Re: Effective FW Wood Loft Gaps

Put the clubs in your bag that will give you the best yardage gaps and the most confidence, period. I know Titleist does...

Strong 3 - 13 degrees
3 wood - 15 degrees
4 wood - 17 degrees (-1/2")
5 wood - 19 degrees (-1")

The Taylor Made V-Steels were tighter yet...

Tour Spoon - 13 degrees
3 wood - 15 degrees
4 wood - 16.5 degrees
5 wood - 18 degrees

I don't carry a 2nd fairway wood because I don't need that kind of club. How many approach shots do we hit from over 200 yards? We're ametuers playing from the white tees. We hit driver off the tee and 7-irons or less typically. Long par 3's and par 5 2nd shots are the only shots close to 200 yards generally. IMO, there's no need to jam Driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood, 4-hybrid, etc. into a bag just to hit wedges and 9-irons all day.
