Right now I am using a Mizuno Tzoid 3 wood. The clubface is so small compared to other 3 woods that it makes it pretty hard to hit off the deck. I am looking to get a new 3 wood but would like some reccomendations on what would be easy to use off the deck and the fairway and also be easy to hit.

Thanks

I thought the CGB line of drivers and FWs from TM were some of the absolute worst clubs I have ever hit. They felt terrible and were prone to massive hooks for me. I have heard others say this as well... so I definately wouldn't get one of these without hitting it first.

I would... just go hit a bunch at Carl's Golfland and see what you like.

The CGB is also out of my price range for now. I am going to go to Carl's and try some, I was just wondering if there were any that will stand out the most and see what I want to try first.

Thanks for the replys.

nevermind
Γ’I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.Γ’

have you considered ebay? Sonartec GS Tour's are AWESOME 3 woods. and you can get em dirt cheap on ebay right now. and im another one who absolutely HATED the TM CGB line.
also, i dont know how cheap you wanna go, but Golfetail and RockbottomGolf on ebay are blowing out Tour Edge Geomax 3 woods for like $30, BRAND NEW....

If you get a chance, try the Callaway X Fairway 3 wood. I really like mine. Feels good off the fairway and sounds great. My 2 cents.

For some reason I have more trouble finding a 3 wood i like more than any other club in my bag. I've gone through 5 different 3 woods in the past 2 years. I'm actually back to using the first one I ever bought, an old King Cobra SZ :P. From my experience the 07 Burner is a good 3 wood (just a tad too light for me!)

Since you've started with a Mizuno may I suggest either the F50 or the F60, IMO these are nice easy to hit clubs.

You may also wish to try the Callaway Diablo 3 wood. It is, without a doubt, the easiest to hit 3 wood I have ever tried.

Just out of curiosity - when you say small do you mean from heel to toe? or from the sole to the crown?

I only say this because I always felt that shallow faced 3-woods are easier to hit off the deck.

I am also considering a new 3 wood and really like the design of the new Nike Dymo. The leading edge and sole are designed in such a way that I think they will be much easier to hit off turf than most other new 3 woods. I am also considing the 4 wood, which looks like it would even be easier to hit. Both models (square and regular) are nice sized and of a good design. I don't even mind the 'powerbow' on the back - it's such a dark gray that it's barely even noticable. I only have 2 issues that keep me from just buying it (at least yet):

1). Price - It's $229, which is more than I want to spend for it.
2). I hate the look of the stock shaft with the bright yellow at top - very distracting.

Sole to crown.

I also like the looks of the DYMO. I think I am going to try out all these clubs on friday. Again, thanks for all the replys.

I just changed from the Nike Dymo, to the R9. Thought R9 was kind of gimmic-e. But has smaller head and comes off hot, havn't played with the different postions either.

Also which 3 wood do you feel is easy to also hit off the tee?
Thanks
