Hey sling, a question...

[bdcrowe]

BD, let us know what you decide on. I'm not a fan of off-set woods either. I'd like to find fairway woods that don't have the off-set. I asked a clerk at Ed Watts about it sometime back and his response was just, "Those are hard to find." Not even a suggestion.

Played the Tight Lies on-course today, and was able to compare it against the "modern" woods I've been playing, and (interestingly enough) the Adams Red Line 3 wood that my neighbor plays. Comparison is laughable. I'm talking utterly hillarious. This orliginal Tight Lies Air Assault, designed 7 (8?) years ago, on clearance now at Wal Mart, was the best hitting wood I've swung in forever. 16* loft gives the trajectory of a 5 wood, the length of a 3 wood (for me, it averaged around 250). It hits amazingly straight, but the "firm" shaft is softer than I am used to, so it's possible to overcook a draw. It lands pretty soft, with minimal roll. If the honeymoon lasts, and I'm able to hit 250 this consistently off the tee, then this will be a great summer.

Ping Tisi Tec (the grey one, not the G2 or the black one). These are hard as hell to find, but I traded two Callaways, a Taylor Made & an Adams for my 17 degree Ping Tec 5 wood. I lust for a 14 degree 3 wood, but can't find one that fits into me broke-dick schoolteacher budget.

Ping still makes 'em & sells those puppies for about $400, but apparently no one wants to let one go used. Ball-go-far. If you can find a demo, hit it.

What is this about hoing? Once you get started, it's hard to stop.

OK, Bd, I dropped by my local Wal Mart and found the Adams Tight Lies 3w. For $48.00, I figured I couldn't go wrong, so I picked one up. Haven't hit it yet. I'll let you know what I think when I do. Hopefully it will be the solution to the awful hook I've had with my last two 3w's.
