I've been looking at new 3 woods myself. At this point I'm still undecided, but the choice will likely come down to either the Titleist 906F4 or the Bobby Jones Fairway. Both of them have smaller heads than most fairway woods on the market today. As much as I lover the Burner driver, the Burner Fairways are just too big for my tastes.

I'm actually leaning a bit towards the Jones. It's consistently rated as a top performer out of the rough.

as of now i have the Taylormade R5 three wood and have really been noticing that i am not hitting it quite the distance that i need, lately i have been hitting my 19* hybrid as far as my 15* 3-wood

I have used quite a few > i have resorted back to my T'Made V-Steel on many occasions, but, as the crown on the v-steel is dented slightly, i more often than not keep my r7 15deg.

definately the v-steel is a classic, much like the Ping g5.

Ive got an old Callaway warbird 3+ steelhead, i take it in and out of my bag depending on the course i play... it may be old but man it is long and easy to hit

I agree that in this arena some older models remain realistic options against the current crop.

I still use an old Burner Bubble (first generation). As you'll remember the red paint came away badly and mine is now nearly silver all over but it remains such a fine club. Always a safe bet from the tee and very eady to pick up off the fairway. I tend to avoid woods from rough but this could do it. You'd probably pick one up for under $25 on ebay. A definite bargain!

You still can buy brand new in the wrapper V-Steels at tgw.com. I went ahead and bought replacement V-Steels for myself. GREAT club..

    • 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.
    • 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.
