My current 3 wood is a XPC (I think was made by golfsmith) its probably 10 years old and has a steel shaft. I would love to get something more modern and would be easier to hit. I found on the internet a hippo for around $39 and Nickent 3DX pro for $69.99. It comes with a Aldila VS Proto shaft. This is about as much as I want to spend. Thanks for any suggestion

Why not an Adams Redline RPM there like $60-$70... You may even be able to get a Cleveland launcher from 06 for like that price too... my 3-wood was only $70... I bought it at Wal-Mart and just re-shafted it...

If your willing to go 2nd hand you can normally pick up the cleveland launchers (same as my signature) for around $40 from 3Balls which is fantastic value for a great club.

You think the Adams Redline RPM or the Clevland launcher would be better than the Nickent? The have the Adams GT 500 for $49.99, Are there a difference between the redline RPM and the regular RPM. Thanks

Are there much difference between the 2006 launcer and the Launcher Ti. I also checked 3 balls and they are out of these at this time. Callaway has them for around $50.

I'd buy used before getting something new that is really cheap personally. That is, unless you hit the really cheap new one well.

Used Corvette or new Cavalier? Get the point?

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
