but you could certainly experiment with it and see what works best for you

@merocaine 2 месяца назад

Yeah my 5 wood works well out of rough, my 5 hybrid, unless its sitting up is a crap shoot.

@tacticaltruth8118 4 месяца назад

Great video. You would advise a 7-wood and not a 3-wood because the loft will help it get out?

@TheGolfSensei 4 месяца назад

Yes higher lofted wood will make it easier

@tacticaltruth8118 4 месяца назад

@@TheGolfSensei Tried this on the course today. It works great with a 7-wood, not so easy with a 3-wood.

You forgot to point out not all irons are offset. Ypu can also open your iron face, swing more steeply, etc.

@TheStaniG 2 месяца назад

This is EXACTLY why I cant play a hybrid to save my life but I monster my AI Smoke 7 wood.... but now I finally know WHY, THE FREAKING OFFSET.

@markhuru 23 дня назад

It does matter what distance your trying to get out of shot, and thickness of rough. Obviously you’re not going to go 200 yrds with an 8 iron,my go to is hinge club early and predict ball to go left, so aim right.

@raymondola 3 месяца назад

"The rough is 6 to 8 inches" . The guys ankles are still above the grass. 3 inches in spots. US open rough isn't even that high.

@petersmith9470 3 месяца назад

Close the toe inwards and the rough opens the face at impact. Don't do it with hybrids or woods

@jqsmooth77 26 дней назад

No. If the rough is that thick, take a lofted iron like a 9 or pitching wedge and chip it out. Who carries a 7 wood?

@billmalec 3 месяца назад

Seems like the powers that be are trying to get all of us to buy 7 woods this year. Kinda like the paint and fashion industry saying 'this is the in color this year'.

@rickmiller8893 3 месяца назад

...is that you ACTUALLY have to hit it from there. Pick it up or use the .75 iron cleat "stinger"... Back to the fairway...and you don't have to hit it from there either. Get you a tee..and a 90* wedge and you deserve whatever happens if you act on this....

@2Malachi 3 месяца назад

I can't see any reason why you would use a ladies club rather than a 4-hybrid. Hybrids are great out of the rough and a lower ball flight too, to run it up the fairway. I used to carry a 7-wood years ago, but they became redundant when hybrids arrived (except maybe for high handicap ladies, who shouldn't be allowed on golf courses anyway). Poor video.
