4i, 4H or Crossover

[cnl390]

I am in the market for another club in 3i-4i range and was thinking of going with a 4H or Ping Crossover.  I am a 33 handicap, mid 80's swing speed, and have never been able to (or have had a mental block) hit a fairway wood very well.  My shots with a 3 & 4i are 50% good and 50% not so good.

What do you all think?

At your level, get a 4h.  Much easier to hit.

A Ping 4Crossover would be 21* and 39.13" long.

Your G25 4i is 23* and 38.75" long (with your extension).

A Crossover is designed for someone who strikes the ball quite a bit better than you or me.

The 4H would be a good option. Or, you might consider having your 4i softstepped (put a shaft cut for 3i in it, which would increase the flexible portion of the shaft and help get the ball launched better.)

=================

On the 3W - I've probably mentioned this before - see if you can find a 4W (or even a 5W). One of our local pros dumped his 3W in favor of a 5W: he says it only goes about 15 yards shorter, and is a lot more reliable. A little extra loft on the FWs can really help out.

Being you're a Ping guy, see if anyone has an old K15 3W in the used club bin. This had a loft of 16* and a high launch shaft, and might be something you would like.

I was just at Golfsmith buying a new glove, so I hit a 3 & a crossover.  I hit the 3h much better.  And liked the feel better as well
