Hi mates. I have a problem here. I recently bought the Titleist 585.H 17° and what an awesome club. But the facts are this...

I'm hitting longer the hybrid than the 3 wood. So I was wondering:

1.-Try the 906F4. I don't know but I really feel the difference between the Callaway and Titleist.

2.- Do I really need a 3 wood?

What would you say?

Regards.

i have a 17* hybrid and i dont carry a 3 wood, nor do i need one. the hybrid is more then enough club and so i dont carry a 3 wood anymore.

I had the same problem when i FIRST bought my 585. But after a while, I started to hit my 3 wood better and it started to go longer?
Maybe the same will happen to you?
Maybe try a graphite shaft in your 3 wood, or a 15* loft on it.

Yes mate, that's I was thinking, I would try the Titleist but the 15° and a graphite shaft maybe that would change things.

with a 13 handicap (not that i am any better) you should be playing a 15 deegree 3 wod with a graphite shaft alos a forgiving head would help to. the 3 wood that is currently on your signature has the specs that most of the callaways tour pros are probably playing. good luck on your search for the perfect club.

I would say you don't need the 3 wood. A lot of players can't hit a 3 wood any straighter than their driver anyway, so it's redundant in many bags. Stick to the hybrid on tighter fairways and ditch the 3 wood.

I recently ditched my 3 wood (okay, I broke the head off it). To replace it I got a 15* Ping G10 hybrid and it is much straighter and goes virtually the same distance.

No problem, althought you probably don't need a titleist fairway, as the X tour is a great club, just you need a graphite shaft in it.

I play a wilson staff 3 wood, but I didn't have a fairway wood for a while and just used my hybrid, but eventually decided that I needed the extra length and height that the 3 wood offered me! Good luck choosing, tell us what your final decision is mate!

I know I could use the X Tour, but I want to try the 15° with the graphite shaft and I will see what works for me hehe.

Thanks for your advices mate! Regards!

Well, if you've got the money, you may as well, and by looking at your Sig, it looks as if you do!

      Day 3 (11 Mar 26) - midweek round with friends.  Good session with an 83 (38 / 45).  Got some great up and down pars (6 of 9) with a total 27 putts.  Made for a relaxed round.

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.
