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.

What's your ss ? Mines around 110-115 with a driver average should I go stiff or xstiff

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

      Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.
