The most under-used and most easy to give-up club in the bag is the number three 15 degrees fairway wood for me. A fairway wood is nice and easy to use off a tee on a tighter fairway simply because it is shorter than a driver and has a higher loft of 15 compared to a driver's 10 degrees, therefore, useful as a second driver. However, hitting one off the deck with consistency is a different story favouring those with a flatter swing plane. I have tried them all including all the major brands and models over the years in particular those that lay claims to be the most forgiving which usually means a bigger head.

In the entire golf bag, the club that really splits people in the middle is the golf hybrid. Golf hybrids were available long before the car industry started the journey. They took the best of both worlds - elements in the fairway woods and irons and inco...
