V-Steel or Utility?

[i2!ch]

Hi
I've been lookin around lately for new woods and I'm stuck with a tough decision. I have to choose between a TaylorMade V-steel and utility club but I can't make up my mind. I've tried them out and I like both of them but I can't choose between the two to replace my old crappy woods that I won't bother to identify.

I like the wide look and feel of the V-steel as opposed to the small head of the utility club but the V-steel is a bit harder to hit. I'm leaning towards the V-Steel because someone's willing to sell it to me in good condition for around 50-60 dollars because he prefers his utility clubs and, likewise, i am also interested in what's best for my game. My instructor even switched to utility clubs so I'm stuck in this dilemma.

More about me: I practice a LOT- i played at the course like 4 times this past 5 days and I go to the range almost every day I'm not at the course. If I do get the V-steel, I can really work on it if i have to especially since I have all summer

A utility club typically replaces the long irons (4, 3, and 2). So my question for you is: are you looking for a 3W? Cuz My set is pretty typical these days: driver, 3W, hybrid, 3-9I, PW, SW, LW, putter. I have both a hybrid/utility and a 3-wood.

What do you envision your bag setup as being once you acquire this one club? Driver, 3W or hybrid, 3-wedges, putter?

Yea i'm looking to replace my 3W and 5W or just 3W if not both
my teacher replaced his woods with Akira hybrids and my friend is looking to get rid of his V-steels because he's happy with his hyrbids.
i think i didn't consider distance when i posted this which isn't good
maybe I should go for your kind of setup iacas, 3 wood and hybrid

anyway, i'm going to the range later tonite to test them out some more
i'll keep in mind how far i'm hitting them

Replace the 3 wood with the regular V-steel 3 wood. and replace your 5 wood with the utlility club. The utility club comes in handy a lot! I have a Rescue Mid and I love it! If I miss the Fairway on a Par 5 and I cant get there anyway I just hit the Rescue Mid. Its head gets through the rough better and it keeps it in the fairway for a nice wedge set up into the green.

yea i think that's the setup i'm gonna go for

thanks for the advice guys
