Fairway Recommendation Needed Please

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!
Would love to get help of some professionals here please. I am a mid handicapper, started 6 months ago and play almost daily. 
I am trying to figure up my setup for which fairway i should go with. 


I am currently up with all Tiltleist :

TSr2 Driver - 10°

??? TSr2 Fairway ????

TSi2 Hybrids
3H - 18°
4H - 21°

Irons T300s Set
5 - 23°    
6 - 26°    
7 - 29°    
8 - 33°    
9 - 38°    
PW - 43°    
GW - 48°    

Wedges Vokey SM9 10S
Sand - 54°
Lob - 60°

Putter
Scotty Cameron Newport


Any recommendations for fairway to fill the gap? They are still hard for me to work with but i practice a lot. 
Would a TSr2 4 16.5° Be the idle choice here? or the 15° 3 Fairway ?

Thanks a lot for your time!

What gap;  you haven't provided any distance numbers.  Typically people select clubs that fill distance gaps;  how far do you hit the fairways that you mentioned and the 18* hybrid?

I would go with a 16.5 fairway Irregardless of OEM.  So much easier to get up and many PGA players are either at 13.5 or 16.5 degrees.

Cobra Rad Speed 3W 14.5* Evenflow Riptide CB Stiff

Ping G  4W 17.5* Ping Alta Reg

Welcome to the forum @moonloop.  Your question/dilemma is, arguably, the most challenging one for all - professional and amateurs alike.  There have been a handful of threads (including my own) about fairway woods and, in particular, 3 woods.  For most, getting the desired gap between a 3w vs. a 5w, off the deck, is challenging.  I recently switched from my G400 3w to a TSi 3w based on fitting data.  Now, having played the TSi this past summer, I'm probably going back to the PING. While the TSi gets me a handful of yards in distance, the G400 is just more reliable off the deck. 

To be clear, many of our forum members warned me of the dreaded "what's the best 3w" quest and, as stated above, suggesting either just using the 5w or one of the "high launch" 3w/4w designs available from most of the OEM's.  Clearly these particular models are available for a reason...  the 3w was invented by the golf god's for their amusement 😆.  Good luck.

More loft will be your friend.

You will need to hit the various models and in different lofts and possibly with different hosel settings and shafts to find what works for your swing and what you are trying to achieve. 
 

If you want to eliminate all the self testing and doubt, go to a titleist fitting and let their rep fit you into what’s best based on your swing, what you are looking for and how it fits your set makeup
