Viagra

Putting me a new 4 wood into play soon. Titleist something or other with some kind of shaft. Whatev. Doesn't matter, it gets the ball up.

I figure a 4 wood is pretty much the viagra of golf clubs. You just have to admit you have a problem and then take the medicine.

Gonna replace a 3W and a 2hybrid with a 4W and a 60degree wedge.

Some day, when I have more time, ask me about my Ginty story......

Yep. I switched from the conventional 3w and 5w to a 4w. One of the best things I ever did. Once i realized it was all about filling a gap and not about hitting a fw as long as I could I was better off. It also allowed me to add a 4th wedge.

Yeah, 4 wood is the perfect club. Shaft length is the same as and old school 3 wood, it's easier to hit than today's 3 wood.

They go a mile.

I have a ping 5 wood that is my 215 and up club. I picked up a 4 wood so I could gain distance like a 3 wood but also choke down for a 5 wood distance.

Nike T-60 are one of those oldie but goodie FW woods that are stupid easy to hit long and high. The T-60 stands for a 60 gram tungsten weight plug secured within the head towards the rear to launch the ball high and fast. I have a 3+ 13 and a 4, 17 in my bag and I doubt I will ever kick them out. They are plentiful and good sellers on the bay.

I've been considering this for awhile now. If you know where I can find one of these babies cheap, I'd entertain the idea.

I have an older Cobra with Icon FH shafts that I built several years ago. Sold it to a guy and regretted it about 2 weeks later. Last summer I was able to get it back. It's in my reserve bag right now but I have it on standby.

Last year I got my dad a Callaway XR 4 wood. He hits it extremely well... better than any 3 wood. He told me last Friday it was the best club in his bag. He likes it so much, he is seriously contemplating adding the 9 and 11 woods. He is 71 and has trouble hitting any iron over a 7. I think he will have all woods and start his irons at the 8 before the end of May.

KZG Q 4 wood, the best 3 wood I had had.

I just replaced my Cally BB 3 & 5 woods with a DTG Z-18 four wood. Like it a lot...and it's between the 3 and 5 so I use it whenever I need a 3 or 5 wood distance. Just grip down for the 5 wood shot.

Love my new PING G Sf Tec 3 & 5 woods. The 3 wood is 16 degrees and can be lofted up to 17 degrees. No problem getting it air born.

16 degrees is a 4w by my way of calculating things

I made that move several years ago when I admitted that I could no longer hit a 3 wood. I was even hitting a 3 hybrid longer and higher than a 3 wood. I built a Diamond Tour Golf LPT 4 wood and right from the 1st time I used it, I knew I had made the right choice. The ball went higher than the 3 wood and the 3 hybrid and longer than longer than either of them also. I just made an Adams Tight Lies 2 16* FW (using an old Harmon Tour Design shaft ) and I'm evaluating whether it can replace my LPT 4 wood. So far I'm happy with how easy it is to hit but I'm not sure I hit it as high as the LPT.

I tracked down an oldie but goodie Adams Redline 4 wood. Because it matches my driver. While straighter, it's about 25 yards shorter than my Orlimar HipSteel 3 wood. I don't think it's going to get a spot in the bag. I like to hit the 3 wood of the tee sometimes, and don't want to give up that kind of distance.

Yep. My Taylormade V-Steel 4W is 16.5°.
