Right now I have a Cobra Xspeed LD 13* and I am not hitting it well at all. I really haven't been able to hit it that good to begin with, maybe a shot here or there but I'm thinking the loft on it is what is making it difficult to hit off the deck as well.

I have switched irons, driver and putter and its made a difference so now I am wanting to get a 3 wood I can be confident with.
I am thinking of trying a few 3 woods but I am looking at the SQ Dymo 3 Wood and its a 15*. Just curious on if I might be better off with this over the Cobra.

Thanks guys

First the 3W is about the hardest club to hit well, it lacks the size of the driver and you really need to hit it perfectly at the sweetspot to get great results. 13* makes this worse, actually such a loft is even difficult for a tour pro to use off the deck. 15* might be easier, but it will not be a lot easier.

Most midcappers can better go for a 18* wood or a 16*-19* hybrid

I was a bit of an anti Nike guy and I was looking for a 3 wood with a bigger head because most of them are tiny. I wanted one primarily for hitting off the tee. I stumbled across the Sumo SQ2 and absolutely love it. It seems a decent size and it feels great too.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've been hitting a 3 wood pretty well for over 10 years-even when I was a 16 or 17 'capper. 13* is a bit tougher, but I wouldn't rule out a 15* 3 wood without hitting a few.

Funny you should mention the confidence thing. I just got the Dymo SQ 15*. After being super intimidated by the size of the face (1/2 the size of my last 3W), after hitting a few on the range, then taking it out for a round, I was completely shocked at how easy it is to hit. I have total confidence in it after hitting it.

Ive read that a 4 wood is better for lots of amateurs due to higher launch and loft which would give a slower swing more carry. Of course if you have a high swing speed this wont matter much. Im so inconsistent with my 3 wood as compared to my hybrids Im actually thinking of a real low lofted hybrid and totally ditching the 3w. I like the low profile look of the new Cobra Rail F 3w.

I am going to try out the SQ Dymo tomorrow at Watts after work. I really do need a 3 wood or maybe just a 2 hybrid and if so I am thinking of the Sumo. I hit a 3 hybrid about 225 avg at a Golf Galaxy on their launch monitor and they guy set the target for 190. I think I can pick one up for about 80 unless I get an "Open Box" deal at Global Golf..

Thanks guys

Yea. Get a CB2 or CB3 Exotics 4 wood. It will go probably as far as any 3 woods out there and will be easier to hit from a tight lie in a fairway. My 3 isnt too hard to hit. And it's great off the tee also. But, alas, I'm biased. All kidding aside tho, they make incredible woods.

I must be better than I thought because I have a Ping TiSi Tec 13* strong 3 that is one of the easiest to hit clubs in my collection. There are very few lies from which I can't hit 210-220 with it.
