Okay. Well i've used my driver a lot. Around 14 holes in a round. But one day my drives were going straight down the pipe 250+. The next Monday I went to the range. I hit my driver for a while and they were bombs, but i was hitting huge draws (that I didn't want). I used my friends driver for a couple of hits because he said he couldn't hit it that well. It's probably 420cc or less but I was hitting it 220+. After I hit some of those balls, I was very surprised and started to hit my 3 wood. On the first hit it went 230+. So when I went to the course I used 3 wood instead of driver, and I was hitting more fairways, and some drives were even longer.
So now this is the question. I was wondering if I was to buy a driver or 3 wood, and if I should buy a 420cc driver or less or a nice 3 wood instead. And if you could list some recommended drivers and 3 woods.

It would be helpful to know what your driver is, not so much in terms of make or head size as in terms of degrees of loft.
My Implements of Destruction (carried in a Hoofer Lite bag):

DRIVER: Big Bertha Diablo 10 degree draw, Aldila regular flex
FAIRWAY WOODS: G2 14 degree 3 wood & 17 degree 5 wood
IRONS: S59 3-PWWEDGES: M/B 54, 58, & 60 degree PUTTER: I Series Anser 4 (or G5i Anser, Anser 2F, or original...

And why would you want to buy another driver?

Maybe because it's not that great.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
