Any interest in a trade? I have Ping I210's in 5 - UW. My 6 & 8 iron are I200's. All in great shape. We could swap heads and I'll throw in some cash.

I am ready, will and able and a huge Sub 70 fan. I have 2 of your Hybrids and have had 2 different iron sets. Quality stuff!
Anyone completely ditched fairway woods in their bags?

Like many, I was obsessing over this until I had a realization. Watching a pro golf tournament and noticing most of them don't hit their 3 wood well. I decided to do a little test on the course. I hit 3 different clubs from 200 - 225 yards. With my driver I choked down and hit some 3 quarter type shots. Hit a 3 wood and a 2 hybrid. Did this on 9 different holes and hit 2 ith each club. The results kind of blew me away. My sawed off Driver was by far the most consistent and accurate. I could hit high cut shots or higher straight shots. On 3 different par 3's (190, 205 and 215 yds) I was on with my driver and birdied 2. I have taken the 3 wood out entirely and couldn't be happier. I kept trying to find the perfect 3 wood but realized they are super hard to hit and you use them so rarely anyway. Once I took my ego out of it, the answer came to me. My new set up is kind of weird but it has worked so well for me. I go:
Driver - Titleist TSI 3 - 8.5
2 Ping G425 hybrid - turned to 16 degrees
3 Callaway Apex UW - 19 degrees
4 New Level driving iron - 24 degrees
6-9 New Level 902 Pd irons
Pw, Uw Ping I210
54 and 58 Cleveland RTX 4
Odyssey Two Ball OG
Titlest Pro V1 Yellow
