re: Golf board: what do you have in the bag between 3 iron and 3 wood?

This, and I don't carry a 3 iron.

Callaway X Hot 5 wood

No 3 wood.

4 Wood (Tour Edge Exotics with Fujikura Speeder 757) Gets me about 215-220 carry with rollout about 220-230 on well struck shots.
5 wood (Tour Edge Exotics with Rifle flighted 6.0 soft stepped to 5.5) About 200-205 carry for me. Not much rollout just 2-3 yards.

I'd say my distance for my 3 wood is about 240 and my 3 iron about 220

If I were you I would try and consolidate those 2 clubs into 1. I only carry a Driver, Driving Iron or 5 Wood and 3 iron. I like it because it allows me an extra wedge and helps to eliminate the internal debate on the tee box. I can hit the DI or 5W 230ish. If the hole is tight enough to consider not hitting driver, I want to be damn sure I put it in the fairway and not get tempted to try and cheat out an extra 15-20 yards with a 3W.

When i could still play. Nothing, I rarely find that distance common enough to warrant it's own club. Closest thing I have would be a 7 wood, but I use it for any distance between 185-225, and just adjusted my swing speed accordingly. I could play 95% of my game with 5 clubs. Driver, 3 wood, 7 wood, pitching wedge, and putter.

I'm thinking about going to a driving range soon. I haven't played since my shoulder surgery 3 years ago. Swinging still makes me nervous.
