  Marty, L58 G25 3w, to go along with a 250y 3w? 235y? High trajectory, slow meter and enough spin? Missed it? ;-)

  Positional golf means knowing the course you are playing and the clubs you are using. If you don't want a 235 yard approach shot, don't put yourself in the position where you have to make that shot. Playing a little shorter off the tee might be all that is necessary to be able to hit that full 3w. Golf does require a little be of thought.

  Those lower level clubs don't have the trajectory of a club in the levels 90-100, I've tried them all that's why I'm making this suggestion

  I agree with you, but with tricky winds you can be left with a yardage between 250yd and 225yd, you may need high trajectory due to the wind of elevation, I love course management and I'm not making this suggestion without a good bit of thought

  No matter what clubs you carry, since there is a limit, there will always be a time when you don't have a club with the right attributes for the shot you want to play. If WGT would be nice enough to allow me to substitute my Cleveland  52 degree wedge for my Vapor pitching iron, I would be just as happy as you would be with that 235 yard hybrid or that elusive 1iron that sometimes appears. Unfortunately we have to deal with what the pro shop sells.

  i know i have to deal with what wgt sell, im only making a suggestion, the last time i looked im in the "product suggestions" section of the forum

  they already sell a 235yd club, how hard would it be to make a level 99 version that has a teeny tiny extra bit of trajectory, say 10ft extra

  I agree with you Marty I too would like such a club . It has never made sense to me as to why WGT makes all of the hybrid clubs the same 225 yards . No matter the levels every hybrid in the pro shop has the same yardage . Like I said if they made one with a 235 -240 + yards I would buy it and change it out for the 3 wood .

  Maybe thats why WGT wont make one they fear a loss in club sales since other players would probably do the same thing . This of course would probably cause a reduction in sales of 3 woods which may be as to why it wont happen .

  L58 G25s have a high trajectory. I've played with that set for 3 years (until BB came out) and the trajectory is just fine for any 3 wood. Bout the only choice you'll ever get here, I'm afraid ;-( But, then again, there has to be at least some course management necessity left in this game ;-)
