More on the 4 iron :) some par 3s too I tend to hook the 4 iron off a tee .

Kurt , you are like most of us ! I would rather carry a 5 wood than a 3 wood. I can hit a 3 wood 220-230 about 50% of the time the 5 wood I can hit it safe 75% of the time my distance is more erratic 190-225 it mostly depends on where in my stance I put the ball if I have 200 yards to clear water I might put the ball a half to an inch further back . What that does in effect is lower the loft . 5 woods and hybrids are more forgiving due to the higher lofts . I have to have the ball just right and concentrate on a sweeping smooth swing to hit the 3. I carry a driver ,3-4 hy 4-lw ill rotate the 3 and 5 woods depending on the course . I use the 4 iron strictly for a trouble club .

Team , All u need is a driver and a 3 & 4 hy. And 5-lw . I wrote a post to you a minute ago ,and it may explain why you have trouble with fairway woods . You are trying you hit them like irons , maybe chopping down on them . Fairway woods you use a sweeping type of swing . Distance does you no good at all if the result is anything but fairways and greens . I play with a guy that has driver then 5 iron through lob wedges . I thought he was nuts . But he is always in the fairways , sure it takes him 3 sometimes 4 shots to reach greens but he's also good enough that most of the time he has very make able putts . And most often posts rounds in the high 70s .. Hope all this helps .

Team , I have a couple of observations that may help you . To answer the question u asked about grips I would take the advice several gave by trying one- two clubs and see how it feels . You hit the nail on the head by noticing you have and outside to in swing . Lee Trevino made the hall of fame with a swing like that . One thing ill bet you do not do is let your hands roll naturally through the ball . What I mean basically is to hold the club out in front of you like a base ball bat and swing , notice what your hands do . For right handlers the right hand should roll over and finish on top of the left hand . That is true in golf as well . Just practice the baseball swing and gradually move the club (arc of the swing) down to the ball , the swing should not change . Observation no 2 if you change to a strong ( motorcycle grip ) you will find doing the "baseball " swing much more difficult. Simple grip is to literally clap your hands together with the shaft in between. Or as I call it shake hands with the club ,left then right . The grip you should have now let's the wrists move freely . Now it's a matter of timing Good luck , hang in there you will fix the slice and notice a draw once in awhile .

Golfrguy, yes Scotty's custom shop can do some cool things . Someone got a good deal on that putter , I would say that the work was not done by Scotty's shop . There are several places that refinish and customize putters and sell them on eBay . Furthermore you can buy all the components u see on that putter on eBay and put them on your self. That particular club would be one I would have refinished at Scotty's shop . I have several SC. Putters I have paint filled and bought components and put them on myself , and just a couple I sent to scotty .
