Which 3 wood?

[wrx_junki]

If you are a 20 hndcp... forget the Cleveland, Callaway and TaylorMade... go to Rockbottomgolf.com and look for the Adams LP Fairway wood. You can get it in a 13*... smaller head, lower profile and easy as pie to get in the air with good distance. On top of all that you can get it for under 50 bucks.

Hmm this isn't a bad option until I become a better ballstriker. What shaft should I be getting in stiff? The Aldila or ProLaunch?

[wrx_junki]

pick a 3 wood that's 5 to 6 degree higher than your driver

What's the reasoning behind this? Just curious.

Titleist or Nike, and even better would be the Nike hybrids. Awesome clubs there.

Taylor Made Burner Non TP version is good...it's so easy to get the ball hit up :)

I've been searching around a bit myself for a new 3 wood, too.

Of the ones listed, the G10 appeals to me the best. I will be getting the 15 degree...not the strong lofted model. I could see where the 4 wood really would appeal to you as well.

Another brand that I've heard way to much about not to demo them is Tour Edge.

I look forward to the day when I can get a smooth hitting 3 wood back in my bag.

Good luck on your hunt!!!

I'm trying to choose one of the 4 fairway woods.

Seeing that you are a 20 handicap I would think that maybe the Ping G10 would be better for you even though I have never hit it but it seems from everything I have read that it is very forgiving...on another note take a look at the

Burner (not TP). That is what is in my bag (see sig below) and it is the most forgiving 3 wood I have ever owned. It is very good off the tee as well as off the turf...just my 2 cents...

I didnt vote. Who cares what other people like or choose. If i were you I would thoroughly test all the major brands and determine which one suites you best and performs the best for YOUR swing!

I would have to agree. I use a 904F, but it is a 4 wood.

It's from Japanese Golf Digest.

I think the reason is that 13* 3w isn't very easy to launch. If you don't swing fast enough, your carry will actually be shorter than a 15* 3w. So if you can launch and carry the longest with a 7.5 or 8.5 degree driver, you wouldn't have any problem with 13* 3w. For average men with a 9.5 or 10.5 driver, 15 is probably more ideal This is my guess. Another possible reason could be that you are launching with your driver @13 to 14 degree. With a 13* 3w, you are also launching the ball 13*. Then you have two clubs that go the same distance or at least very close. If you use a 10.5 driver and have no problem with a 13* 3 wood, then go for it! Try it before you buy.

I'm really contemplating the Adams LP but not sure which shaft would fit me best. The ProLaunch or Aldila NV. The price is so cheap that I can use this for a couple years until I'm ready to invest in a better 3-wood.

I am stuck also. I have an older Titleist 975F 13.5* Pro Trajectory 3-wood and an older Titleist 975F 16.5* Pro Trajectory 5-wood. I am looking to consolidate these two clubs by getting a newer 15* 3-wood.

I need some advice on which one to get that is out there. I have looked at the Nike Sasquatch2 and the TM r7 Draw because of their prices. I do have a slight slice as well, just another reason for the draw. I just don't want to get it and then in a month or two I won't have that slice due to practice and then i have to set up for the draw.

I am a higher handicap player due to not enough time to practice and I would really appreciate some advice. Should I just go to the pro shop and test them all out? Sorry for not starting a new thread, but I am being hit by the "newbie" stage by just registering. Thanks ahead of time!

I have a Cobra Speed Pro X from last year that I like a lot. It's got a fairly shallow face so it's easier for me to hit off the deck than the G10 or Burner. Just my 2 cents.

Personally I like the Aldila... The Grafalloy should give you a higher ball flight. I have it in the Aldila shaft but have since upgraded to the Cleveland XLS 13*... It is alot harder to hit. Im still not as consistant with it than I was the Adams but I get more distance out of it. It must be the Fujikura shaft.

I am new to this site and just have a few questions. I am not a great golfer but I love the game. I bought a set of clubs last year nicklaus cd2 irons and I dont like the hybrids. I was not fitted and I was thinking of going and getting fitted and purchase some cobra fp II irons. I play around 3-4 times a week. Just for fun and play in some scramble tourn. but I want to get better. Should I go and get fitted or just keep playing with the ones I have. I am 6'3 and my iron shots seems to shoot right most of the time. I have heard differeent things about getting fitted. I cant aford to go to lessons all the time but I can go to golf first or dicks and get fitted. any sug. William

You might be able get your nicklaus fitted (not sure about bending cast irons)or get a new set.

You might need longer shafts. Shooting right could be your clubs or your swing. Fitting without buying a new set will probably cost the same as a one hour private lesson. If you buy a new set, it's usually included.

I think I will try the Adams LP 13* since its only $40-50

[Righty to Lefty]

Definately hit as many clubs as you can and if you have never hit a Tour Edge Exotics fairway wood then you should definately hit them for sure. You can get the CB1 for about 180 bucks and they are probably the best fairway woods out there in my opinion. The 3 wood could very well run your driver out of the bag! Hit as many clubs as you can and you'll know immediately which one is the best for you.

[JYB]

get the Ping. It has a nice feel to it out of different lies. 15º to go with ur driver.

[WPBarrett]

I have a Big Bertha 3W with steel shaft. The club is my magic wand. When I cant hit my driver, the BB 3W saves the day. It is my favorite club in my bag.

[clemsontiger]

I use Titleist, so I had to vote for them. I want to try the 906F4 anyways.
