After much trial and error I have discovered a 12* driver is optimal for me and as far as fairways go I need loft of around 18*

I have lots of trouble with anything closed which tends to reduce options.

Currently playing a Titty 909 F2 5 wood with the stock Diamana for Titleist shaft in regular flex.

Visually this fairway wood is superb. Off the tee is possibly the best fairway wood I have hit but off the deck perhaps not the most forgiving or longest out there. This is more my swing faults than anything to do with the club.

What is out there that is solid off the tee and still easy to hit off the deck, high launch with a neutral face and a mid 70 gram shaft.

Should be easy to find :lol:

Haven't tried them yet, but the R9 fairways look good, and sound like they meet all your requirements.

PL I have a R9 4 wood (17*) TP with Motore F1 75 regular shaft.

The reason I bought the TP version because I thought it will come with a TP headcover BUT it did not!

I know quite a few guys here cannot say enough good thing about the oldie V Steel 4/5 wood but according to my personal experience, the R9 is by far better in terms of distance, launch angle (even with a lower spin TP shaft) and general forgivness.

Great off the deck or the tee, too.

I believe the non-TP version shaft will give a even higher launch angle and spin rate.

I had mine made 7 years ago and I love it to bits. Its a KZG CH11 with a Penley Tour light shaft X stiff flex which hasn't been tipped - plays at a regular flex with low torque.

Anything cally will be forgiving enough. Even going back a few years . . . the Bertha range from 2007 were very forgiving off the deck.

The other option woudl be a Burner TP from 2007. Also easy to hit with plenty of spin off the face which is what you need.

If you want new and cheaap - check out Wishon's range.
