Mine is my Fairway wood. Closest thing to a "Yip" in my game is hitting fairway woods off the deck. It's a 10% shot for me. I seem to hit the ground behind the ball and the club bounces off the turf and catches the ball avove the equator. Usually squirts down the fairway around 150. I won't even try it unless there's no trouble on the shot. No problems off the tee.

I think it's because I'm short and swing flat. My irons are 2* flat and minus and inch. Even adjustable lie fairway woods won't go that flat.

Definitely the biggest weakness in my game and costs me scoring opportunities on Par-5's.

I have a 3 hybrid that is about to go in the trash. I have a love / hate relationship with it and right now it's definite hate.

Aside from the putter, 5 wood. I just don't practice with it enough.

Usually if I have 230 + into a par 5, I'll either try to blast a 3 iron knowing I won't get there or hit a driver off the deck.

Three wood

ETA: Sorry for lying to you all. As I hate it so much, it is not currently in my bag, but rather, in my closet. Amended answer: 60 degree.

3 wood. I even got fitted for the latest iteration at Club Champion and still take it out of my bags in frustration at times.

I thin it probably 70% of the time

Today my putter sits in a corner so it can think about how bad it was.

Usually it's my wedges.

I see I'm not alone in my hate for Fairway woods.

Hardest club to make a staple in the bag, when you find a good one never get rid of it, look at a jetspeed proto fairway head on eBay for about 40-50 bucks or an M2 tour fairway, they have some pretty flat lie heads out there.

I actually just ordered a used 2015 model Callaway Big Bertha V-Series Heavenwood. It's got a modern version of the old warbird sole and 20* loft, but a 3 wood shaft length (minus 1in on the unit I ordered). Should help with turf interaction Gonna give it a spin.

I know it won't go as far as a full on 3 wood, but if i can hit it straight, in the air, and 225-230 or so, it will put me in SW range on par 5's.

I have the old Big Bertha Hawkeye Deuce. It hits like a champ off the deck or tee.
