Yeah, of all clubs, the 3-Wood seems to be the most likely to stop working for me.

When it fails on me, I go to the range after a game and practice hitting it on a tee. First I tee it up as though it were a small driver, ball equator at the top of the club. I hit a few tee shots this way. After a few good shots, I lower the tee. I repeat this until I'm practically hitting it off the deck.

Seems to work for me the last few times my 3-Wood failed me. Needless to say, if I have 3 bad shots with it during a round, I put it away for the rest of the round. If I'm going to have to take two shots to achieve something, I might as well make them two shots of my choosing.

Let me know if this works for you. For what it's worth, I do this with my Cobra 3-Wood.

you can always do what I did...... get rid of it. I took the 3 wood out and put in a 15 degree hybrid in its place.

Britboy is definitely on to something. I took my Sasquatch 3 wood out of the bag because it was infuriating to hit. I only recently put a 3-wood back in my bag but I only hit it when I'm extremely confident I can hit it where I want to, and if I screw up it won't leave me hung out to dry

I wrestled with the thought of getting a 15* hybrid but decided to replace my 19* hybrid with a 17* hybrid and got a 3-wood as well. At this point in my game I can't run from clubs because they're hard to hit and expect to have my H.I drop.

Sounds like overswinging to me. Are you only reaching for it when you want to bust a second shot into a par 5? Or hit a tee shot over the trees when you can't get your driver high enough? Misshit a few of these and your conficence is shot. Focus on making swings as close as you can to your longest hybrid.

[M-benzw203]

i just dont know top my shot with it my hybrid i can hit pretty well here and there ill put it left and the goes w my 3wood i pull it left if i have good contact but not a good swing. now that have been practecing a lot more i miss hit my shots left i used to lose them rt whatz going on

Wish I could help... I had the same problem for a long time. I didn't carry a 3W for the last 15+ years for the same reason... just couldn't seem to hit it. Couldn't get it more than 5 feet off the ground, and I tried a few different ones. Then, I got a gift card for Dick's from some friends at my retirement party this summer, and I've been hanging on to it trying to find something that I needed. This week I decided to go try out some 3W's. I ended up buying an Adam's Ovation 3W (stock stiff shaft) for $79.... and I love it. I can actually hit the darn thing.

It has nice classic look to it, with a fairly small head, which I really like. It's never going to be the club to pop the ball over any intervening trees, but I get a fairly high ball flight, straight or just a slight fade, and good distance. The price was right and the club seems to work for me.

I would personally try to just think of swinging with an EXTREMELY smooth tempo when you are having trouble topping shots with a wood.

My tendency with woods is always to want to overswing and if I can just slow down and keep it under control my 5-Wood is a CANNON.
