I just received my golf club I ordered on ebay from rockbottomgolf. It was an Adams Insight BUL 3 wood. The head on this club is TINY. Its like the size of an old school 5/7 wood. Is this right?

I always thought that a 3 wood had a little bigger of a head?

I don't think so, though I've only had a couple and they're about that size. BTW, good choice on the BUL, I use one and I like it; its my 200-220 club.

I received mine from RBG, and that's what I said as well. Of course, the only other 3W I've used is an old generic one that I'd guess was around 300cc.

I know man the head is tiny. I guess thats the way its supposed to be. Have you used the club yet? How do you like it?

It's a great club. Mine's the strong headed one though, 12.5. I hit it a good 240+roll when solidly struck.

Great choice there. I love the overall form and shape of the head of the Insight BUL woods, which tends to set up nicely. I was actually thinking quite the opposite in terms of head size (cc). I purchased them because I thought the head was 'small' relative to what is currently on the market.

Next time your at your local golf shop, stroll on over and take a look at the fairway woods from Callaway and Taylormade. Wowsers...they're gargantuan.

Thats what I was expecting, a big club head. Oh well, I really really like the look and feel of it. Setup seems to have a *slightly* open face, but maybe its how im gripping the club.... The grip is askew, so I cant use that to set up with, which kinda sucks.

Strong headed meaning... lower loft?? This one is a 15* I believe....

Looking forward to hitting it at the range tomorrow.

Its a 4-wood, but the head of my SQ Dymo is tiny also. An old Ping Eye2 7-wood I have in the garage has a bigger head, at least twice the size, and its a persimmon head.

Fairway woods have gotten somewhat shallower, but total size hasn't increased much, especially for 5 and 7 woods. Because you may have to hit them out of less than perfect lies making them to big hurts versatility.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
