Cheers for that mate, it's given me more confidence to actually go and do it

John I don't think you are that far from me ? My brother in law is the head Pro at Branston golf club , I could have a word with him if you if ou like .

You should definitely do it mate. I am pretty thick skinned so was happy to make a fool of myself but it really isn't like that.

Anyway, if you're hitting it about 200 yds and straight-ish, that's nowt to be embarrassed about! Don't believe what people say on the net, that's about average.

Club heads are pretty close to the limits of both technology and the regulations, if you buy something recent you can't really buy a bad one. You can buy the wrong specification though, but you just need plenty of loft and the right shaft.

Despite being an equipment geek, I'd happily use pretty much anything from the last 5 years or so, and I often go back to a 10 year-old driver.

Got a used Taylor Made R5 10.5 degrees available if you ever want to buy a driver

I just recently got into golf and opted for a cobra s3 driver which is great for distance but has introduced slice

The trick is to relax and not to kill it and it will actually go a good distance

Got a set of barely touched Taylormade burner pro irons for 100 on gumtree to

I still haven't done anything about this! I've changed my mind now having used my mate's 3 wood a few times, a 3 wood is going to be my best choice rather than a driver I think. I could hit it just as far with the 3 wood as I could the driver

HMHB

So if anyone has any tips on good 3 woods then I'd be interested in hearing them.
