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.

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.

      It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.

      It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.

      Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
