need a 3woo

[Boeing777]

I'm looking to replace my g10 3 wood. I'm not to happy with it, i swing around 95-100mph. Any good ideas? I just don't get the distance out of it i like. I have to swing for fence to get it to go.

Surely you'd be better going for accuracy as a premium with your 3-wood?

What shaft do you have in the G10? I've been searching for the "perfect" fairway woods and finally settled on the G10s with UST shafts as they work well for me. I played Callaway X fairway, Cleveland Launcher, Cobra LD, and it just about everything else out there on a range and the G10s were the longest and most solid feeling for me.

I realize everybody is different so I'm not suggesting that equipment won't help, but to be honest I found more in the difference in shafts then the actual club. My Launcher is pretty long, but with the stock yellow fit shaft in Stiff it balloons the ball for me. I have no doubt with another shaft it will become a better club for me.

try the nike sq2 or the dymo2. with a proforce v2 shaft

you should hit many different ones to see which club works best for you. I have a similar swingspeed and i don't expect to hit my 3 wood more than 220 yards off the tee/ 210 off the deck. that should be a decent distance even though i managed to pick up 15 yards when hitting the titleist 909 F2. this is a nice FW so you might want to test it out. Cobra makes forgiving woods but so do most of the other manufacturers. it's just a matter of finding the one you like the best. Also think about different shafts as most posts above mention.
Hope this helps

R9......very solid fairway wood

Are you wanting a 3wood to tee off with or to hit of the deck or both.
If your listed index (35) is accurate, I would not be hitting a 3 wood off the deck--too much risk vs reward at that index to hit a 3wood off the turf.

[Boeing777]

I guess i need to update my index, it's now an 18. But i'm looking to hit the 3 wood of the tee and deck. But i've been told to try to avoid the deck because it's much more difficult. I guess what i'm looking for is an 220yrd club off the deck. Maybe that will help, i just don't get along with my 3wood.

Aren't we all...

Being consistant from that type of distance is really tough, especially off the turf. I'm confident with my hybrid from the fairway or rough, but beyond that I get some pretty inconsistant results. Getting fit for the proper club may help, but the bottom line is that what you're asking for is one of the toughest shots to hit consistantly.

I don't know what your current distances are like or how well you hit your irons, but the Mizuno MP FLI HI 2 iron is really nice off the deck and not very hard to hit at all. Its easier for me to hit than hybrids and fairway metals.

love the diablo 3 wood. LOVE it.

[uttexas]

220yds off the deck---if you like hybrids try a 17 degree hybrid. I have a Nikent rdx 17* 2H for that distance (since purchasing it my 3wood has stayed in the garage)

[Boeing777]

i have the g15 23, 20, and 17 hyrbids, and i really don't hit that 17 very well. I use the 23 and 20 the most. I just dont like the low ball flight has in my 3 wood. I cant seem to get the ball up high with that 3 wood.

I would not go out and buy a new 3 wood and I will tell you why.
The 3 wood is one of the hardest club to hit especially off the fairway, so any flaws in your swing will show up when you are trying to hit this club.

I have been playing with my 3 wood for about 3 years and today was the first day that I really started to hit this club well.

I would recommend improving your swing so that you can learn to hit your 3 wood better. If you go out and buy another 3 wood you will hit the three wood with the same swing and not to the best of your ability.

[Boeing777]

Well, that was a pretty intresting reply. Guess i'll be working on my swing. Thanks for the input guys.

[seattlemudder]

I would try an Exotics CB or CB2 3 wood - you can't go wrong...

For us high-cappers, I think this is good advice. I am still working on the 3W off the deck; it is high risk (banana ball), high reward (240-250 if caught well) for me. Nine times out of ten, I'd much rather use a 19* hybrid (Adams A4) for a pretty consistent 220 off the deck and wedge the rest of the way (followed by a three-putt

)
