I am in the market for a new 3w, thinking 15degree. My question to anyone out there who has hit one, Can i just order it with the stock motore shaft? is it good ? also what ss would you say the stiff and xstiff are taylored to. I hear tm shafts are known to be lower on the flex scale then others.

Mate I have the 15* 3 wood with the stock shaft, and it hits bombs. i can hit it pretty much on the toe, and it still gets out there. In Australia, they don't tend to offer custom shaft options, other than like the titleist fitting cart. Even though this shaft worked pretty well for me i'd say(like any shaft) for others it wouldn't.

my coach told me that you should use the whippiest shaft that you

can handle , and dont buy S or XS based on swingspeed alone. i know a guy who has your average 100 mph ss with his driver, yet he uses a senior flex 3 wood because he can absolutely hammer it. but the most important thing is, he can control it also

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
