Hello, my name is John; and I cannot hit a fairway wood. I don't even carry one in my bag. I hit the driver fairly well; and also do OK with the TE Ironwood hybrids which have replaced all my irons (3-SW). The problem is that there are a few holes on my home course where a longer second shot would be a distinct advantage. I own a Callaway Warbird strong four (4+) which I have occassionaly tried to use to fill this gap. These attempts usually result in ugliness. I have tried everything I know to get it under control...ball forward in stance...centered in stance...rearward in stance...stronger grip...etc., etc. When I move the ball rearward I can't get the clubface closed. If I move it too far forward, I hit it very fat. When I try not to hit it fat, the result is often a topped ball that dribbles only a few yards.
I feel like a hybrid with a draw biased offset that would be the equivalent of a 3W might be the answer. Would be interested in hearing some opinions of the various hybrids that you guys have tried so that I have a starting point for testing/trials. I don't plan to buy anything without trying it first. I just need to get some ideas about where to start looking.
