Hi all, I'm looking for a driver and fairway wood, which I can find used, that is adjustable. More specifically, I'm looking for lie angle adjustability. I'm relatively tall (6'4"), and all of my irons are 3* upright, but my driver and 3 wood are both standard. It's not as much of an issue for the driver, but the fairway wood results in only a small contact area with the ground because the heel is in the air.I was looking at last year's STR-8 fits, but are there any other options that you can think of? Thanks in advance!

Your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same.

Ebay.  You could probably find one on the cheap.

Depends on how "cheap" you are looking for.  I was assume the TaylorMade R9 driver would be your best bet to start looking because they are the first adjustable drivers that were on the market.

Adjustable drivers only open/close the club-face and change the face angle and loft........

My 2 cents......go to a nice pro-shop where you'll find knowledgeable staff.  I'm sure you can special order a 3-wood with an upright lie angle?  Please let us know what you find out.....

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver
- Big Bertha Alpha 815 3-wood
- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs
-- Mizuno Mx-25 six iron-gap wedge
- Mizuno Mp-T4 56degree SW
- Mizuno Mp-T11 60degree SW
- Putter- Ping Cadence Ketsch

Lie angle is DIFFERENT...........Driver and 3-woods like the R11 adjust face angle and loft..........

Guys and Gals, Lie angle is a completely different spec.......

Actually, Titleist's 910 series, Nike's STR8-Fit, and Srixon's STAR Fit all adjust lie angle as well. I think the Nike line is going to be the most affordable from what I can find on ebay. I just thought you guys might have known of another, maybe lesser known, model line that I was overlooking. Thanks.

      Sanding a Golf Iron

      By iacas ·

      Yeah, uhhh… keep them dry? Because, yeah, the chrome is partly to help them not rust. You could have them re-plated, though you'd have to check on the legality. You could have them refinished by a company like this: https://www.theironfactory.com (they have closed, but there are still some other companies like them). Or, use them until they rust out a bit too much, and buy a new set.

      Good, sensical post. Kudos.

      On further reflection, I take back my "stupid" comment. It does make sense when put in context that the rule is to prevent any external attachments to the face of the club. Any change to that rule to allow exceptions would complicate the rule unnecessarily when it is easy enough to remove the stickers, etc.  I was surprised with her coaches advice and I've told her to just remove them before any competitions.
