Subject: two wood
looking for a good two wood..... my dad taught to hit with a two wood
and have been hitting of late with a three. i cant control a driver but
i know i could add 30 yards with a 2 over a 3.

i am constantly checking ebay,,,,
any good websites out to look at?

by the way, i am laid up with an injured foot. i had surgery on it last
friday. last wednesday, i shot 67 on a hard par 3 course....but hit a 40
foot putt with a break to end the round.....

what a game to love....what a game to keep one humble....

There are plenty of strong 3 woods around, but they are fairway woods.
The old 2 woods were definitely closer to a driver in size and shape
than a 3 wood. The face on my Callaway Deuce was actually deeper than
the Snake Eyes driver than I carried at the time. That low hitter
driver and the high hitting 2 wood made a good combination for
headwind and tailwind tee shots.

TaylorMade made a "Strong 3" (13º) VSteel. There are plenty on EBay.

I don't know if anyone still makes a 2 wood. Callaway used to make one
(The Deuce). I had one for a while and it was a useful club for long
low fairway shots and downwind drives. As another poster has
mentioned, you can get high loft ( >13 degree) drivers now that would
be equivalent to a 2 wood. The large heads and deep faces of these
clubs makes them impossible to hit off the fairway, so it depends on
what you want the club for.

The only 2 woods being produced that I know of are Louisville Golf
persimmon Niblicks. Niblicks are great clubs btw, but I don't know if
you want persimmon.

Why must the club have a number '2' on it? Go into any golf shop and look at
the racks of drivers. They will have lofts anywhere between 8 and 13
degrees, yet they are all 'one woods'. What loft and head size was the 2
wood you learnt with? Can you not match it with either a lofted driver or a
strong 3 wood? If it's shaft length that is causing the control problem then
consider one of the so-called 'Women's drivers' which have a shorter shaft,
or go to a club-maker who will build exactly what you want.
