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 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
