Need some advice for selecting a strong 3wood to use from tee (and fairway) on those days when my driver swing has deserted me or the course is just tight.

I've wanted to try Adams Speedline series so here are my choices....

Speedline F11 titanium 13.5

Speedline F11 13.5

Speedline LP 13.5

new Speedline Fast 12

The new XTG is just plain out of my price range....

Anyone have experience with these ??? Suggestions?

From used prices it would seem the LP is the bargain in the batch...

But, Since the LP launches 'higher' would it be more like my current TE Exotics 3wood?

I want distance, accuracy, and plenty of roll out.

Thanks

BTW the northeast courses have summer well... so far a balance of heat & rain....

I can only imagine the disasterous shape the courses in drought stricken states must be in...

I hope you get some relief soon!

I can't really help you out except to say that I really like my Burner 08 3W, but where on the cape do you live?

Live NY near Saratoga...

Vacation home in Chatham...

On Cape golf at Cranberry Valley...

formerly played Captains Courses...

Captains just got too expensive and a bit too hard...

Also play the 9 hole Seaside Links in Chatham...

9 holes in the early AM and bring  donuts home for the non golfers.

I do have a guy I play with regularly who still uses burner 5 wood same era...

Nothing against TM, wanted to try the new 'velocity slot' technology...

Ah cool.  I spend a week in Brewster every summer.  Played Captains a few times with the juniors $5 after 5pm deal.  Turning 18 next year is going to suck...

My driver is the best club in my bag, so lucky for me I don't worry about hitting that one bad, I mainly use my 3wood (910F) on holes where driver is not needed.  I would suggest looking at the 910F, but if the price is too steep, try the Ping I20, good value.  Stay away from the RBZ if possible, I've heard bad reviews.

Titleist 913D2 9.5 (UST VTS 65)

Titleist 913F 15 (Diamana S+)

Titleist 913H 19 (Diamana S+)

Titleist 714 AP2 (4-PW) (DG XP-95)

Titleist Vokey SM5 (52,56,58) (DG XP-95)

Ping Anser 2 Classic

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
