Ditto on the previous comment - go hit a bunch of them, and pick out your favorite with the right shaft. Nothing will beat a personal fit...

although this is a good thought, its not always possible

for me, I refuse to buy the latest and greatest equipment, as i wont pay full retail thats why its good to ask opinions here (and take it w somewhat of a grain of salt) all clubs are so personal preference, but some people like the same stuff

Im digging the old school steelhead + I rehafted with a new school shaft..... I just love the sound the steelheads make when you nail one in the center of the face.

Find a store and try different ones until you find one that fits you best. You can ask 100 people and get 50 different clubs.

While the taylormade and callaway clubs are nice, I have been an Adams user from the start and I love my Tight Lies GT. Picked it up on ebay for around $30 and it never fails from the tee, fairway or rough. Yea, its not expensive and fancy, but it works and thats all that matters. It wont be leaving my bag for a long time.

I have had good experiences with the Tight Lies Adams series, as well as more recent Adams fairway woods. The Tight Lies (and others, such as Redline) are very low profile, which is nice when you are hitting off the deck.

I've been searching for a proper 3w, and believe I've settled on the Tour Edge Exotics CB1 I picked up recently. Perfect size at around 180cc, and a great compromise on face height that makes it easy to hit off the turf, but is also tall enough to hit off the tee with confidence. This thing is a cannon, I've been working out some swing issues and started hitting 3w more often and the total distance of this club is great. It has a very nice feel as well, and the stock NV shaft is a perfect match for mid trajectory that works for distance but could still land on a green if needed.

    • 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.
