Nice set of clubs! What ball do you game with them?

I don't subscribe to the idea that the older woods perform better with certain balls. I use mainly premium balls. Today played with Pro V1 but in my experience any decent ball is fine.

When is it a hybrid and when is it a fairway wood?  The lines get blurred.  I always figured that a Raylor was a bit of a Frankenstein with a heavy keel sole, compact head and fairway length shaft.  The original Callaway Heavenwood had a pretty compact head for a fairway wood.  Shallower than say a comparable 7W of that era.

What's easier to get through the rough this or a Driving Iron?

Totally different clubs.  I've never hit a driving iron so can't comment on that, but I do know that I appreciate the mass as well as the loft I get with a Ginty when it comes to getting out of rough situations.

I might grab one see how it plays

I've seen Gintys with metal heads on eBay. I would guess that they would last longer than Gintys with wood heads, although my Ginty has a laminated maple head and is pretty solid.

Laminated maple is solid--- Main thing is to keep them sealed from moisture. I have used tung oil over the years but on a quick deal to play not resell I used to at least once a year use rattle can poly spray. My old Northwestern laminate 6 wood lasted for over 20 years until the insert popped out one day. I epoxyed it back in with Conap Epoxy and 2 days later the head cracked. LOL it was worn out anyhow steel shaft and it had bag wear marks on the shaft and the flat sole plate was worn so thin I could have shaved with it.

I've never seen a 6 wood
