Hello Everyone, I'm looking to purchase a 13* 3 wood and would like one that plays very well from the deck and tee as I will be using it for both. I'm looking at old and new clubs and wandering if the new is much longer or forgiving? The clubs I'm looking at are the Warbird,Big Bertha 2004,X tour 08 and the Diablo Edge Tour. Thanks , Sand_Man

My favorite club is my original Callaway Big Bertha 5-wood. Can't go wrong with a club you have confidence in.

I've used the Warbird and 2004, not a fan of either of them from the tee as they have smaller faces. They are great from the rough as they both have the traditional "Warbird" sole plate. But like I said, I think you can do better if you are going to be using it a lot from the tee.

I have used the Warbird and the X from 2006. I have also used a BB Ti from 2005 16* 3W. I like the 16* as it has a huge face,

the x is very small and not so good for me from the tee. I liked the Warbird better than the X. PS - The Warbird is for sale if you are interested. I don't have the game to warrant a 13* 3+ anymore.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
