Which 3 Wood?

I'm a high handicapper who hits a 3 wood off the tee instead of a driver.  Looking for a new one.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

What do you currently hit? What are you looking for in a new 3 wood? More distance, more accuracy, easier to hit off the deck? A little more information will provide you with much better responses. As it stands, you'll probably get 50 guys telling you the 3 wood they have is the best ever, and you should get one too, without any idea whether it's a good fit for your or not.

If you want a 3 wood that is purely going to be used off the tee you may want to look at the Xhot 3 deep. Or the ping karsten. Also don't rule out the possibility of a 12 or higher degree driver. As Tom Wishon has said having an accuracy driver is not a bad idea. I know that the sldr will be offered in 14 degrees of loft which could be perfect... Let me know if I can help any further

Good advice - thanks.  I'm still new to this.  Right now I'm using a Callaway XHot with a graphite shaft.  I love the club, but I'm just looking for more distance.  I've never been long; I only get about 200-210 off the tee.

For some reason I can't hit a driver.  Can't figure it out.

The callaway x hots are one of the longest 3 woods out there. Make sure you test clubs though because you may get different results. Most likely to get more distance you should decrease loft.

Maybe the money might be better spent on a few lessons, instead of a new 3 wood? ;-)

That's always a good idea! Many times it is the Indian and not the arrow

Under the circumstances, it seems to me a much better investment. The 3 wood is has now it already a very good one, so "upgrading" likely won't give him an appreciable gain in distance. Taking lessons and improving the swing will not only allow him to use the driver (and thereby gain distance) but also improve his game all around.  If it were me, I would stick with the X Hot (it really is a great 3 wood, I'm thinking about picking one up), take a few lessons, and start booming it with the driver.

You should seriously consider this: http://www.golfshopcentral.com/p-330-kickx-blast-driveway.aspx . @cipher loves his and mine's in my bag fairly often.

Nice club, I liked it enough to re-arrange my set around it, including the wedges to make room for it.  I use it on tight driving holes and it is like cheating out of the fairway.
