What's your miss? Are you always missing to one spot or are your misses erratic?

I use a Nike STR8 Fit 9.5 degree driver and I love it. Depending on how I've been playing, I can adjust the angle and play for a draw or a fade (not mid round, of course) good distance, also. I've got the Project X 6.5 stiff in it. I get about 290-320 out of it.

Didn't say you'd like it, said you'd hit it farther.

Get crazy

Bringing the club inside is fine as long as you can control the clubface angle at impact. If you swing in-out and have the clubface closed relative to the swing path at impact, you'll hit a push-draw, which is a very useful flight path. http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/ball_flight_laws

Play barefoot.

Sell your driver and buy Rocketballz. Guarantee your 3wood wont outhit your driver then.

There is one near my area on the 18th of February, and I was curious of this as well. Thanks for posting for me!

The problem with cutting it down is that it makes the shaft stiffer...so if he's already hitting it off to the right, assuming he's a right handed golfer, he's going to have to get more clubhead speed to keep the clubface square.

During a typical round, if you're faced with either a tee shot or a fairway shot where you can either go over the water and cut the distance or lay up and ensure you're staying dry, which do you choose?

I'm interested to see your results. You must be scooping it on the wedges, but thats still a crazy amount of loss.

If you're hitting it more on the downswing with your arms ahead at impact, that will make the top of the club lead the bottom of the club and make it so you're hitting with the upper portion of the clubface first. Is it a lower trajectory ball flight?

When was there ever only one ball flight?

I picked up my Callaway 3hybrid 2 years ago on their outlet site for $60. 20*, stiff shaft...it works perfectly off the tee or off the deck. It's got a great trajectory, it looks good when I'm standing over it and I can hit it relatively well. Have to love the hybrids.

Why did I get the wrong 3hybrid? The yardages for the 3wood and 3hybrid were off the deck/off the tee yardages. So if I hit my 3hybrid 230 off the deck and my 3wood 250, that's a pretty good yardage gap...

Exactly, get a shaft with a higher kick point to lower the trajectory if you feel you're hitting it too high, or play it farther back in your stance/move your hands ahead.

How are you losing 30 yards off your driver and 40 yards off your wedges? That's the biggest confusion for me...

It doesn't matter how it sounds, it how it looks and if it's flying the way you want it to. If you want a higher trajectory with less roll on the end, good work. If you're losing that much distance, that seems to be a MAJOR con.

I was thinking more of different trajectory types. My driver is my 285-305 club, my 3w is around 250-270, my 3h is around 230-250. So I was thinking of something that's around 240-260, but maybe with a higher trajectory, since my 3wood/3 hybrid both have a lower, boring ball flight. So that way, depending on if I'm trying to roll something up somewhere or get it to a spot with minimal roll, I can pull either club.

You should have some distance change between your 3wood and your driver, otherwise there wouldn't be a point of having them. Since they are different degrees of loft, you're either delofting your 3wood to make it closer to the drivers loft, or you're playing the ball too far forward in your stance with your driver and adding loft.

So, no one has any ideas for drills or games to play to work on short game or putting?

What's the most efficient way to teach yourself to get spin on your wedges? I understand that with time you would learn to do this naturally, but I'm wondering how to accelerate this process, and once you get it down, how to adjust the amount of spin that you put on the ball.

What is the mechanical difference between the 3 types of grips being discussed (baseball, overlap, interlock)? I understand it's preference, but there has to be a pro and con to each one depending on your golf game. For example, I've heard before the people that hook use interlock because it's harder to get their hands through and doesn't let them hook as easily...
