As you can see I don't use any fairway woods in my setup. Ive tried a bunch but for some reason havent been able to find one that I can hit with consistency. At the end of last season I started hitting my Burner 10.5 off the fairway and was pretty surprised with the results. I would say my range was about 240-250 and decently accurate. Does anyone else do this that would have any tips, and what should I get for my 14th club. Should I keep testing woods or should I add a 64?

Hitting a driver off the ground is a lot more difficult than hitting a 3W. Maybe you just need to have a 3W built that matches better with your driver or pickup a higher lofted driver of the same make to use as a 3W, like a 12 or a 14 degree. With the added loft you should have no trouble getting it off the ground and it should fly higher and maybe a little farther. I used to carry a 14 degree driver along with my 8.5 to 9 degree driver, worked great. Wish I still had it.
