I have always been terrible off the tee. Until lately that is. I picked up a Cleveland Hi-Bore 3 wood that I hit very well (for me). I think it is a couple years old rather than the newest model, I got a really good deal on it when the local golf shop had a tent sale.
I hit fairways more consistently with it and can hit it pretty far (again for me). I regularly hit it 240-250 and really caught one the other day that had to be 265-270. It was the farthest I've ever hit any club, usually I hit my driver about 250 if I can keep it straight.
Here's my question. Can I translate anything from the 3 wood to the driver? In other words do the shaft, swing weight, etc. of the 3 wood tell me anything about what driver I would hit well? I have to think that as well as I'm hitting the 3 wood I should be able to hit a driver farther than I do any of the ones I have tried.
The Hi-Bore has the stock 55 gram Fujikura regular flex shaft in it.
Any advice on what this club may tell me about what type of driver I should try?
