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 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.

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).

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 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 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.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
