I am a high handicap looking for a fairway wood to hit off of the tee. Looking for a 3 or 4 wood. I went to hit the woods and a driver but the monitor quit working after 5 swings with the driver. The swing speed was 94.2 to 94.8 MPH. I did hit a few woods and liked the looks of the callaway the best but I have no numbers to see what I will work the best for me. I was looking for something easy to hit and would like to know what you would suggest.

T4m,

i was doing the same thing saturday, looking for a new 3 wood... and stopped into a Golf Galaxy and tested out the Xhot, Rocketballz, and the nike covert....     I hit the X-hot the farthest, but i have a problem with the Fade lol....   So the guy who was helping me out suggested a adjustable head, which i was going to suggest anyways, and he brought me the Cobra Amp..

after using the Cobra Amp, i ended up buying it,,, along with a matching Driver..

And today after getting off work i headed right to the driving range to try out my two new toys :)

And was pleasantly surprised and how straight i was hitting the ball..   yes i did have both the 3wood and driver head adjusted to close....   But I was hitting the ball a lot straighter than i was with my old Xcg3, and old 3wood...

I too was a guy who basically was looking for a 3wood to hit off the tee's since i at using my driver.  But after today, i feel like i could use my new driver with no issue....  I even went from a stiff shaft in the Xcg3, to a Regular flex in the Amp..

I will say this wasnt just a fluke of me hitting 5 good balls, this was hitting a good full bucket of balls with the 3wood + driver....

It is what it is

If you are just considering these two clubs, I would suggest the X Hot vs. the RFE.  The Xhot is a larger head, 460cc vs 440cc (unless you get the RFE 13.5 loft which is 460cc) is more forgiving and easier to hit for those of us with a higher handicap.

Even good players have issues with the RFE. Higher caps should probably avoid it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
