Is a forgiving driver more forgiving than a forgiving 3 wood off the tee if you are more interested in forgiveness than distance?

So I snipped a half inch off the SL290 and put a longer VDR grip on so I can choke down further and it has made a difference in control. They said it was ok to trim a half inch off the butt, add a little grip tape and go from there. Seems to work better and havent hit any sprayers yet.

Nice that it worked. Keep us posted on further results too!

I have to say im not a huge fan of my 3 wood, its not great so ive dropped it from my bag seeing as im better with my 5w. I have recently got the knack of hitting driver nad i have to say it feels great!!

Normally hit a 10.5 degree Ping G5 and its a nice old driver, however the other week i grabbed my first driver which is a John Letters Trilogy 15deg 460cc driver and for the first time in my life i was able to use the phrase "i bombed it".

Obviously it must have worked due to a) my new swing working , b) loft of a 3w and c) big head.

Im now stuck as to what to put in the bag the G5 or a Younger, but non brand driver.........ego vs results?

In the bag: Driver: Ping G5 , Woods:Dunlop NZ9, 4 Hybrid: Tayormade Burner, 4-SW: Hippo Beast Bi-Metal , Wedges: Wilson 1200, Putter: Cleveland Smartsquare Blade, Ball: AD333

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      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.
