Another questions for the board. I am currently playing a very old 3 wood, an Adams Tight Lies 3 (they old solid grey head). I am going to go tonight after work and hit a few different 3 woods, and possibly go ahead and upgrade with that club. I hit the Adams decent, but was thinking that an upgrade may help some. A couple I am interested in are the Callaway X and the Mizuno F60. I know the launch monitor will help tell me some, but I was just curious as to how much change I may see switching from this older club? Will there be any noticeable distance change, forgiveness, etc.? My thought is that the newer clubs (the one that fits my swing best) should probably a little longer but I was not sure. Anyone know for sure? Thanks!

personally i think you will FEEL a big difference. not sure about results though. Id also give the Mizuno MX-700 a shot too if i were you. I have a Mizuno F-60 4 wood (its not listed in my signature) that i use sometimes (just recently bought it) and i love it. i just wish they made the MX-700 in a 4 wood or i would've gotten that. a buddy of mine uses the Callaway X 3 wood and kills the ball with it. great sound too

I tried the Callaway X and the F60 last night at golftown on their simulator. For me the Callaway was a better result and I was hitting it great. Lucky for me it was also the cheaper option so I grabbed it.

Driver: HiBore XLS (9.5*, stiff, gold shaft)
Irons: FP II 4-GW
Wedges: mp R series 56/13 588DSG 60*

It's a bit expensive but the 909f2 is an AMAZING 3 wood IMHO.

I bought a mizuno F60 at a golf expo not too long ago, and i love it. It's face is a bit less shallow than most and its suuuper easy to hit off the deck. I normally use it for off tee on shorter holes. It's perfect and easy to hit.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
