Do I really Need a 3 wood?

[mrobbie]

I always toy with the idea of adding a 3 wood. I have a distance gap between driver and 5 wood. I keep thinking of a Titleist 904, but then as I am not 100% happy with the 905R I talk myself into waiting a year then getting a new diver, with a 3 at the same time.

At the courses I play at the moment, I don't find myself with distances that require a 3 wood. On occasion on a par 5, but that is few & far between.

I also love my Warbird 5 wood - got given it from a mate years ago. I know it is a stock shaft (grey - so RCH90?) but I don't know if it is reg or firm. If I knew I would hunt down a 3 or 3+ to match!

I'm a big fan of using what works, if by not having a 3 wood, you are using better course management then by all means keep sticking to what you have.

It really boils down to this - you only

I totally agree with both these posts. Finding a 3 wood you're confident with is a long and sometimes frustrating endeavor. It can take almost as long as finding a putter you love. I don't believe you need a 3 wood but if you go look for one, my advice is that you get one that matches your driver closely. If you get a 3 wood that is a lot different than your driver, what I found in the past is that I started having difficulty with both driver and 3 wood and that's no fun.
