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.

      The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
