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.

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
