I am thinking about getting rid of my 585H (titleist) and getting a 3W for a couple reasons:

i don't hit the 585H well because it has a little bit of draw built into it, subsequently i draw it a lot-

I also don't find myself using it as much as i thought i would, and it doesn't get me there in 2 on long par 5s.

problem is i haven't found a 3W i like. I play 822os irons and a 905r and really like them. the 906f2 has a REAAALLY small face though and i worry about hitting it well. Is it much bigger than a 904? i can't hit that, tried. I may consider selling my hybrid soon though, pm me if you're interested. i'm thinking 85$ shipped w/headcover in very good cond.

What degree is your hybrid?

If you want to give it a shot, I have a 15* 906F2, with a stiff V2 shaft.
What's in my Mizuno Aerolite Stand bag:

I meatn I'd probably be willing to trade, but I mean you said it makes you worry if you can hit it well...so if you want to give it a try, then we can.

i don't hit the 585H well because it has a little bit of draw built into it, subsequently i draw it a lot-

That's more the shaft, then, because the 585.H is neutrally weighted with a square face.

Since you didn't say, why not list what shaft you have in the 585.H?
the 906f2 has a REAAALLY small face though and i worry about hitting it well. Is it much bigger than a 904? i can't hit that, tried.

See our reviews, too, on the 906 and 904 fairway woods.

oh ok good idea. the shaft is the 4175 S Flex. I bought it slightly used and regripped it with a lamkin black and white grip.

so you're saying its the shaft that makes it offset? can i fix it?

no, I think the characteristics of the shaft contribute to the draw you get. Not 100% on this, but if the shaft is too flexible for your swing, the face closes at impact/follow through causing the draw?

idk, in fact the more i look at it maybe i am just setting it up when i play it that way. maybe i should just open the face more. but i am still going to consider trading with arsenal for the 3W

thanks to iacas suggestion i read the review on the 906. it was very helpful. i realized that i need the 906F4 though instead of the f2. i hit the older 904 at austads and found the width to be so small that i couldn't stay in the middle. I think i would have the extra confidence i need with the 906f4. i am going to list my hybrid on the marketplace and consider trades for a 906f4. actually i wouldn't mind just having both clubs but money comes into play :(

here is the review:

http://thesandtrap.com/equipment/clu...ay_wood_review

would it be good for me to try to find a ys-6 S for my 3W since that is the shaft in my driver, or will any S shaft be good enough for me?

The clubface isn't closed OR offset on the 585.H. There's nothing to fix.

Either the shaft is not right for your game (perhaps too weak a flex) or you're not setting up square with this club for some reason. It doesn't do anything to draw or hook on its own.

    • 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.
