When I started playing golf the only woods most players carried were the driver and 3 wood. There were a few 4 and 5 woods around but not many people carried them. Well times have certainly changed. As I've told you I don't carry any iron longer than the 5 anymore. However, some folks are going farther than that. Some manufacturers like Callaway are now making 11 woods and 13 woods. Thomas Golf has gone further and is also making 15 woods, 17 woods and even 19 woods. Now you can replace almost every iron in your bag. Thomas Golf sent me a 15 wood to test. On the head cover it says 15w and 7i, meaning it's about equivalent in distance to a 7 iron. I took it with me on my regular Saturday round of golf and on the first tee showed it to my playing partners and asked them if they would all try a shot with it, at least once during the round. Well, they did and then some. I tried it and it was very solid and very accurate. What surprised me was how often my playing partners tested the 15 wood. It was hit probably 15 to 20 times (I expected maybe 5 or 6 hits). One 22 handicapper really liked it. He probably hit it 9 or 10 times. He asked for the web site and I would be surprised if he hasn't already ordered one. All of us found the 15 wood solid and easy to hit. Thomas Golf now makes up to a 19 wood. If you fight with your irons I would recommend trying a couple of these especially if your have a 20 handicap or higher. For $89 (with a graphite shaft and headcover) you can't go wrong.
