| 675.1 | I think its a GINTY | DASXPS::TARVER | | Fri Jul 07 1989 14:55 | 12 |

I think you may be considering a "Ginty (?)" type club. The Ginty
woods have a sole plate that resembles a boat keel ( ~~\/~~ ).
The "keel" plate helps the head move through the rough, taller grass.
Supposedly, this club is big help on approach shots from the fairway/
rough to the green. I'm not a Ginty user, but my wife is very fond
of the Ginty 7 in her golfbag, and uses it often.
Regards,
Bill

Mike,
Remember it's all between your temples. If hitting a wood makes feel
you have better chances of making a good shot, then go for it.
I got a 9 wood as a gift at my league's banquet a couple of years
back, and there are many times that I prefer to use it instead of a
long iron, I like the heavy head feeling. I also carry a Ginty,
which I use out of tall grass and fairway bunkers. Besides, I can't
hit long my irons, so anything 170 or more is wood territory for me.

| 675.3 | GO FOR THE GINTY! | BOOKIE::BARBER | | Fri Jul 07 1989 15:32 | 11 |
| Mike,
I have a 7 wood Ginty that is a very handy club....it'll get you
out of a lot of bad lies, tall grass, tight fairways, etc....I get
a good 150 yrds. out of it. I liked it so much that I went out
and bought a 3 wood ginty also....I guess it's whatever works for
you. It's also good for getting your shots up and over bunkers,
water, etc.....even when you miss them, they work out for you.
Don't hesitate for another minute, buy one!

| 675.4 | I'M A BELIEVER NOW! | CSCOA3::CONWAY_J | | Mon Jul 10 1989 11:36 | 11 |
| Played one of our local Municipal courses on Saturday. We have
had almost forty inches of rain since the first of the year, so
the rough is real thick and real high. On 15 I pulled my tee shot
into the real deep stuff. I took a swing at it with my 3 wood,
and managed to bump it up about 20 yards into even worse rough.
The guy I was playing with loaned me his "tour cleek"; small, heavy
clubhead, about a 5 woods worth of loft, and with this club I was
able to dig it out, and hit a fairly high shot with about a 5 iron
distance back onto the fairway, and just short of the green. I'm
sold! What brands of clubs, besides Taylor, sell this type of trouble
club? About how much should I expect to pay for one?

| 675.5 | 6 wood | CAM::ZIOMEK | | Mon Jul 10 1989 11:52 | 17 |

Hi,
When I bought my wood's, I bought the 1,3,6 instead of the 5.
I use the 6 wood for both fairway shots as well as in the rough
with equal results. My 6 wood (ping) has a very heavy head for slicing
thru the rough, but what really makes it unique is the closed clubface.
I noticed alot of times when I used a three wood out of even a short
rough, I would tend to slice the ball alot. This happened because
of the club being "dragged" through the taller grass, hence opening
the clubface. But with the closed face of the 6 wood, even with
it dragging some through the grass, goes straighter and farther.
Also, the metal cleat on the bottom of the club is more than twice
the thickness of the driver. It's a great club, i'll never part
with it.

| 675.6 | Purchased 7 Wood Over the Weekend | NRPUR::CUSACK | | Mon Jul 10 1989 12:05 | 10 |
| I wound up purchasing a 7 wood over the weekend. I bought a Spalding
Executive 7 wood (matches my other Executive woods), and it only
cost $35.00 at the discount golf place in Marlboro. The clubs ranged
from $35 to $60 or so for the more expensive metal woods. I used
it over the weekend and really liked the club. The heavy head cuts
through the rough well, and I even played it from the fairway a
few times with success. For me anyways, it's a worthwhile club
to have.
