hi
I'm 16 and have been playing golf for a year now
I currently use a Ram FX9 3 wood of the tee (if not my driver) and hit approximately 240-50 yards but have problems hitting out of the rough and off fairways which would be useful on long par 4's and par 5's

I'm looking to purchase a 5 wood for this purpose, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of the best fairway woods for fairways lol (price is not an issue)

thanks

Most of the time out of the rough is not the place to use a wood. Something slightly more forgiving from poor lies may be the rescue woods.

Otherwise its a matter of taking your medicine and chipping out with a 7 iron. Anyway I digress....

There are loads of woods on the market, the best thing to do would be to hit a golf store where you can try before you buy to see which makes and which shafts suit your swing best.

I will second that. It would also be good to practice hitting balls, off a 2x6, to train you to not skull the ball, or top it.

yeah I currently use a nickent 3 hybrid/rescue club but I feel I often need slightly more distance which I get with the occasional strike from my 3 wood

thanks for the advice and I definately plan to go and get fitted at the American Golf store near me before purchasing anything, but I was just wanting to see if you knew any that would be particularly suited to hitting off the deck
