Fairway Woods or Hybrids

you can see in my signature that I don't have any woods. What I'm wondering is since I have better accuracy with the hybrid I have and one my buddy has and the woods I use are another friends and I am all over the place with them but do hit them further in most cases. Would I be able to find some hybrids that I can get the same distance as woods with? Like a 15* hybrid close to the same as a 15* 3 wood or am I better off going with the woods and just learn how to swing the clubs better

Most likely not. I am pretty sure A fairway wood will usually get more distance than a hybrid even if they are the same loft.

At least stick with a fairway wood that has a loft of14 or 15 degrees.

If your having an issue with a fairway wood. Chock down onthe club a little more and see if that helps.

The New issue of Golf Digest(the hot list addition). Has an article that helps explain hybrids vs fairway woods.

Wilson had a set of woods/hybrids called the Fybrids. They are kind of a cross between the two. It might be an option to try. I had one for a while but it didn't suit my taste.

Did you ever get/find a fairway wood?

No I haven't yet...I use a friends who basically refuses to hit his 3wood at this point still trying to decide what route to go really

Have you gone and tried some different ones out

Not like I want to at Goldsmith or PGA just hitting a couple of friends

Before you go and buy something. You can get fitted for free at any pro shop and.....have you though about getting some lesson from an instructor?

I have and know from playing pool that now is the time before I really get the bad habits I have too ingrained and can't change but I also don't have the money or time to at this point

You're a pool player too. Do you play in any of the local leagues? I play Wednesday nights at Skip & Jans in Tempe in the TAP league.

I played the Wednesday TAP last year on Nice Rack

Last year my team was Square Balls. New team started this session with the name of Indecent Exposure. We just qualified for titleholders so hopefully we can keep up the good work.

Where were you guys a few years ago. I spend hours in my front room playing pool. Nobody I know likes to play.

If you like to play pool I would suggest joining a league. It's a good way to improve your game, have some fun. I've got a few golf buddies in my pool league now and it's a lot of fun if you hook up with the right bunch of people.

Lol I love pool. I was taking kids lunch money in High School playing pool. I've thought about joining a group but time is something I don't have.
