Just joined MGS and wanted to share what is currently in my bag with the community. 

I have always had my irons properly fitted right at Ping Canada head office and they are great. I have never been properly fitted for woods or wedges however.  After hitting into a simulator for the last few months, I am quickly realizing that I am getting way to much back spin on my driver and very low launch angle (3500-4000rpm, 9-10° launch angle). Really looking forward to see what improvements can be made with a proper fitting that I have booked for both woods and wedges at a local fitting facility

I show my 3 wood in the picture however I don't currently carry it in the bag as my miss was getting me in more trouble than it was worth at my previous club (transitioning to new club this season). Intrigued to see what I can possibly do with a 5-wood at my fitting.

Welcome to the Forum, and nice setup! Be sure to update the thread after the driver fitting. You're definitely right that there's plenty of room for optimization there, and it'll be great to see what you end up with and how much a difference it makes.

Welcome.  Wanted to ask if you think a 5 wood would be worth it with a 19* hybrid already in the bag? 

I suppose with the weight further back and head a bit larger, it could be a tad more forgiving with higher launch and a touch more distance, but you could also look at a 16* or 17* hybrid.  Just a thought.

Interesting... didn't think of that set up. I am getting fitted for all woods (including Hybird), I feel like getting properly fitted with a 3 wood will help with my miss. I would like to have that extra length available when needed however I lower lofted Hybrid and 5 wood would be an interesting combo for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
