Hi guys,


Yesterday I went looking for a 3 wood to Sports Authority. I went to the discount bins and saw a Tommy armour silver scott #2 wood, 12 degrees grafalloy shaft. I have been having some trouble with my driver so I bought it to use it off the tee, maybe I will hit it farther than my driver.

I finally got an Adams tight lies 3 wood, the Tommy armour 2 wood and a 3 iron for $29... sweet deal.


So anyone use a 2 wood for the tee? As a driver replacement? off the deck?

Ive never heard of a 2 wood until just now. The club seems like such a "one trick pony" that it would be hard for me to justify using one. Id bet it would be a good driver option for senior players, though.

2 wood was a very popular club 40 years ago. Went the way of the 4 wood, although Tour Edge still makes a 4 wood. I think the 3 wood coming in 13, 14, 15 and 15.5 lofts and drivers coming in lofts from 4 to 16 degrees is the reason. We still have 2 woods and 4 woods they just call them drivers or three woods, respectively.

Yep,


I bought it as a 12 degree driver basically, to compare trajectory with my 9.5.

But at $9 even as a novelty club it is worth it!

Yep,

I would just look at it as a 12* driver. there are plenty of them available from all of the big boys.

The 2 wood was a good alternative when they were indeed wood.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
