Any suggestions on a wood that is a good substitute for a driver?  I was thinking of a 2W or 4W.  I play mostly par 3 courses with little need for a driver.  Even when I play big boy golf I rarely reach for a driver using instead a 5W.

Look at tour edge exotic (TEE). I've read a couple threads on here talking about how great they are. You could also use any 3w in a 13*.

I've got a Cleveland Launcher DST 3 wood. That thing has the biggest head I've seen for a 3 wood, and a nice shaft to boot (Diamana Red).

Last summer I ditched my driver for a little while and hit this thing full time off the tee on long holes, It's like a 2 wood for me, even at 15*.

I know everyone is different and you should look at a bunch of different brands/shafts/etc. but I would like to recommend at least looking at the Burner Superfast 2.0 3w. I actually just returned from Golf Town and was testing both the 2.0 and the R11 and I must say, the 2.0 is super long. I was averaging 15-20 yrds further, on average than the R11. I was suggest trying it, with the longer shaft, it will be longer than the average 3w.

This is of course, if you like it, but I strongly recommend at least hitting it to see what your numbers are.

the new titleist 910fd is an option. larger head than the normal f, and weighted farther back in the head. It was made specifically for use off of the tee.

That is not correct. In fact, it's the opposite. The weight is not farther back, it is closer to the face in the 910fd.

But...it is a great 3 wood for the tee.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
