Any body here use a 4 wood. I've been toying with the idea of getting one. If I did I would take out my 3 wood and 16deg rescue. Any thoughts welcome on this

Not in many years. I had one for a short time and rather liked it but have always carried a 3 and 5.
In your case, if you have a 15 degree 3 wood and 16 degree rescue, I have to say that a 4 wood (to use as a single club) might make sense. Seems a waste of the others though.....do you need to dump a club to keep to only 14?

I have one, a old Callaway WarBird. and carried it with my Driver last year, .....when i was hitting my driver half decently.
Damned effective club too
This year, having ditched the Driver for most of the year and stuck with a 3Wood, I dropped the 4 and carried my original identical 5Wood.
If, and when, I start hitting the Big Dawg well again, the 4wood will come out to play again.

Its an interesting idea and means I could dump the 3 and 5 woods and carry a LW all the time. The problem is there just doesn't seem to be any around. I've seen some strong 3 woods (almost a 2.5 wood) and only once did I see a strong TM 5 wood (R5 I think). I guess all the manufacturers see 1,3 and 5 as the standard fare and so don't produce them.

I've got a Cleveland Launcher 4 wood. 17 degrees and it goes a mile. Easily as long as the Titleist 906 F4 3 wood it replaced, I was hitting it 230 yards (SC measured) the other week. It means I can carry Driver, 4 wood, 3hybrid, 4 hybrid 5-pw and 3 other wedges. I've never found much real difference between a 3 and a 5 wood anyway.
Mizuno do a 4 wood in the F-60 range, Ping G10 and 15 have 4 woods as do the new R9. Nike Sasquatch 4 woods as well I think. Callaway have done a few in their time too. Just search "4 wood" on Ebay and you'll have plenty of choice.

Ive got a Nike T40 4 wood sat here, its a little scratched with a firm shaft, could be convinced to sell it for a tenner plus postage if you wanted to try one and not lose an awful lot in the process. might need regripped and buffed up.

I have a Nike Sqr 4 wood dont carry a 3 wood.
Picked the 4 wood up about 5 months ago and use it on all tight drives and off the fairway, fantastic club would not be without it.

Imurg, what's the Launcher like from the fairway and the semi-rough, as I quite fancy one instead of my 17 degree utility?

Honestly Dids, its wonderful, fairway or rough.
Although its got a largish head it just works so well. Best fairway wood I've had - and believe me I've had a few! - Get the right shaft - gold is the soft tip, red is the stiff tip - and you're away. Being superceded by the new DST so the price of the Launcher is coming down.

Thanks Imurg - 3 woods and me have never had a stable relationship, especially from the fairway. So, as I won the 2nd division yesterday (another £50 into the coffers) I can see a purchase coming on. Bye, bye 3 wood and utility for the rest of the winter.

Imurg, presumably I go for the 2009 version, which seems to be selling between £87 and £99.

Funny that Chris.....mine was a warbird! I had just about every warbird model made (10 and 12 degree drivers, 3 wood, 4 wood, 5 wood).

I use the TM R9 in a 4 wood, Ditched the 3&5 woods so I could get another wedge in the bag which was far more important to me
