I'm getting a orlimar tri metal 3 wood tommorow. It's an older model, but I'm going to give it a shot.

I am loving my Distance Master Pro Steel fws. I have a 7w with a shaft pulled from an old Tommy Armour 845 driver, and liked it so much I got a 5w head and put it on a Proforce 65 that I had laying around. I think my total cost for the two complete clubs is less than $30.

My 3w is a Bridgestone J33 with Speeder 757 (tour I think). Ironically I don't know that I like this club as well as my frankenstein fws.

Good info guys.
I'm new here, but sure could use a tip one way or the other...The past few days I have been flip-flopping between the Burner or the Sasquatch for a 3 wood. I like them both!
But, not being able to hit them on the course is making it hard for me to decide.
I am back playing after some years off. My good days back then I was lucky to shoot low 90's. Something easy enough from about any lie. I have no problem hitting my 10 year old knockoff King Snake, but know it is time to buy something new and worthy.
So, sway me please!

i have an old school big bertha, war bird sole plate, strong three. i don't plan on changing it out anytime soon. three woods are like an old pair of shoes that fit well and are very comfortable. you find one you like you hold onto it.

I have one of those too, have had it for about 10 years, people laugh at me cause its all scratched up and has a tiny head, but i end up laughing more when i out drive them :)

Good info guys.

If you're having a tough time hitting a 3 wood, eschew it for a 16 degree hybrid. The hybrids are so much easier to hit consistently and to get up in the air. The hybrid won't go quite as far, but if you're scoring in the 90s, accuracy is more important than distance and you are more likely to be accurate with a hybrid than with a 3 wood.

Thanks. I actually hit a 3 wood really weel from most lies, so basically just looking to upgrade. Just got back from hitting the Ping G10 and it is now between Burner, Ping, and the Nike. Geesh.

Thanks to me finding hybrids that I like, I only carry 2 woods now. A driver and a 3 wood. The 3 wood that I recently got (2 months ago) was the Nike Sumo 2 Square head. I absolutely love it.

I hit both the Sas2 and squarehead, like them both, the square had better feel IMO. My BIG ? is, the salesman said the square head is harder to hit out of the rough? Anyone comment on this please?

I dont know where you are in this country, but try and demo one at a range or a course. Dicks Sporting Goods let me take it to the course. It seems to cut through the rough just fine.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
