3 Wood Shafts

[rod7515]

Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start?

Thanks Rod

Without seeing your ballflight or swing, and those are big gaps!, Sounds like you need more loft on your 3W. If any of your 3Ws are adjustable, add more loft and see what happens. Without enough swing speed, a 15* 3W may not carry very far. You might need 17-19* to expand that from your 7W. I’m not a fitter, but have sat in on plenty of fittings. Finding a head that works, then fine-tuning the shaft will yield the most benefits in my opinion. 
 

Good luck!
