I am looking at getting a TM V steel 3 wood and driver but i am having problem deciding to keep either my TM V steel 5 wood 18 degree or my TM rescure 19 degree. My irons only go up to 4iron. My thoughts are keep which one i hit best off the tee/fairway/rough. any ideas?

I think you have answered your own question. Keep what you hit best. Probably the hybrid.

Keep what feels best to you, I have a cheap recovery wood I bought in a supermarket, its brilliant when I need it and it only cost £5

Why not keep them all. I play with 1/3/5 woods, a 3i hybrid and 4-SW, still leaves room for a Gap Wedge.
Why (seems like overkill RG?)....
Solid shot with....
Driver = up to 250 - 10 degree
3 wood = up to 225 - 15 degree
5 wood = up to 210 - 18 degree
3iH = up to 190 tops.....20 degree, but struggle with it  - should go a tad further really.
On long holes I combine Driver and whatever
On short holes I play the club to leave around 100 yards, then go with PW or GP (or 9i if I've messed up!!!!)
If you hit it further than me (which most do!!) and the 5 wood and 19 rescue are too close.....stick with the rescue....

as to the drivers, you'll have to try both. my mate has a Wilson Spine and loves it, I can hit it OK but can't stand it.

Driver?
I had one for 3 weeks- It was ok - but I could not stand the sound. I also found I would sky it a bit as the shaft was soo soft it was an age behind me through impact.
I did not like the shaft as it was too soft and whippy.
On the other side of the coin my playing partner loved it and hit hit a country mile. He was just too miserable to buy it off me.
--------------------
24.5 summer handicap (reduced 12.5% from may) - winter handicap 17 at the start now 13 - can I make it to 12?
Come on the Tandragee Cheeky Boys we can do it.

did not have chance today to use the spine but i played my local club in best ever score 1+ mind you its only a par 64 but its hard to shoot level par or under. most the time you only need a 4 iron to land on or just short of the green and then a simple chip. on some of the longer ones it only requires a a 4 iron again then a 9 iron onto the green. nice little course
