I'm hoping to pick up a fairway wood to hit off the tee. I never really use my current FW wood because my driver is actually way easier to hit.

I would love to pick up a FW wood for tee shots, maybe a 4 or 5 wood. A larger head and face is preferable. I just want something forgiving that will put me out there and in play. I don't care about working the ball.

Suggestions?

Perhaps a 13.5 degree 906F4? mine worked great off the tee, i just didnt really need a tee club, as i hit my driver just fine, was very forgiving, and looked classy.

I would suggest the burner woods...the head is generally larger than the competitors...but I would say the face isn't much larger. It's great off the tee and off the deck, and very forgiving. Definitely one of the best purchases I have made.

Why not try the Ping G10? I use the 3W 15.5 degree off the tee. Its a good back-up for your driver on the short par 4s.

Big Bertha 3 wood. It's about the size that the old drivers were, seems easier to hit off the turf or Tee than others (at least for me).

Burner 9.5

+1: I use a 3 and 5 and agree with the above.

The Callaway X and Cleveland HiBore XLS have extremely large face areas. The Clevland comes in a 13* loft which may be a good alternative to use off the tee.

i had the tour edge exotics cb2 3 wood for a while and it was great off the tee. although not well known, tour edge exotics clubs have amazingly hot faces. i couldnt hit it off the deck, so i returned it, but if youre looking for one that has a large face and head and is long and straight off the tee, check out the exotics line. they will cost you though, most start at 350.

    • Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.
    • Day 300 (!): did a stack session. 
    • Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.
    • but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
