I won a Taylormade 1-wood (forget the model & loft, but its one of those huge titanium jobbers) a few years ago at an outing. Prior to that club, I couldn't hit a driver. Don't know why. I tried different shaft stiffness and different lofts. I finally settled on a taylormade fairway wood (essentially a 2-wood) and seemed to be happy with that. I can hit the 2-wood 260+ fairly consistently, and a lot further if I'm lucky.

Now that I have this shoe-box on a stick, I am taking swings at short par 4 holes to get on in one. It's crazy. Anything inside of 330 is worth a rip.

I don't play anywhere near as much as I used to; 3 kids will do that. But I am pretty sure that I would be able to get my handicap down into the single digits (previous low was a 13) with that new wood. On all of the longer holes, my second shot would drop a club or two at a minimum. Plus, I have always found that I am most successful on holes when I get out of the box well. Doing that consistently would certainly boost my morale.
