TG8

In my (only semi-serious) defense: as a general rule, I don't love buying knock-off training aids. I would make a distinction between DIY-ing a training aid that is clearly inspired by a commercial product and buying something that is commercially violating someone's IP. In general (again), I avoid the latter, while rather enthusiastically embracing the former.
I have also found that a dog ball velcroed to a wrist strap, with a spatula stuck in the back of the wrist strap makes a very useful AmateurSENDR.

The deals have me torn between aero and ltdx max. I did read an article that they got rid of the rails due to it interfering with the way the old powerbridge was engineered 🤷‍♂️

Plus 2 for rogue st max and 3 cobra Aerojet max     You guys have my attention 🤔

Hey guys,
what is your favorite 7 fairway wood and why? Wanting something super easy to hit. 
 
 I love my Frankenstein cobra f8 5/6 wood head with a 7 wood shaft. Myself and two buddies swear the cobra rails on the bottom make it effortless to hit. 
 

Unfortunately closest golf store is almost 2 hours away. closest pgass is 6 hours.
Ive learned to find good deals and if they dont work out just sell for the same price to hopefully break even.

It’s funny because it’s true. 

Here’s a video post of me using it with a wood and an iron. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C43QAGurESk/?igsh=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ== 

Just got back from the hardware store. I’m thinking combining your idea with my skills tempo and grip trainer I may have the at home training I desperately need. Again awesome idea 👏

It’s been fantastic. I was becoming disconnected in the back swing, and this has helped immensely. I’ve also been using the Gankas g-slot. I’m hitting the ball more pure than ever and had a couple golf buddies tell me the same this past week. Don’t forget to use a balloon inside the ball for the right firmness. I’ve found it needs to be blown up just enough to match the inside volume of the ball. Don’t over inflate it. 

This thread has @GolfSpy MPR written all over it!

This may be one of the best training aids I’ve ever used. It’s a $10 dog ball from Amazon (the 5.5 inch (JW Pet Hol-ee Roller Dog Toy), a 2” x 12” Velcro strap, and I blew up a balloon inside the ball to get the level of firmness I wanted. The ball by itself was too soft. The goal is to keep the ball firmly between both arms through the entire swing.

I have the first one, the trainer ball. Just got it this week. I like it a lot it is making me turn my shoulders more.
I wouldn't hesitate to get the inflatable smart ball either. 

I've been heavily debating adding a 7-wood to my bag rotation in replacement of my 2-iron. I'm trying to keep my eyes peeled for a good deal, but everything I've read about 7-wood makes me want to add one. Love my 2i, but I think it's always good to have options depending on the conditions/course, etc.

I have a PXG 0211 7 wood that alternate in the bag with a 3 hybrid.  It is very easy to hit and has a higher launch than my 3 hybrid.  

I tried a 7W last year. i couldn't find a place for it in my bag. I carried 15 clubs for a while and only used it like twice and still couldn't figure out when to use it. So I just sold it on ebay 🤷‍♂️

Interesting! I mean if at all possible, hitting them head to head would be a great option if you have a PGASS or the like close by. They are probably a horse a piece, but feel can definitely vary.

Add another for the Cobra Aerojet Max 7 wood. Got the fever to try one last year so bagged it during the Cobra challenge. Effortless high launch, easy to hit a draw when needed and as @Tom the Golf Nut mentioned, great stopping power into greens. I absolutely love it.

@GolfSpy SAM just picked up a couple LTDx fairways. I have never owned one with the rails, but if it could possibly easier to hit than the AJ Max fairways I would truly be amazed. There are great deals to be had on the LTDx line right now though!

I am beginning this season with a 5W as my only fairway wood, then I go to 5H. Once I have played enough with this setup, I can determine whether should add a 7W back to the bag. I gamed one for the past several years (a Cally Rogue Max ST) and loved it, so I suspect a return may be in the cards.  

Cobra Fly-Z 4/7 in my bag is a go-to. BUT want to look at newer, possibly Mizuno. Best, -Marv
[Meant to say 5/7]

Ping G430 with the Alta Quick shaft.  Light, easy to get the ball in the air, it's been a confidence builder for me.

I've got the PXG 0311 proto 5 and 7 woods from like 2 years ago. That 7 wood is a game changer for me as it fits nicely between my 5 iron and 5 wood. may try and see if I can try some new ones out, but getting those two out of the bag will be a chore for any 7 or 5 wood.
