Got one! Works great for 5 iron replacement. I hit it higher longer and stops on the green with no problem. I'm 65 years young and 6.9 handicap😊.

Added a 9wood three years ago, dropped the 4 & 5 iron. More carry, more stopping. Pops the ball better than a 7wood. Driving my golf friends wild.
Two have bought it. 66 years old, and having much fun!

When my dad passed away I kept his 9 wood
Play it occasionally for the sheer fun it gives 👍

I’ve been using a 9-7-5 combo for 40 years. Never could control a 5-4-3 irons. Used to carry the 5 iron 185 and the 9 wood 190, 7 W at 205 and 5W 225. Those were the days. Plus the woods always had a softer landing compared to the irons.

I'm 40yrs old and been playing a 7 and 9 wood for almost 20yrs now. I was never good with long irons and found nike ignite 7&9 wood on clearance in 2005. I still have them! these changed my game instantly, and started me on getting better. they're in the garage now, and have epic flash heavenwood in the bag now. I will always have a high lofted wood in my bag, the benefits out way everything else for my game!

As an old man with low swing speed, I find my 7-wood one of my favorites. Sure might try a 9-wood.

I have both 7 and 9 wood in the bag and find the gapping works well. I can grip down on the 9 wood and play it at 175 yards or regular grip to 190. So all in all it works great and took my 5 iron out of my bag.

[davidmcdowell]

Put a 9 wood in the bag about 3 months ago took my 5 iron out one of the best moves I have made.

I am 53 14 handicap and I've got the Ping G425 9 wood max and removed my 5 iron its so much more forgiving and gives me so much confidence using it out the rough

I was praising my 9 wood yesterday to my playing partners. After I nailed a 180 shot, pin high, into the green over a pond, they were believers! This thing is awesome. It stops on a dime and carries long enough for good approach shots. I’m playing a different brand, but works great!
Gapping is tricky, like you said. I go 9w to 4H for longer approaches to 4W for the longest shots. Shorter than the 9W, I’m using a 6H that slots in nicely for 155 to 175 shots.

I have had a Ping G5 nine wood in my bag for many years. I bought it used and the guy told me you'll love it forever! Mine is my 165 yard club! I now carry the Taylor 300 mini, the Stealth 3 plus club and my nine wood!

[nathanrobarge]

I carry my 9 wood almost as much as my cobra 5wood. 190-200 yards. The stealth 9 wood is an absolutely insane club

[jcs]

I carry a 9, Heaven and 4 wood. (heaven is between 7 and 5) the 9 is great and replaces my 5 iron. 165 carry and good height coming into a green...glad Dustin took my advice😁

DJ has been quoted as saying that it carries the same as his 3-iron and that his 3-iron doesn't really carry any further than his 4-iron but the 3-iron runs further so he decided to give the 9-wood a try because it stops on greens given the descent angle. He apparently loves it and now swaps it in and out of the bag if the course favors dropping the lower-flighted 3-iron. For gapping, DJ carries a weakly lofted 3-wood at 16.5 degrees and then into a 21-degree 7-wood

Me and my 20 handicap can use any and all help it can get! I went to a set of Wilson Launch Pad irons, from an old set of Pro Staff OS. The confidence I've gained is huge, with being able to hear the sweet spot on contact. If a 9W does the same kind of thing, then I'm in.

[CWBY]

For a lefty like myself, a 9 wood is a unicorn, at least if I want to find a used one. Seem like everyone is holding on to them! I have a utility 3 19 degrees and it never gives me confidence. This year I bought a 5w and a 7w. They really improved my game, especially the 7w. Just a beautiful ball flight! I have PW-5 iron but the i5 rarely comes out so I've been looking for a 9w, preferably used to save some money. Nice vid👍

[johnhunter]

Just bought a Stealth 9 wood. I'll be using it on Friday. A couple of weeks ago I bought a ping 7 wood and love it. So easy to get the ball in the air, and great for getting the ball out the rough. I'm looking forward to giving the 9 wood a go. 👍

[christianvachon]

Great video! I was hoping for this one after seeing Dustin Johnson's WITB in June. Dustin Johnson answered the why in a recent interview - the 9 wood is taking the place of his 3 iron. His lofts are interesting. DJ's latest WITB info states his driver is a 12 degrees, his 3 wood is a HL at 16.5 degrees, his 7 wood is at 21 degrees and his 9 wood is at 24 degrees.

[TJSenate]

I and middle aged and use a 9 wood and as a mid handicap it give much more confidence with long par-3 and my 4-5 iron distance fairway shots. Love the club....

[DonAl]

Thank you. Your point makes sense. It comes to the distance of other clubs. But maybe for senior golfer it might be a good option. 👍🏻👍🏻😊
