Hey Gang:

So I managed to get out and play today. I never thought that I or any of my golfing brethren from the northern climates would have a chance to play golf on January 6th. In exactly one month I'll be jumping on a Southwest flight departing Buffalo, NY bound for West Palm Beach at 6:05 a.m. I'll be travelling with new irons, wedges and bag. Today, I decided that I will not take the RIFE on this trip as I'm not comfortable with it. I think right now it's a feel thng after rolling it outdoors today on greens. I have good distance control with it.. just the feel makes me feel uneasy. So I'm taking my Odyssey. Reliable little guy.

My issue I suppose lays within my situation with woods. I really don't know which woods to take. I have recently filled the bag with DET driver, fwy and hybrid. I've had the chance to get them out on New Years Day and today. Results are decent although the conditions have been tough. Either cold, windy and rainy. Or cold and windy. From a driver standpoint the accuracy of the DET driver early on has been fantastic. In fact, I am somewhere in the neighbourhood 19/21 for fairways hit through 27 holes played with it in the bag. I love the numbers but I'm just not sure where my heart or brain is when it comes to feel and distance. The DET fairway has been rock solid from the fairway as it's the only place that I've used it... except for my opening tee shot of 2012 where my adrenaline caused me to swing too fast and top it just past the forward tee. (ouch!). But what a recovery with it.

Waiting in the wings are the woods that I finished 2011 with. TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0. I used the driver in one competitive event that saw me lead the field in driving accuracy at 84.6% and the results with the hybrid and fairway have been decent as well. I know that I prefer the feel of the TM woods more than the Callaway woods.

I think I might have room in the bag for both sets of woods to travel... so I will likely take both and test them there. I guess my question for my fellow THP members is this. Say your accuracy numbers are good with both drivers and the difference in yardage in woods is say... 5 yards or less. But one has a better feel in your estimation... what woods do you take if it turns out you don't have room for two sets of woods in your bag?

(I'm just curious... I will say that I have about 10 more rounds in with the TM over the Callaway)
