I mean, do you want better scores, or do you want to discuss equipment you can't hit with your friends?

You've got to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run.

Well noted with thanks.

What about Mizuno F60 4wood 16.4* regular shaft? I found a couple of them on eBay in good condition for less than $50. I also particularly interested in 4-wood Ping G10/G15/G20 and Nike SQ at about the same price range. Are they easier to hit than Titleist or Taylormade?

Nike SQ. Easiest 3 wood I've hit. Not the longest though.

Well noted with thanks. Personally, I like the TM super fast or the R11 Ti You can probably find both on eBay If you like the R11Ti, I would suggest the 5 wood What about Mizuno F60 4wood 16.4* regular shaft? I found a couple of them on eBay in good condition for less than $50. I also particularly interested in 4-wood Ping G10/G15/G20 and Nike SQ at about the same price range.

Lots of decent choices. The Ping G series (I currently play G15 4 wood) is a solid choice. Plent of forgiveness and good performance distance wise.

Sound advice.

When I started out I couldn't hit my driver worth squat so I bought a cheap Dunlop 5-wood I found at Walmart. I can't remember what model it was but it had a large head and looked like a driver so I thought that was cool. As it turns out I hit the stew out of that club. I would up giving it to a friend after I upgraded to a Cleveland QuadPro Dual Rail 16°. My friend liked that old 5-wood so much we nicknamed him Garry Fivewood. The point being: you may fare better with a higher lofted club as it may be easier to hit thus ensuring more shots in the short grass. I think most golfers would exchange accuracy for distance any day of the week. Even now I carry just one fairway wood, The Ping G20 4-wood(16.5°). I use the G20 off the tee sometimes too. My Driver is consistent, Adams Titanium Tight Lies High Launch Max COR, but on narrow holes or shorter par 4s it makes more sense to use the 4-wood.

Just traded TM RBZ Tour Spoon for a Callaway X Hot 3 Stiff shaft and it is an amazing club. In my opinion it is much more forgiving than the TM RBZ spoon and I can hit it as far my driver, only straighter.

Cobra S3 Max 5 Wood how far hit from the fairway?
