Is anyone still playing multiple fairway woods

[broth518]

Yup play 917 3 wood and 5 wood as I can't stand hybrids as I hook them and never figured them out.

 

I love the 5 wood it's my go to club when things are tight

[averysdad]

Same here...Rogue 3 wood and OG TM RBZ 5 wood. Can’t hit hybrids...auto hook machines

[elwhippy]

Depends on conditions. Driver, 4+ and 21 degree r15 are permanent. I alternate between Cally 5 wood at 18 degrees and a 17 degree G400 hybrid, which is gives a very penetrating flight and will be out on Friday as playing a links course.

[ashscache]

The setup working best for me right now is D, 3 wood (old Taylor made bubble firesole, but I can hit it) GBB heavenwood and 9 wood, 5-L Ping G20s or i15s, depending on which I’m hitting better, putter

 

Replacing the 4 iron with the 9 wood has been money for me. Lands soft and easy to launch.

[ashscache]

I love fairway woods - actually have amongst others

 

9w - 28

13w - 34

15w - 37

 

I’ve got a 13w and 15w too that we’re my grandfathers...never put them in play though. Love my 9 wood as a 4 iron replacement.

 

What does the 13/15 replace?

[LaymanM]

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

 

Love my 14 degree Callaway Bertha Mini 1.5. I game a PING G5 5 wood at 18 degrees with Aldila NV 75s

[prevailers]

3, 5 and 7. I don't get along with hybrids or higher lofted(>56) wedges

[EastTNGolfer]

3w, 5w, 7w, and 11w. Screw hybrids.

Your dignity.

[Double Dutch]

Technically I have two fairway woods. A 17* 3HL and I use a mini driver at 11 or 12 degrees. Every once in a while I hit the mini driver of the deck, but only because it is fun and I am an idiot.

[IsleOfMan]

F7 3-4w @14.5* is almost exclusively a tee club for a couple of tight par 4s at my home club... sometimes I'll try it if I'm way out on a wide par 5, but it's not reliable off the deck. F7 5-6w @ 17.5* on Baffler shaft is my normal off-the-deck fairway wood and not much shorter from the deck than the 3-4w. F7 4-5h at 22* slots ahead of Forged Tec 5i at 23*... I'd prefer a 21* hybrid but nothing in the Cobra line is capable of that loft with an open face.

swollowing your pride and playing clubs that work but go against conventional means are more noble as your score card is the only thing that cares

 

Whatever it takes to get the ball in the hole

[GolfChannel]

Callaway 816A - 5 Wood (as long as most 3 woods)

King Cobra LTD - 3 Wood (as long as most Drivers)

Take a joke, mate.

[Matt614]

I go D, 4w, 3-P, 52, 56, 60, P. I used to go D, 3w, 5w, 3-P, 54, 58, P but wanted more options on the low end of my bag.

[Highbury]

Three woods. Driver, 4, and 7. Finally ditched my hybrid which I could never hit straight.

[vspin1]

3w, 5w, 22 degree hybrid

thats pretty funny

[ChipNRun]

I am going into my seventh season playing 4W and 7W. First season with original RBZ didn't work well - 45 gram shafts just too light, lots of left misses

I now play Alpha 815s (with decent XRails in reserve).

 

I carry a 4H, and am trying to decide between 7W and 3H.

 

Prior to 4W + 7W, I spent decade playing around with 3W + (Brand X 3H or Slazenger 5W or TM 4 Raylor, or X20T 3i). 7W blows ball out of medium rough, can be used off tee on tight hole (unless wind is blowing), and fills distance gap between 4W and 4H.

 

I'm currently doing launch monitor work with the my FWs and hybrids (all adjustable). I'm trying different loft settings and shaft lengths to determine what to play in future.

[Double Dutch]

All you guys playing multiple fairway woods, how much loft is between the clubs and what is the distance gap? Wondering if it worth having two.

4W - 16.5° - 240 yards

7W - 21° - 215 yards

That is probably more than some have since the loft from 4wd to 7wd is greater obviously compared to a 3wd and 5wd setup! If you carry 3wd and 5wd, then the gap will probably be less. At least it would be for me when I carried both of those! Now just 4wd at 16 degrees and a 4H at 22 degrees!

3W - 15* 240

5W- 18* 225

7W - 20.5* 210

[NYDave]

I took out my 4 iron for this season, my home course has 2 short par 4's that my driver was too long and my 5w too short, put my 3w back in and have hit and I'm leaving drives on the green of just off...

Biocell 3w 15 deg

Biocell 5w 18.5 deg

F7 7w 22 deg

[Belmont148]

3W 15.5* Epic SZ- 235-245, mainly a tee club, but will hit off the deck fine if I have a straight ahead shot. Can't shape it at all.

5W 17.5* Baffler- 210-220. My main fwy wood.

19.5* F7 Hybrid- 195 club

22* F7 hybrid- 185 Club

5-PW irons.

 

2* gaps in woods/hybrids give me proper gaps no problem. I tried 3*-4* and it was just too wide.

[carcharodon1977]

Never played a 2 wood setup but I can't hit my 17* Hybrid consistently. Actually sold it last week, so I'm in the market for a 5 wood.

 

Enjoying my Cobra F7 3/4 Wood, so I'll look for a deal on the 5/6 version.

[bamagolf]

Present day I have driver, 3W, Heavenwood, 4H and so on (see signature for rest of bag). I find myself switching back and forth between the HW and 3H.

[FirePro]

this is funny that this came up today as I purchased a 909 F2 18.5 today as I have been thinking of putting one in the bag. I was thinking of getting rid of the 2 utility but I hit that thing so well im not sure why I would. So like others have mentioned I will give the 5 wood a go on calmer days possible. I will be hitting the range with it before committing to playing it on the course. Never really hit a 5 wood before so im curious.

[rawdog]

I'm a rare breed, see sig below.

 

My wood distances are shorter than most due to the shorter shafts. I play all 3 like hybrids, with the 3W maybe rolling out to 235 on perfect strikes.

[kiwii]

I don’t think playing multiple woods goes in and out of style. It’s more dependant on swing type, playing style, course conditions and course management strategies. I’ve seen many pga WItB with higher lofted woods when needed. Personally I have a problem hitting the ball too high with a steep AOA so the higher lofted woods don’t work well.
