I am looking for a 3-wood to replace my 6 yr old Mizuno MP-001. I haven't done any research for a long time and not sure where to start.

thanks,

Just as an option, the Callaway Diablo Edge is on sale at Callaway Preowned.

They are 30% off till midnight tonight. Part of the deals of days promotion. Every 2 days there is a new deal.

"Like new" condition is brand new on that site. Got all my clubs there this time last year. Awesome deals.

Looks like $88 will get you a Callaway Edge 3W (till midnight)...

+ 1 on the Callaway Diablo Edge 3w.

I really like the club, until the very end of the season I used it in place of my driver. It's very forgiving, and in many cases I was hitting it just as long as my playing partners were hitting their drivers (though none are going to win a long drive competition).

Longest 3 wood out on the market is Tour Edge Exotics. If you want something more forgiving, check out Ping G15.

How forgiving are the Tour Exotics 3 Woods?

The XCG-3 is pretty darn forgiving, as the head is huge. Unlike some others, I don't know why the size is an issue. Most people shouldn't be hitting 3W out of the rough and don't need to work it. Some people struggle off the deck with the smaller headed CB series.

Unless you hit 3W alot off the tee, the TEE 4W works well for dual purpose. Ball flight is pretty high though.

Hey, i bought the Cleveland Launcher DST 3 wood and I love it. Its super light which has given me more swing speed which translates in more yardage and its also on sale for $149.99 as I bought the 2010 model....Highly recommended!!!!

I have a Cobra S9-1 in my bag right now that I love. I also have a Tour Edge XCG that was given to me. It has a stiff shaft, so I'm thinking of getting it re-shafted and giving it a whirl.

I have the XCG-3 strong 3 wood (used mainly off the tee) and I find it just as forgiving as any 3 wood I have ever owned. I can also hit it off the deck with no problem...great club and I highly recommend it for the OP...

Odyssey - Metal X #7, 35in

I just won a slightly used XCG-3+ wood for a $100 Regular flex. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for your recommendation.

Hi, my absolute "go-to-club" is a 15degree 2006 RAM FX9 3 Wood with Grafalloy Prolite Elite shaft. Does anybody know this shaft as I am looking to replace it in 2011 with a Titleist 910F in 13,5 or 15degrees

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
