  1. 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
