I was recently given a Callaway gift card. I am considering using it to purchase a new 3 wood. I don't hit the ball very far and need to use a fairway wood for my second shot on my most par 5s (and some par 4s). I have tried the X Fairway Wood at Golf Galaxy and liked it. Not sure if I should go with the X, X hot, or FT - or use the gift certificate for something different (see my bag below). I have already upgraded my putter (Odyssey) and irons (Mizuno), so 3 wood seems like the next club - but I could be convinced of some other Callaway product.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would say you need to upgrade your wedges. Try the Callaway X Forged line.
What I Play:

Driver: Sasquatch SUMO² 9.5º Stiff
Hybrid: HiBore 16º (3W replacement)
Irons: Staff Ci6 3-PW StiffWedges: Vokey Spin Milled 54.10 60.04Putter: Newport Studio Style 35"Ball: Pro V1xAge: 15

That was my other idea - an approach wedge or a lob wedge. Does Callaway make a good wedge?

Yes. As I said, check out the X Forged wedges. Those are some nice ones.

I would check out the Big Bertha 3 wood. Price is a bit cheaper and i have heard rather good things about that club. I am thinking about purchasing one for myself sometime.

that alignment line on the crown of the BB fairways puts me off though. Much prefer the look of the X series fairways

the x is a good fairway wood and it is not as expensive. I like the trajectory and shots i fire. depending on how much your gift card, you can get both wedge and a wood.

    • 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!
    • 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.

    • 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).
