When i hit it right, I carry my driver a good 180-200 yds, but i ALWAYS get another 30-40 yards of roll on it. (i dont get a lot of height with my driver)

And whenever i can manage to hit my 3w (actually my 18* hybrid) off the deck, its good for around 200 yds. my distances aren't that big, but i'm just a beginner. i guess im like most of the other people in this thread though and there is a good 30-40 yard differnence between my driver and 3w.

and just like stated earlier, i think its better to start learning with a driver. the sooner the better. it might not really matter on the 300-350 yard par 4's but when you get to the longer par 4's and par 5's, your gunna love being able to get the extra 30-40 yards off the tee and getting yourself in closer range of the pin so that you can use those shorter, more controlled clubs for your second/third shots, instead of long irons.
In my Datrek Cart Bag (soon to be replaced):

Driver: Lynx 2008 Predator Ti (10.5*, Regular Flex)
Woods: Walter Hagen AWS (3 Wood)
Hybrids: Walter Hagen MS2 Hybrids w/ graphite shafts (18*, 22*)Irons: Walter Hagen MS2 Irons w/ graphite shaftsWedges: 56* Taylor Made rac w/ steel shaft ; 52* Slazenger...

Driver - 275 carry

3 wood- 235 carry.

If you like the 3 wood, and never wish you had a driver. Keep it going.

If you want to improve, hit it further and maybe have more fun, go try out all the drivers, with all the shafts. Now is a great time to buy! End of season clearouts, and most places will be selling their DEMO clubs right now. Our demos usually sell for 35 percent less than what they were new.

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
