Hey, welcome back to Golf Life. I'm out at my home course here at the Omni Interlochen in Broomfield, Colorado. Folks, if you come to Denver, you gotta stay at the Omni, you know the quality of that resort property, but this is 27 holes of golf right against the front range. It's unmatched. You gotta come check it out. And today we're gonna check out the 3, 5 7 from performance golf. And let me tell you, it's very interesting. It has a five wood stiff shaft in it that I asked for a stiff shaft and it has the loft of a seven wood. It's flatter on the bottom and it's got some technology that interestingly might give you some distance with a lot of forgiveness. Now you can see here I'm going to hit my gamer three wood and that's got a titanium face. That thing is hot, it flies really well. I love my three wood, but I have to say I don't absolutely love hitting it off the deck. And my seven wood only really carries about 180 to 180 5 for me. So let's see how the 3, 5 7 performs by giving us that performance and that forgiveness that we're looking for. So we'll walk over here and hit a ball here. Now as I said, you see the shot of me hitting the three wood and I hit that with the flight scope, tracking it at about a 205 to 210 yard carry depending on how well I got a hold of it. Let's hit this performance golf 3, 5, 7. See how that thing works? Oh, that's well struck right down the middle. Let's see how we did carry Is 180 9 0.0. Wow. So that one, and I didn't scream too hard, there was carried at 180 9, 1 97 total distance on that and a nice high ball fight, but more importantly was totally forgiving to hit it. And that's really the key. I've got so much forgiveness that I can have the confidence. Oh my goodness, wow. First of all, Harry Is 195.9 yards. I hit that 1 95 with a two 10 total distance. And I gotta tell you, I actually kind of got into that in the turf, but I didn't feel it. That was completely butter through the turf. It's easy off the face and the ball is high and the just the ball flight off of it, it just explodes off of it. As a forgiving golf club, if I can hit a seven wood loft with a five wood shaft and have it carry a total of 1 95 with a two 10 for me, with an easy swing like that versus my three wood, which I'm gonna struggle off the turf, what a great product to have in your bag. Go to try three five seven.com and try this thing out. What do you got to lose? Now, one of the things I like to do with something like this at 3 5, 7 has that seven wood face that gives you a ton of surface area. You know a five wood is about 30% more surface area than a three wood. That's why you should always hit a five wood from the fairway or that's what the top teachers say. So imagine what a seven wood gives you in terms of surface area. It's almost like hitting a wedge if you think of it that way. Kinda keep your hands a little low at your hips back and just get a nice little wedge shot, right? Oh baby, it hits the ball high. It's forgiving off the face. Can I hit that on the bottom of the club a little bit, but I still carry that in 1 72 with a total of 180 1. I'll take that with a half swing all day long out of the fairway forgiving. What I like is it's red so it makes for a good Christmas present right now for any golfer in your family. And if you want one for yourself, I would strongly suggest it. Folks, it's gonna be something you can hit far or you can relax and trust and still get great distance, which is that little wedge swing 'cause you got all that surface area. Try three five seven.com.
