I would reccommend the taylor made vsteel fairway woods. They have a nice low profile, cutting sole and are nice and forgiving.

I went for them and they have made huge progress!

I'd say they might be too demanding for a 20 hc. I found them difficult to get in the air.
Check out the callaway steelhead III. Very easy to hit and less than £50 each second hand.

car was in a courtyard outside the house..... whoever took them knew exactly what they wanted, the smashed the window, popped the boot and took the clubs, they didnt even open the doors of the car as the locks were still down.... FECKERS...

i had only just bought a brand new taylor-made rossa mezza monza putter from ebay... had only used it twice...

I was thinking of buying the callaway x fairway woods, i think they retail for about 250 in mcguirks, but keep an eye out for bargains on ebay.

My brother has a taylormade R5 3 wood and it is fantastic. Really nice weight and goes a mile if you hit the swetspot, pretty forgiving too.
