Is anyone still playing multiple fairway woods

[HoosierHacker89]

So for years and years now ive been a D, 4w, 3h, 4-P, 52, 58, Putter guy. I have recently been thinking of going back to a more traditional wood set up. I am thinking of busting out a 3 and 5 wood both for play. I have an 07 burner tp 5 wood and i just picked up an x hot 3 wood for a song. I am thinking off the tee for 3 wood and 5 wood off the deck. I was wondering who does this?

When it’s not too windy, JP uses a five wood. It’s a terrific Tourstage VIQ 5 wood with GD shaft of some non consequence. But it is hard to flight low and so it’s kind of a sunny calm day club, cause the wind howls here. Otherwise he uses a DI at 18*. The five wood is easier to execute. JP also will use his 909h at 17*. It depends how well he’s swinging. Sometimes he can come over the top with that hybrid....

 

When forced to go to a three wood off the tee because he’s trashing his drives, he can still find hitting his three wood is problematic. He has been forced to hit stingers with his DI. Sucks Word not allowed.

Definitely. 3w, 5w, 22*hybrid, 5i. Short knocker, so this part of my bag gets a serious workout when playing longer tracks. I need 3w or 5w to get home in reg on wicked long par 4s. 3 wood gets more work on windy days and/or linksy style tracks that run. 5 wood on longer forced carries and/or still days. Heavier shafts, slightly shorter lengths help with the dispersion with these kiddos. Ymmv.

Check my sig. I'm all in, after years of struggling with hybrids.

[Tex1986]

I've been Driver, 3wood, hybrid for awhile now.

 

I've thought about trying a 5wood, but just can't seem to find a cheap used one to fiddle with. There are lots of 3 woods on the used racks in golf stores though lol.

[wkndhack]

I go D, 3w, 5w, 4I....

 

Though the F6 Baffler is either a small wood or a large hybrid depending on who you ask. I was using an actual hybrid in the 4I slot but the gapping was too close.

Wait a minute here!!!!! I always understood the JP hits it pure at all times. This post suggests otherwise. Some hacker may have gained access to JP's account. We need to have this checked into!!!

I do. Went back to it last year. I've never been a hybrid fan. I go back and forth carrying my 3 iron or my 5 wood depending on course and weather.

[DeCuchi]

I primarily carry a 3 and 5 wood. I also have a 18* DI I’ll switch out on certain courses where I’ll be using it off the tee a lot. The 5 wood is great, but it can launch rather high from the tee and the DI is easier to control from the tee. I do prefer the 5 wood on courses where I’m likely to be going at par 5’s though.

[benclab]

I am! 3 and 5 wood. Tried the 4 wedge thing, 3 is for me.

[mokedaddy]

i still play 3 and 5 woods. I have a 3 iron if it's windy but it doesn't get much use.

[lil'mike]

I don't use multiple woods but have played them before and without any issues but since I like to play a hybrid now so I have been using D, 4wd, 3H or 4H, irons, wedges and putter.

[TheRed18]

I really like the flexibility of a 5-wood, especially when going for par-5s in two so I use that over an extra wedge or a hybrid. If it's extremely windy though (which I'm from Oklahoma and live in Texas now...both can be super windy) then I'll switch to a DI instead of the 5-wood

[jplroper]

I haven't had a hybrid for years, never really got along with the ones I tried and much prefer the fairway woods, 4+ and 5.

[BearQ]

5 wood sees the most use in my rotation. With shaft tech now and these high launch lower spin heads, 5w doesn't balloon like it once did.

 

I will be using a strong 3 wood and 18* 5w setup going forward like I am right now

[596]

I play the Ping G SF Tec 3 wood and Ping K15 7 wood. I love them both. The 7 wood replaced my 23* hybrid.

 

I'm searching for a Ping K15 5 wood to fill the gap and replace my 20* hybrid.

 

I can hit the 7 wood 195 yards from the tee and 180-185 from the fairway. It also holds the green well from 180 out.

[Sean2]

I have three.

[alfriday]

I am thinking off the tee for 3 wood and 5 wood off the deck. I was wondering who does this?

 

I go D, 4 wood, 3 hybrid or 7 wood depending on conditions. I hit a 4 instead of a 3 because I hit it better, the 3 comes out too low and I'm not consistent enough with the 3.

 

From your post, it seems like you are adding the 3 for tee shots. Okay, I get that, but why then take out the 4 wood for a 5? Do you really want to give up the distance from the fairway just to play traditional d, 3, 5 set? Why not keep the 4? If you plan on using the 3 from the FW, I get it.

[Glaze22]

I cant hit a hybrid to save my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Snap hook the hell out of them no matter what. I had a Ping 7 wood built for me and if I could get the results out of all my clubs as I do this one, I would be a low single digit caper.

Driver, 3wood, 5wood, 7wood, 5 iron....etc..

[pcs11]

3 wood and 5 wood for me. I have tried to replace the 5 wood many times with a 2 hybrid or a 2 iron, but the 5 wood always comes back. Much easier to hit and I love the effortless high ball flight.

 

Both are nice off the tee, but the 5 wood is stupid easy to hit off the deck.

 

Get the shaft right and you are going to have some weapons.

[scruffynick]

Don't use a driver, got a spoon in other words a 14 degree 3 wood. Backed up by a 4 and 7 wood. Then it's 5-sw. Always preferred woods to hybrids for some reason

[DrRob1963]

Callaway Bertha Mini1.5 [14*] and a Mizuno MP Titanium 5-wood [18*] for me - Great combo!

[MB83]

I was a 3 and 5 wood guy, then I got a 19 degree Hybrid. Really like the smaller profile of the Hybrid.

[No_Catchy_Nickname]

Driver, 4w, 7w for me.

The 7w is possibly my favourite club. There's actually not a massive gap between my 4w and 7w now, so I'm looking at replacing the 4w with a 3w. I do in fact have a 13* V-steel 4w which I like, so I may try driver, T/S, 7w.

[sirparalot]

Driver, 4W, 7W here. I am a lower ball hitter so the added loft of the 4 and 7 are just what I need to hold greens from 200+.

[VNutz]

Exact same here. Have a 4h as well. 4w is good for 240-250; 7w for 220-235. A modern low spin 3w is simply too low launching for me, just out of control bullets.

[mcs4]

In my experience, nearly everyone still carries a 3w and 5w unless they're on this forum or are pro golfer.

[Hjosh7_]

I use a 3-wood and a 5-wood. The 5 is my fairway finder and 2nd shot on a par 5 if I hit my drive far enough. The 3 is just kinda there most of the time, but I have hit some great shots with it in the past. The gap from the 5-wood to the 4-iron is kinda big, though, so I was thinking about a 4 hybrid or something.

[LabRat2]

3 wood and 5 wood for me on most occasions at my home course.

 

Sometimes 3 wood is dropped when I need an extra wedge or put in a 3 iron when playing links.

On these occasions I use the adjustability to strengthen the loft on the 5 wood.
