I am looking for a nice 3 wood. I don't care for anything with a big sized head, but not too small as to be considered a hybrid.

I am looking at this 3 wood - http://www.titleist.com/golfclubs/fa...9F2.asp?bhcp=1

I need a 3 wood for closer shots on par 5's. All I have at the moment is a callaway mens big bertha heavenwood 2 iron hybrid.

Please tell me what you think of the titleist 3 wood in the link if you have one, and tell me others you think I should try.

Thank you! Have fun!

the current 3 wood you are looking at is an amazing club. I love mine and would reccomend it to anyone under a 9 handicap. You need to have good ball striking or else it wont benefit you.

It plays very similar to the 906 series i use now, which im very happy with. Its a very good club if your swing is consistant. Great feel as well. Its adverstised to be a workable club, but i find it isnt easy to produce a draw with the deeper faced one that you plan to buy. I usually hit a slight cut with it. It will probably be easier to work the ball with the shallowed faced f3 model, if that what your game is. But again, the f3 will be harder to hit off of the deck.

Pretty off topic, but you seriously play of a +10 and the 2H is the next step from your driver? Wow, wonder what your scores will look like once you fill that little gap at the top...

I need to trade someone the 2H MP fli hi I have for a 3 wood; I'm no good with the 2H I have curently, it's just a bit too demanding for my ballstriking...

ya the titleist 909 line is a great set of clubs. youd be hard pressed to find anything that truely out preforms the 909s.

with that said, i have the taylormade burner 3 wood and i really like it. looks great at adress, easy to hit, and i get great distance. id just suggest going to your local golf store and taking a few swings with different clubs and see which one you like best.

thanks to everyone. i'll take everything into consideration. Lefty, my scores should lower a bit with a 3 wood rather than a 2H. I am getting a lot of positive feedback from the Titleist 909 series so i will go to the nearest golf store (Alfs) and try one out if they have it.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
