tony@CIC Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 As background, I had a problem hitting my fairway wood a few years ago. At the time I had a 36 index and so frustrated I ended up selling it. Today I'm shooting at a low 20 index and have broken 90 but find I still need the distance on those long par 5's. So I'm going to take another run at a 3/4 wood. So what would be the preferred approach: 1. Go for a dynamic fitting, buy the club and take a lesson or two. 2. Buy a used 3 wood, take a lesson, then go for a dynamic fitting and buy the 3 wood based on the fitting. Any other choices?

GolfSpy_APH Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Never hurts to get fit for one. I have found that finding the right fairway for you makes a huge difference. I went through a wide range of fairways before I found "the one" and now it's one of my favorite clubs in my bag. I did not get fit for this, however had a really good feeling it would be more suitable for me. What about fairways do you struggle with? as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

Mr. 82 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm not really sure you are approaching this from the right angle. Instead of thinking you need a specific club why not figure out the best way to get your index down with clubs that work for your game, as it is right now. I'll give you my training approach for any new golfer, which is how my Dad taught me to play golf at 7 years old. He handed me a 7 iron, and told me to hit it. Then hit it again, and again, and again, until I got good enough hitting just the 7 iron. Then he slowly introduced a few other clubs to me until I had about a 10 club set that I played with a for a few years, before getting a full set sometime around the time I entered high school. I see it over and over again, where these young kids are handed a full set of golf clubs as beginners, and all the kids want to do is pull driver and grip it and rip it. And then they wonder why they can't hit an iron or wedge, and their golf game consists of random blasts off of the tee with no accuracy, and a collection of chunks, duffs, and bladed iron shots that have no consistency or pattern. My point to all of this is that I think if you want to get down into an index in the teens you'll start pulling more clubs OUT of your bag, rather than trying to put another one in it. The more you hit 5 or 6 clubs really good, the more your confidence will grow, and eventually you'll get to the point where it makes sense to start adding more clubs. And I say all of this to you as a 6 handicap, where I was actually scoring better with 6 clubs in my bag the past few months, versus with my whole 14 club set. Simplicity with less clubs I think is what I would recommend for you. That and having a few lessons with a local pro would be my advice to you.

I bet I could beat any of my buddies on "long par 5's" hitting just a 7 iron on that hole, versus whatever clubs my buddies hit to hole out with. And that includes chipping and putting. Three well struck 7 irons into a par 5 are always going to be better than a drive in the trees, a punch out across the fairway into the rough, and then a wedge into the trap or water.

Mr_Theoo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’m also in the 20s handicap range so I will ask why do you think you need a 3w for the par 5s? I know your main objective would be able to put yourself in position to score but have you thought bout a 2i or hybrid?

Kenny B Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Tony and I are old. I'm guessing here, but we probably have similar swing speeds. I am not hitting a fairway wood into a par 5 in two shots; maybe Tony is, but I need a club that I can hit far enough on my second shot so I can have a short iron rather than a hybrid for my third shot into a par 5. I've tried fairways woods for years. I don't generate enough speed to flight a fairway wood high enough to get the distance I need to advance the ball close enough to the green for a short third shot. Plus, I find them easy to mishit quite often. So, I gave up on them. Tony, if you have good luck with hybrids, I recommend you try out a few 17º 2H clubs. For me the distance is the same as a good FW shot and the trajectory is much higher. which means more useful. Check out several brands; they all fly different. If you were fit for your other clubs, you shouldn't need another fitting. Get the one that works the best.

Kenny you nailed it as SOP for you-- When we get older we lose swing speed- About 4 years or so ago I had to ditch my beloved Callaway Steelhead 13* 3 wood because basically I could not elevate it anymore. Searched for a suitable replacement for a while. Finally found a Adams Super S 16* that I hit good. I also had carried a V-Steel 18* 5 wood which I hit good too. I also revamped my game as far as Par 5s are concerned. Most of the time now I play position golf with the second and let the wedge and putter do the work for hopefully the birdie. I had to deal with the fact that those days of hitting a Par 5 in 2 from 220 or so were basically over for me.

My dad is still a decent player at age 78 (15 handicap or so) and fought this issue for several seasons before finally just getting a 5 wood he liked and forgetting about the lower lofted 3 or 4 wood. He couldn't generate enough speed to keep it in the air with that little loft. The 5 wood flies higher and goes a little further for him.

NiftyNiblick Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I liked well-lofted fairway woods when even I was a young player. Sometimes I'd hit a horrific hook, but for the most part, the fairway wood shot is hard to screw up unless you have a downhill lie. Miss a fairway long iron even a little bit and it goes nowhere.

What kind of distances are you looking for and what distance do you want to have hitting into the greens? There are different approaches to playing golf and based on strokes gained approach you should try to hit the ball as far as possible every time. Others play holes more "safely" as Gswag described. Based on the hole you describe, what happens if you lay up short of those bunkers and then rely on the short game to score; not a lot of birdies, but if you are avoiding bogey or worse it may be the smart play. I would suggest fitting to see if fairway wood or low lofted hybrid would work best for you.

Your thoughts on the preferred approach Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpyOption 3: find a 3wood (don’t buy) to use for lessons after which you get fit and then you’ll have a 3-wood you know how to hit and was fitted to your swing. Fitting will be based on how you hit at that time so it isn’t in your best interest to buy then have a pro steer you off what that club was made for. I promise you’ll get so much more out of this if you get even the minimum amount of pro help on how to swing it before you do the fitting.

GolfSpy BOS Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Is there another option?Go for a 5-wood instead. I had purchased a g30 driver and 3 wood and went to a fitting about a year later. My fitter worked with those clubs I had and recommended I upgrade to the Ping tour shaft as a cost effective, but needed upgrade for my swing. He also gave me some great advice. I rarely hit the 3 wood and as a result I wasn’t consistent with it. He advised I sell that one and buy a g30 5 wood also with the tour shaft, but the heavier one (tour 80). He said you might loose a few yards but you’ll gain height and consistency with the shorter shaft and little extra loft. Almost 4 years later he was right about one thing, I gained a lot of consistency with that club, but I didn’t lose any yards. I use the 5 wood off the tee if I can’t swing the driver to safety. That spot in my bag has become much more of a weapon than a liability. It’s the one club I feel like I can work left or right on a tight fairway more than any other. TLDR; swing a few 5-woods too and see if you gain anything by hitting them, I certainly did!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlH Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I would 2nd a 5 wood. Much easier to hit off the deck and you don't lose that much yardage over a 3 wood.

The fitter is a highly regarded independent shop on the east side of Cleveland. As an FYI, I'm getting a full bag fitting however, in terms of club replacement I'll be focused on woods and hybrids. My Irons are working pretty well along with my wedges so while there may be some tweaking I don.t expect much change there.

Smellis745 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 As has been stated many times, work on your swing first. I've always been in the boat that I'll never achieve the perfect swing, but I can achieve something that is repeatable and consistent. Consistency is what makes a good fitting worth the money. If your swing changes day to day as you're chasing one thing from another, the fitting will be useless.
