Are 3 wood heads getting smaller??

[kleraudio]

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.

Yea I read some reveiews on it and everyone had good things to say about it. I got it for like 40 bucks brand new. Cant wait to use it Saturday.

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.
