Titleist vs. Callaway fairway woods

[Chubbs]

How do people feel one about each? Which do you prefer? I'm weighing 3 options for a new 3-wood: Titleist 909f2, Callaway FT , or the Callaway X Fairway . The 3-wood is an often-used club in my bag, as I enjoy hitting it off the tee when the driver is being a dork. So I want to get something that's good off the tee as well as off the deck.

Any opinions would be great. I'm typically a Titleist homer, but I've always hit Callaway 3-woods for some reason. I like the feel of all three clubs (although I've only hit them off the turf pad at the range).

I really like the 909f2. The face angle on them is sweet.

The closed face on my current 3wood can be aggravating sometimes.

The 909f2 gets the ball up on a nice trajectory for me with their version of the Diamana Blue.

The sound/feel is nice as well.

I don't have any experience with Callaway woods since the Steelhead days. I'm sure those ft's are probably
nice, too.

I hit my buddies Titelist 3 wood the other night....theres a reason why my Callaway has been in the bag for 5 years.

Not one of your choices but worth a look is the 906F2, LOVE mine to death, can only imagine what the 909's are like

Which one of the 906 series was the "higher launchers" if I dare use that term?

For what it's worth, I replaced my 15' FT Tour with a 13' 909F3 and haven't looked back. The 909F3 is a far better club in every aspect (for me anyway).

I prefer the old school Callies. Check my sig.

I love my Callaway X Hot 3 wood off the deck or off the tee and have confidence in it.

...I'm weighing 3 options for a new 3-wood: Titleist 909f2,

I have a Callaway X Tour 3W w/R flex shaft. Tour models come in 13* and 15*, and have slightly taller/deeper face than comparable woods. Stock shaft is Fuji E360 with a midkick/flexpoint. Good off fairway or tee; w/ deeper face I don't have frequent pop-ups off tee I had with old low-profile 3W. Can get a hot shot with a slight draw.

Also, you might try an X Hot 3W; has larger head, and 44" shaft. These are rather hard to find new. | Not familiar with FT woods.

I bought a FT Tour 13 degree 3 wood just recently and I love it! I got it from Callaway used for about half the price of a brand new one, and it looks new to me! Have only hit it indoors at one of the local simulators but hope to hit it outdoors when it warms up a bit.....I bought a FT 2H at the same time; a great match to go with the 3 wood.

If I've always hit a 15-degree 3wood, would the 15.5' 909F2 be a drastic difference in terms of ball flight or results?

I'm still hitting my old Callaway Warbird 3-wood. It's really solid still, but it's just getting close to upgrade time.

Thank you.

Aggreed i had a warbird 3+ in my bad for about 8 years, fantastic club.

I'm gonna have to vote with the Callaway lovers...I have Callaway Warbird 3,5 and heaven woods...all with upgraded prolaunch shafts that i regularly switch out with my hybrid/cleveland fairway...reliable and i think still one of the best lines of clubs to ever come out IMHO.

For what its worth I bought a Titleist 906f4 last year and struggled with it. It was a bit of a rash purhase really as I was looking for something to hit off the tee and therefore the 906f2 would probably have been a better choice.

This season I have gone back to a Callaway Steelhead III - it remains a wonderful club.

Likely a negligible difference. Nether Titleist nor Callaway have tight enough tolerances for that 1/2 degree to make much of a difference.
