What 3W do you play?

[davbrucas]

I am looking to get a new 3W soon and need some suggestions. My current one is in my sig...I hit it a ton off the tee but I dont like it off the ground. What club do you feel is the easiest to hit off the deck with a nice, high trajectory? Thanks.

The trajectory depends more on the shaft than the head. The new 909 titleist FW's launch the ball pretty high from the deck though, though.

I have the 909 F2 3 wood and it launches high from the deck just as DFB said. I can still work it when I'm trying to draw it / fade it / hit it low which is very important in a 3 wood (at least for me).

It's quite forgiving as well. The shaft will make the biggest difference in terms of launch angle so make sure you get one that fits the trajectory you are looking for.

I recently dropped my 3W for a hybrid. The Hybrid finally overtook my 3W yardage and is a little more versatile for me right now.

The 909's launch pretty high with the stock shafts. If you're looking for a great FW wood off the deck, these are a great option.

I have the SQ Dymo 3 wood and hit it fine off the deck, better than of the tee for me.

If anything it should be better off the deck than off the tee, that is what the Quad keel soul is meant to help with.

If it is height you are after then try a hybrid as said.

Ping Rapture 3wood 14* Titanium. First time playing with the club yesterday and its definitely more accurate then my driver in terms of narrow fairways...It was as long as some of my friends driving distance. Very happy with it!

I play a cleveland launcher with a gold fit on...will be exchanging it soon with an R9...it's great off the deck but is lacking in distance/feel.

When I asked this question, may raved about the Mizuno F-60, but it's hard to find used. I never got to try it, but always heard how easy it is to hit of the deck and tee.

I went for the 906F4 on my sig. I found it to be the easiest to hit off the deck of all the ones I tried. It has very similar stats as the new 909F2...It's really a great 3w!!!! My only issue is that is not very forgiving on the rough (thick stuff) die to the shallow face. I also limit the use primarily to short distances off the tee (230-240) when hazards are present, which I cannot clear with the driver, other than thatI use my 3h alot!!!!

I have the Titleist 909F3, which gives me a bit lower launch, which is what I was looking for in the 13* strong loft I got.
I also have a Titleist 909F3 in 18* that is awesome. Also have the 980F, which is a much higher launch that the Titleist 909F3 IMO.

My current 5 wood has a steel shaft with stiff flex. Ball launches low like a 3 wood but has more forgiveness.

[davbrucas]

Yup, I know the shaft controls the trajectory. Just wanted some suggestions on what clubs to demo so I dont spend so much time trying to find the right one. I had the 909F3 for about a day...didnt like it but it was more the low launch shaft.

909 f3. solid club.. great off the tee as my driver substitute. good off the turf as well. wrote this right as u posted your dislike of the f3.. i like it a lot.. but i like a flatter ball flight with a 3W

What shaft did you have in it, the VooDoo? I found that both of the stock shafts hit the ball pretty high. The 909F2 will launch a bit higher than the F3 if that's what you are looking for. Otherwise the Callaway FT and FT Tour is a pretty high launching 3 wood, even with low launch shafts.

Heck, I dont even remember which shaft was in it. Likely stock...I may give it anther try with a different shaft.

I just got a SQ 2 with a blueboard and I like how that feels. Ive read a lot about people enjoying the Ping 3 wood and the Tour Exotic.

I had a similar problem hitting my 3wood of the deck and recently went to a 17* 4 wood by callaway the ft tour. I can control the trajectory with this club more and it gaps well on the courses I play. I then drop into a 3 hybrid at 20* and then a four iron. My old combo was 3 wood 5 wood 4 hybrid and then five iron, I haven't looked back since making the switch, the 4 wood off the tee is still plenty long on the tighter driving holes. I found the callaway fairway woods to be easier to control than the taylor mades I demoed the same day.
