As implied, the bag overhaul is underway. I carry a 3w and 5w. Like the look of the M series. I've hit the epic off the deck. It will travel...

I'm not even sure how to go about selecting a FW. Not quite like choosing/getting fit for irons. Recommendations? FWIW, I purchased an M2 driver this year and have been fairly happy with it but not blown away.

Check out the m2 tour. I usually don't hit FW but that thing is stupid long and I have found it easy to hit. I actually don't use it as much as I thought just because it's so long. I've hit it with a good bounce over 270 off the deck and I am not that long off the tee.

Nice. I'll check both out. Love reaching out with the 3w.

I actually use my 3 and 5 a fair about from the tee, also.

Some cobra haters on here (jj9000 talking to you) but the F7 fairway Woods are the absolute best FW I've hit in a long time. Solid sound off the face and as straight of a ball flight as I've ever hit. The adjustability in the shaft is awesome as well
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Nice part about demoing FWs, I have to imagine you can get a representative sample from more models than an iron.

What metrics should I look at (besides distance) when I'm sampling?

my latest ensemble...

7W - Ping g30
23 degree hybrid - Titleist 816 H2
5 - PW = PXG
54 & 58 Vokey

but it will change again next week...

wish I could rewind the clock for all those years I tried to hit 2, 3, 4 irons...

Agree with this.

Demo as many as you can, then buy based on your own criteria.

I've bought dozens of FW combos over the past few years, and I always go back to the OG RBZ Tour 3 wood and Tour 5 wood.


Bond...I don't hate Cobra...I just have an irrational dislike for Cobra (kind of like Nike gear).

I have the Epic 3 wood, xhazardous shaft. I like it a lot. I was split between the Epic 5 wood and G400 2 hybrid. I hit both about the same distance so I went with g400. I also got the 4 hybrid.

I know you are joking, but I played with a guy a few weeks ago that just got one. He had a lot of problems with it. I tried it once. That club sux.

Ha, you just described me. Love my 7W.

They only reason I use a 4 iron is to punch out or pull balls out of snake potential areas.
