It's been a while but this is in time for the new season...

If you have that much trouble hitting your fairway woods you shouldn't even be thinking of hitting a 5-wood off the deck anyway. How often are you actually gaining from that decision? Let's say you're 250 yards out... well you might as well just plan for a couple mid-irons into the green. If your 5-wood is a slice machine do you think you're not better off over a large sample size pulling you 150 yard club and then a pitching wedge in?

Additional advice: if you're going to start swapping out longer clubs with hybrids then consider replacing your 4/5 irons. You cannot replace your 3-wood with one. You can get a hybrid with similar loft but you'll never get as much distance as with an equally lofted wood. Don't take that as saying you NEED a 3-wood either. That thing probably shouldn't be in your bag either given how you describe your adventures with it.

I've improved with my 3 wood a bit. It's still not a go to club, but I've made some nice shots with it. I'm still pretty new at the game, so I'm pretty happy with the progress there, even if I'm still quite inconsistent with it. My next golf purchase will certainly be lessons, probably sometime this month.

When I play, I'm "Iron Man". It's all irons (1 through 9, pitching wedge, lob wedge, sand wedge, driving iron & putter).

Re: What's In Your Bag..

Hey guys - first post in this forum. Just wanted to make aware that there is a very poweful golf swing developed by Martin Ayers, and supported by pro Steve Elkington and internet senstaion Sevam1 (Mike Maves).

If you've ever seen Martin on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/user/martinez19696

you will agree that the information he provides is top notch. So he has developed a video (instant download) for $35. I bought it two days ago and results are pretty incredible.

I'm not going to post the website link because knowing OS, they will think I'm pimping a site or whatever. Just google, Martin Ayers, most powerful swing

something like that.

It's radical thinking - and not close to traditional swings - but it has worked for me so far - just thought I'd share.

Driver/Woods: None-Shopping for new.... Will get some during holidays.
I have a MAXFLI 5W that I hit great even though it's not "State of the art"...lol
But how I hit it > Coolness

Still undecided about about driver... Keep going back and forth with TM and Callaway. I think I'll carry 2 drivers (9 deg and 10.5-11) instead of a 3W as I rarely use 3W but use 5W a good amount. Just need to decide which.
Not buying new so I'm just browsing a bit online.

Went to range today, and man after the winter my swing went to hell. But I want to get my short game to improve this year. If I could putt at all I could shave a ton of strokes off my score. I swear I'm the worst putter of all time. But I can't wait to get back on a course
