I use the original Orlimar TriMetals. Best fairway woods ever made. There are a lot of exotic choices out there, but I've found nothing better.

I use a TaylorMade R580 3 wood with a Grafalloy Blue Stiff Shaft.

Wedges: MP-R Black-Ni 52, 56, & 60
Putter: Studio Select Newport 2Ball: ProV1/ProV1xGrips: Winn Xi7


I have a 906F2 and absolutely love it off the tee. However, it is a bit tough to hit off the deck due to the deep face.

Monster Tour 10.5* w/ Redboard 63
FP400f 14.5* w/ GD YSQ

I use a macgreger 5 wood. I hit it beautifully. Love the club. When it comes to 3 woods though i hit low snap hooks, then ill cut one, then ill hit one fat and so on lol. Hence i have taken it out of the bag and i just hit 5 wood

Whats in my bag:

Burner HT 13* Reax Regular Shaft
R7 19* Reax Regular Shaft

I'm not using any fairwaywoods currently.
I'm looking for a 3-wood. My 3-hybrid equals a 5-wood and a 3-iron (hybrid easier from the fairway and 3-iron easier for the tee, I guess). I don't really know yet which one and I want to get fitted in the US, when I'm there for holiday in two weeks (live in the Netherlands, where prices are outrageous).
In the bag:

MDGolf BlackHawk 3 wood. One of the most under rated clubs and manufacturers out. Great club off the tee or from the fairway. Iusually only tend to use it of the tee. Anything from the fairway i'll use irons or my maxfli 20* hybrid.

I use both the 3 and 5 new Burner fairway woods. Here is what I noticed hitting of the ground....they really go a long way and they really do an amazing job of in flight corrections off of toe hits etc. ....I couldn't believe how long and straight some of shots were with such poor ball striking ....I had to look twice ... it was a little like the 'twilight zone' .

I bought the Titleist 906F4 15.5 degree 3 wood and Titleist 585.H 19 degree rescue about two months ago and they are sick! They kick ass and everytime I use them they set up with confidence.

I'm new to the game, so I'm not sure why, but I do better with the Louisville Golf Niblick 4 that I have than with others I've tried. I like persimmon and hope to get more as I improve.

I personally hate the shallow faced fairway woods of today. I play TaylorMade fairway woods presently. The ones in my bag are the older versions, the Ti Bubble 2 woods. I have the 2007 Burner 3 wood but honestly shot for shot there is no difference in it and the Ti Bubble 2 so I don't carry the newer one.

Bag: Titleist
Driver: TM RBZ 9.5
Fairway metals: TM RBZ 3 wood
Hybrids: TM RBZ 3, 4 and 5
Irons: TM Burner 1.0 6 thru LW stiff steel shafts
Putter: Ping B60
Ball: TM Tour Preferred X or ProV1x

I've been looking at the Cleveland Hibore and the Callaway X. Has anyone had the pleasure of using both these clubs?

What's in my Warbird bag

Wood: Cobra Speed LD (5 Wood)
Hybrid: Burner Rescue (5H)Irons: Slingshot 4D 4-GW Wedge: CG14 (50 degree, 60 degree)Putter: Monza Corza Ball: Tour i


I will have to go with Titleist. I like the workability of the wood. I used to play Callaway and I like the overall makeup of the Titleist better and find it easier to hit.

I went to my local store to try out some fairwaywoods last night and I hit the TM R7 CGB.. and WOW every ball i hit into the net was dead nuts. If the price wasn't so high i would have def picked up this club last night.

I will agree with you there. I do perfer the old woods over today's new shallow woods.

I love my Taylor Made r7 with graphite shaft. I can hit it high or low, draw or fade it.

I think you can't go wrong with Taylor Made & Callaway but lots more to choose from.

    • Got it - so you pick your favorite and then Jayson picks his favorite of those remaining and then Tyson goes twice, then Jayson and finally you? Or something like that anyway Are you doing a weekly release schedule?
    • This weather is curing my winter depression rapidly. “Dugnad” today. A Norwegian word for community or voluntary work. Many clubs has one in spring and one in autumn where everyone is invited to help with various tasks on the course to prepare it for the season or winter. Lots of trees and branches were cleared today. Opening in March is not unlikely at this rate. 15 C and sunny could be mid summer.
    • It’s a start and it’s enough to keep me motivated while I work on consistency, my short game, putting, and correcting my slice. Thanks. Sound advice - I like it. I went ahead and bought a couple spiffy newer Callaway woods on eBay to try out so I won’t have a mixed bag, but I’ve been thinking the same thing and I won’t be letting go of my old Taylormades any time soon.
