So this is what my bag config looks like currently

G30 Stiff shaft driver 9deg upped to 10

Taylor made stage 2 3 Hybridd Stiff Shaft

RocketBallz 4-sw Steel Stiff Shaft

A 50 degree wedge

58 deg Wedge bent to 60

I am assuming what is missing is a 3 wood from the bag. I am currently looking at the Ping g30 and titeliest 913 and 915'

What would you recommend for this bag to fill the gap and what brand.

Thanks

A 4 wood is also a good choice, you get a little extra control hitting off the deck and the difference in distance doesn't require another club int the bag.

Reports in Golf Digest suggested that the average golfer can hit a 4W more reliably - and sometimes farther - than a 3W.

I am in my fourth season of using a 4W + 7W, and it works pretty well for me.

so what 4w ? what brand is easier ? Ping or titeliest in terms of forgiveness ?

For fairway woods, you need to focus on model more than manufacturer. Major OEMs often offer two or more models of FWs in a model year to appeal to different swings.

Some fairway woods are made for better golfers. One thing better golfers tend to do is generate more clubhead speed than average golfers. This means they need different clubhead design than average golfers to maximize their swing characteristics. Better golfers tend to want somewhat lower launch, average golfers somewhat higher launch.

The best thing to do is test-hit different fairway woods, see which ones work best for you.

Ping: You probably should try the G25 and G30. Of two, G25 has shallower face and might be more helpful if you have trouble getting the ball up.

Check out their FW link: http://www.ping.com/clubs/fairways.aspx

Titleist: Probably try the 915F - has higher launch than 915Fd - and is more user-friendly. Note: I rarely hit Titleist products - Any TST comments on this??

http://www.titleist.com/golf-clubs/fairways/915F.aspx

Other brands/models to consider... and a couple years old, so prices are great now:

  • TM RBZ Stage.2 3W.HL (17* loft, really good club, everyone else calls a 17* a 4W) - avoid original RBZ FWs... many found them hard to hit off the fairway!!
  • Tour Edge Exotics XRails - Here's TE link: http://www.touredge.com/products/xrailfwy.asp

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
