I currently hit my 9 wood with a carry of 195 yards. Hit a 7 wood 225 yards and a 4 hybrid 240 yards. If I catch my 5 iron good it will carry 205 yards but I don’t trust it. What do you think I should look at for 205-220 distance?

Get rid of the 9 wood and get a 4 iron

Love hitting my 9 wood and it has replaced my 6 iron. My favorite club in my bag.

What does your set makeup look like? Do you have a 3 wood?

Learn to take something off your 7 wood. Over 200 yards isn't exactly scoring clubs.

5 iron (minus 6 iron) to gap wedge, 9 wood, 7 wood, 4H and driver. I hit a 3 wood 250, but it is a hard club for me so the 4 hybrid will suffice and I am good with that.

Put lead tape under ur 7 wood far away from face on sole. Will create higher launch adding more spin and take down yardage.

What a weird set up. Your 5i and 9w are seemingly the same club. Ditch the 5 iron. Choke down an inch for your 7W to got 210-215. Add something on the bottom of the bag where the distance gaps matter way more.

Maybe get a driver lesson and/or move up a tee if you’re finding yourself with enough 200+ yard approaches to need multiple options

Get an 8 wood made?

Most people have a range of yardage with various clubs.
Can you choke down on the 7 wood? Take a little less swing?
