What is it you like about the Bobby Jones fairway woods or hybrids.

well, the hybrids have more of a traditional fw shape which I like. Both the hybrids and fairway woods have a shape that allows them to be hit off the deck with ease much like the aforementioned steelhead. I'm a traditionalist and I'm a bit put off by the standard hybrid look. I was killing the Idea Pro tonight though.

I spent a long time choosing a fairway wood a couple of months ago. I wanted something which sat nice and tight behind the ball for fairway shots. It came down to the TM R9 or the Ping G10/G15's. Not the most affordable clubs but certainly the best for me. I chose the R9 after finding a great deal on it for £99 (ex-display but never been swung).

I appreciate all of those of you who replied. Your input was helpful in my decision. As my signature indicates, I decided on the Cleveland Hibore XLS 3 & 5 woods. After spending a fair amount of time in front of the launch monitor at a local golf shop the choice was fairly easy.

I hit 50 range balls yesterday with the 3 Wood XLS and loved it, I originally planned on a Nike Sumo Sq but after the session I am going out today to demo the club again to make sure it was not a fluke.

I think they Hibore's get discounted as not being great clubs next to the Launchers, but I liked the Hibore better. I won't be able to take them to the course for several weeks, but they felt good and the numbers supported what I was trying to achieve. I hope it works out for you as well.

I'm a bit of a short hitter so my 3 wood comes out more often than most people and I've been very happy with my Nike Dymo - it replaced my Sasquatch 4 wood which I wasn't confident off the deck with. Cuts through grass very nicely, forgiving (I'm pretty decent off the deck now) and consistent.

I opted for the square one but I think I would have been perfectly happy with the regular one too - I tried both and found the square slightly more forgiving with very little negative impact.
