    Default Low-loft fairway finder — Will this work?

    Gents — thoughts on the value (especially with NSWGC in mind: high wind, lots of run, accuracy at a premium) of a low-loft three wood (14° or so) with a hybrid length (say 40-41”) shaft on it?

    Is that even a coherent/functional club setup?

    I’m curious about finding something accurate between 10.5° driver (230ish carry) & 18° hybrid (195-200 carry)?

    Just hit your driver with a lower tee height. more forgiveness and a bigger club face to hit.
    Allow for a bit of fade and the good thing... is it really shouldn't go left.

    Low lofted fairway woods are a 1990's throwback that no one needs. The golf ball is just too hard for this nowadays unless you are a 120mph or better swinger.

    I already use these tees with driver, so teeing lower isn't really possible unless I Laura Davies it!

    Taylormade mini driver, 13.5 degree as standard. My goto for most holes at RA. I find this club works really well with a slower tempo. Very straight

    With a bit of practice also goes well off the deck, perfect on Par 5's in windy conditions

    16-18 degree utility iron - carry about 180-200m and runs another 20-30m when struck well
