What is the number one FAIRWAY WOODS and IRONS on TOUR in 2008?

According to Titleist they are number one in the WEDGES and PUTTERS department in terms or quantity in 2008.

And we all know that TaylorMade is the number one most used on tour when it comes to DRIVERS.

But now my question is... who is number one when it comes to FAIRWAY WOODS and IRONS?

Fairway woods are dominated by Taylormade as well. Titleis is up there, but not on top. Taylormade has the most irons on tour as well. The r7 line is used by over 200 pga players and 100 nationwiders. The TM RAC MB's are used by Sergio.

One thing we all need to consider when hitting iron shots is ball position.

When hitting your longer irons the ball needs to be a little bit further forward in your stance than when you are hitting your shorter irons. That's because of the way the golf swing works and the width of the golf swing.

As an easy reference, between your three, four and five iron and your nine and wedge, there should be about two inches difference in where the ball is positioned in relation to your feet.

Keep in mind, of course, that when you're using a mid to short iron you're not after distance alone, not like when hitting a driver, fairway wood or even a long iron.

Remember that you really only want to swing the golf club at around about 75%-80% of your full power so that you've got full control and full balance,. It's very important that accuracy is the main thing for these irons, because we're now not hitting a 30-40 yard wide fairway with our irons, we're actually going to strike the ball onto the green now.

The closer to the green you get, the more you should be aiming for the hole itself. Remember with iron shots, wedge shots and with pitching, if you aim for the hole itself and don't just aim to hit it on the green, then even if you don't quite hit it as well as you would like, at least then you're just going to miss the flag and skirt the green.

If you basically lose your concentration and just aim to hit the green rather than aiming to get the ball close, you'll find you'll miss more greens. So keep your concentration and aim for as small a target as possible.

One great tip is to take one club more than you would normally hit, and grip down the shaft. This will lead to you hitting an easy shot, rather than trying to hit 100% power.

Remember, at the end of the day, it is how many shots that get counted, not how you hit them.
