i play at a course in uk and we have a 75 degree dogleg right and the 2nd part is uphill however the corner right side is deep trees and the carry over the corner is approx 260 with only about 20 yds of fairway then trees again far side of that fairway ...if wind is against and you dont quite make past the corner driver off the deck is ideal....I am off 8 so by no means PRO at all but I have hit driver off the deck for last 10 years and will use it often....fact is you have to realise it is going to cut....very very difficult to get it to draw...but on the occasion you need a long shot with cut driver is ideal..plus lots of roll...my average drive is not long at all prob only 270 but i have got it on in 2 for this par 5 and its 280+ uphill so the roll is a massive factor..just dont hit down or you will chunk it...sweep it inside left heel ( for righties) but yes essentially you are hitting a massive top....but the faces on drivers have so much more spring than a 3 wood ..plus its harder to cust a 3 wood as more loft..
My drivers a cobra bio cell cranked at 9.5 neutral....
give it a try after all what can possibly go wrong.....lots
