Well I think it's finally time for me to get a fairway wood...

[dro]

So lately I have been trying to slide by without a fairway wood and after playing 36 holes yesterday and finding myself in multiple situations where A FW would be ideal, I have decided to buy one.

I just went into my local Play It Again Sports and found a TM r7 steel 3-wood for $80 in decent condition. I didn't think this was a bad price but I'm not sure so if it is then let me know! The only thing I am worried about with this is that it seemed to be a pretty flexible shaft (R) and I'm fairly tall at 6'2 with a pretty fast swing speed being only 19 years old (not sure the exact mph though).

Other than that I have been looking at the Burner fairway wood that just got dropped to 159$ but I think a used club would be better at this time since I've been spending alottt of money on golf equipment this summer. Can't help myself though

I really have not looked at many companies besides Taylormade. My golf 'mentor' over the past 2 years has always used TM woods and drivers so I think that's my reasoning for being drawn to them. I know there's pleny of other good companies, I like the G10 by Ping for instance.

I think I might just go to Golf Galaxy tonight and check out their used fairway woods so give me some ideas to look for as I don't want to limit myself to just TM.

Also, for a guy only carrying one fairway wood which do you recommend? I have only been thinking of a 3-wood.

One more thing, what about hybrids? I do actually have a Nike CPR hybrid but I have given up on trying to hit it accurately. Should I look at some of the Rescues? Do hybrids tend to be easier or harder to hit than woods? Give me the pros and cons.

Sorry for a long post but I'm at work and am extremely bored right now

Hybrids are fabulous to me. It is a different animal alltogether. As for the fairway wood. Stop at a golf store and hit a few. See which one you like the best.
