What is the most ideal 3-wood?

[Arathel-bwcc]

I have been wondering what everyone thinks their ideal 3-wood is. Mine is either the new Cleveland Launcher or Titleist 904. They are low profile and solid clubs.

i have tried several other 15 degree 3 woods including an r7 TP, burner and 904 F and i have came back to my Taylor Made V steel.

For me, it just performs great out of the rough aswell as from the tee/fairway.

i am old school though, i have DG S300's in my woods.

If you are using it of the tee exclusively, I would say a 13-15* driver. If you are using it off the deck as well, I would say any low profile model with no less than 15* of loft and a 42.5" or less shaft.

Really I think the best 3 wood is a 4 wood. Or in my case, a strong 5 wood.

I don't see myself giving up the 906F2 in my bag anytime soon. Even when my swing is a mess it is by far the most consistent club in my bag. I have a 3 wood, a 15* Hibore XLS, but I don't carry it very often. I think this question varies for everyone of course (heck some people don't even like fairway woods!)...having said that I will be looking into the Cleveland Launcher 4 wood, but it will have to really WOW me to replace the Titleist. Even if it does wow me I may wait it out to try out the 909 fairway woods. With any of these I would stick a a proforce V2 in.

I really like my Titleist 904f which I picked up last month.

I use a 4 wood and love it. Any slight decrease in distance is more than compensated by the ease of use and improved accuracy.

I'm soon going to carry 2 3 woods. The one I have now I can CRUSH off the tee but I can't hit it to save my life off the ground, so I was thinking about checking out a 904 or the new launcher. I also want it to have a somewhat low ball flight, i like the low penetrating shots with a lot of roll when im in the fairway. When I'm on the tee I like a high draw that lands soft and gets a few yards of roll.

I like my new FT Tour. Of course, I think that it's the shaft that really makes this club.

See sig.... best fw woods on the market. IMO

Mine is what I have. A MacGregor NVG2 12.5* 3w. Easy to hit and long.

I have a Wishon 949 3 wood with a low profile and 14* of loft that I love. However I think the shaft makes a TON of difference in the three wood, as the same head with a different shaft was a stinker for me the first time I tried it.

I'd say the best 3W is the one you can hit.

The one I carry is a low profile model that works really well off the deck. I've never really tried to hit it off the tee. If I did I'd just tee the ball low, like with an iron or my hybrid. Right now though if I need something shorter than my driver off the tee I usually just use my hybrid. I can shape my hybrid shots pretty well, better than with a wood, so even though I lose some distance the added ability to work the ball makes the difference for me right now.

The best 3wood is the one that works for you. Once you find it, never let it go until you wear it down. I was never a fan of the 3wood until i hit the Ping G10 15.5*. This is baby's staying in my bag for a long time.

[Dub]

So far....my favorite 3 wood is actually my 4 wood.

[thr33]

the TM Burner 15* with the stock shaft really works well for me. I can actually hit it almost as far as my driver (~250), which probably means that I'm not hitting my driver properly!

[Lefty39]

I really like the 3 wood in my bag. It's long but leaves a nice yardage gap between it and my driver. Also I have no problem hitting it of the deck.

Just ordered a TaylorMade Burner 2008 T3 - Tour Launch, 14.5 degrees, 60gram RE-AX shaft. I've had the T5 in the bag for a few weeks on demo, it goes seriously through the air, can't wait to get the T3 now!

I had a titliest 904f till about 4 hours ago when it broke.
