you may rest in peace, oh mighty knight, since your quest shalt be an easy one!

V-steels dropped in prices like crazy since the r5 and r7 introductions By the way - if I remember correctly - iacas has some good experiences with the r7 fairway wood. I believe they come in steel version as well. You might want to try them out before you settle on 2 years old technology (like I did ).

Personally I love my Taylor Made Supersteel 3 Wood... but others include any callaway 4+ Woods!

I was very impressed with the Taylor Made 580XD 3 Wood. Where I work, we still have some for sale that have been fitted with Fujikura shafts. Possibly the most crisp sounding 3 wood I've ever hit. However, I haven't been able to play it on a course yet, only hit it in our net at work. I've hit both the R7 TP and ST Fairway woods at work as well both felt solid and gave me confidence at address.

I only tried the Fusion FT-3 driver, so I don't have a real opinion on the Fusion Fairway woods.

I agree with the other poster who liked the NVG2 Fairway woods, although I disliked the driver.

(Hope my boss doesn't read this thread, as we're not supposed to be hittin' clubs on the clock )

of course my favourite 3 wood is an 16 degree Syard..work well in any situation..sometimes I tee of with my 3 wood instead of my driver....specially in a tight fairway

My favorite 3-wood was an old Titleist PT knockoff I got with set of DCI clones (all I could afford after college!). I used it to tee off for 5-6 years because I couldn't hit a driver to save my life. I sold it this year (with the rest of the clones) to a buddy and have been hitting a TM 200 series 3-wood which I really like but I do regret (a little) about getting rid of the PT clone.

For me was my old Nike T-40 steel shafted 3-wood. I have a TM R5 and don't use it most of the time b/c I don't have the same confidence off the deck as I did with the Nike.

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂 
    • Day 316 - 2025-08-13 Mental rehearsals today for about 15 minutes as I'm kinda screwed up in some way. 😞
