supo Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 (edited) what set up do u use? or has the ute versatlity usurped them? i still game 2 or 3 everyweek. 10.8/12 14/15 17.5/18 depending on course length and bunkering. got a few utes i lilke by royal coll and driving irons by prgr and honma but i much prefer good old fwds still gaming my royal collections, crazy fw , kasco and solid contacts most of the time , askin g bec im just building another batch for people. and for the reference is hard not to put the old diamana kaili in them. that thing is SO precise and easy to use. wonderous shaft with any head Edited April 19 by supo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bngolfer Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 For the longest time I had one wood in my bag - driver. But I had a 1-iron and a 2-iron. Then I added a 3 wood, now a 2-wood and recently also a 5-wood. I have many issues, but one of them now is the gaps between clubs. It is all a mess. Hit my 5-iron 155 meters rather than 170 of the past. That leaves 35 meters to the 5-wood or driving iron, whichever I put in the bag. Maybe have to resort to utes, but I dislike them.

I get that, I'm going back the other way. 4-PW + DI with 2 wedges. Driver 3W & Shorter 5W. Searching for constancy. Hybrid is a good gap filler though so not a bad option if you find the right fit.

supo Posted April 16 Author Report Share Posted April 16 if i play on my short par 5 course ill take 2 utes instead of FWD but on my main course (7000) yards ill take 4 woods. -my2 wood i hit on 3 holes to make sure i hit the fairway then long iron in -3 wood on 3 of the par5s -theres 4 par 4s that need driver 3 or 5 wood to get onto more oft than not these days. utes just wont make it. -3 of the par 3s are the hardest on the course play 190-205 yards and they are 5woods most of the time to stay out of the water in front. u gotta be long. i look fwd to hitting them. esp off the deck on the par 5s and giving them a good old wallop my fave club in the bag to hit now.

Celinho Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I have only been using a kamui 3 wood I recently got. Just took the ut out of the bag for a long 4 iron. but tried the apex uw from last year today for the first time and loved it. very precise and very long, easier and more comfortable to hit for me. will probably get one just need to decide the loft and shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 (edited) Just in the process of rebuilding the original Labo 358 3W & Fairway arms 5W of the same vintage. FW80s SX will be going in, these heads are up with the best if they fit your eye. Love the 358 off the deck..... FW80 are one of the best FW shafts ever made IMO. Keen to see how they go against the Baldo Corsas with TRPX. Edited April 16 by Hutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 (edited) shaft wise for fairway woods 1-crazy fw80 as a straight up , the fw shaft , esp for the harder htting fairway wood lvoing player i dont think anything is at the same level. 2 - diamana X70s has a feel that is out of this world and performance that matches ,just a bit thinner imapct than the crazy 3-quadra fire express original yellow/orange fw is the next best FW shaft proper after the crazy fw 4-graphite design p-9003x and z-9003s back in the day when i had some oomph were brilliant. 5-fujikura waccine shaft was, IS INSANELY good for a 2 wood or short driver at 44inch. All rounders i dont go for anyhing other than diamana blue, ali islei, kaili, illima are in 90%+ of my builds i do for folks. i think the kaili is the best value allrounder there is. and that blue looks knock out. my best ever fw builds , not 2 woodsm 14*> i can think of royal collection 304p-diamana X 70s (gamer now)cant get that out. syard xv -qudra fire express fw 75s crazy fw -crazy fw80 callaway erc fusion- diamana ali islei 83 s prgr egg spoon original- fire express fw 6 75s ryoma d1 f3-GDp9003x royal colllction bbd s type 2 - diamana blue 73s so many others ive dont but id take ANY of these to the trenches with me and be assured of perfection. over all the best all round head wud be the royal collction jp104 and with the kaili in it ???????????? well ive bullt 10 of these for my buds over last years to chants f ; oh mu god how goos is this! gotta say i have them in oz for links play as well and they dont misss a beat. dry or short grass the ryoma,prgr egg, masda, kamui pro light out Edited April 17 by supo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
