I am in the process of getting a new 3 wood, and have looked at some titanium ones (i.e. - r7, Adams Insight, Macgregor NVG2, tour edge, etc.).
I would just like to know if anyone has had experience (good or bad) with titanium woods vs. steel ones. Also, which ones did you like best?

Thanks

I went with a Titanium R7 instead of the Steel 2 years ago.

Titanium is a lighter metal - so they can make the clubhead bigger without outting on weight. The R7 Ti is more forgiving, larger clubhead and wider/deeper face. So it's more forgiving and I found it launched higher that the Steel with the same shaft. I've it set to a draw which is perfect for any right to left shaping hole (I fade the ball with the driver)

I really like this Ti 3-wood but I'm looking to demo the Burner next week - I am hitting the Ti very high. I can't speak for the other ones but you can't go far wrong with a Taylormade. The R7 Ti is the most forgiving 3 wood i've hit.

I bought an old titanium Callaway Warbird 3 wood for $29 that I love. Mine actually says "Ruger Titanium" on it.

I almost cried when I busted my Tour Edge Bazooka Jmax Titanium 3w. It was a rocket launching mini-driver, couldn't find another one. I'm using a Bridgestone J33 with speeder 757 now, but I still miss the TE.
