I have a current Callaway Steelhead 3W with a steel shaft. I have had this for many years and love it. But I wonder if some newer technology would help improve my 3W accuracy, etc.

I like the feel of this club off the tee and also from the fairway and rough. It has a slight teardrop shape, rather than the flat bottom.

I know the new Nike Sumo2 fairway wood got great reviews in the recent Golf Magazine...what other 3W's would compare?

I had a Steelhead and switched to a TM V-Steel through tgw.com. It may not be the latest release...but sure is an awesome 3W

i just traded my Callaway X 3 wood for the MacGregor mactec NVG--it has a lower profile and a sharper bottom line..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

With the exception of Callaway's X Hot, Cleveland's HiBore and Nike's SasQuatch 2 fairway woods, every other 3-wood is going to look HUGE compared to your Steelhead. Take a look at the Adam's Insight line (Adams make some of the best fairway woods on the market) or even MacGregor's new MT line, both have been well received.

I can vouch for the Adams insight....it hits and sounds great. It hits off flat lies as well as buried equally well.

My three wood for the previous five years was the Callaway Steelhead 3+ with the uniflex steel shaft. I changed to the Titleist 906f4 13.5 degree to try and achieve a higher ball flight and greater distance, which it has done. It's worth a try and it's seems to be easy to hit off the deck.

Cleveland's HiBore - Best 3 w on the market with the right shaft of course.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
