What 3W do you play?

[enis750]

see sig
the 3w is a 13.5 w stock EXSAR Stiff shaft (plays quite stiff actually)
hit it mostly from the tee, rarely from the deck as I have a 4w i hit from 220-235 from the deck
any further than that, and im laying up

picked it up on ebay for $50 BRAND NEW shipped to me, from the bay
cant see me kickin it out of the bag anytime soon

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.

What year? Might be the shaft - mine is a 15* with their Red S shaft. That thing friggin' goes!!

I've used the original Callaway steelhead, the Sonartec 2.5, the Adams insight bul and am now using the Cleveland XLS. If you can put a good swing on it, the Sonartec is a monster ... for mere mortals I'm really liking the XLS.

Ping G5 15 degree with the blue pro launch shaft on it. I like it pretty well. Nice sound, good feel, trajectory is spot on.

Still using my 580 3wd. I have yet to find anything that can outperform it.

The MP-001 4wd was close though.

Not what you ask for, but a 3W can be harder than you thought, while the current 5W is more like a 4W was like in the old days. The 18* 909 F3 is great from tee or deck .....

[GaijinGolfer]

Have a Mizuno F-50 15* right now. All in all, I like it. Its a fairly easy club to hit well and even when I dont hit it perfect I still get a decent result. Im planning on replacing it this winter with another Mizuno, most likely an MP-630.

I'm still in honeymoon stage with my Titleist 909F3 15* FW. Definitely better than the Callaway X Tour 3 wood with steel shaft :)

So far, the only 3w I've had luck hitting consistently has been the one in my sig. I've tried two different Titleist's, a Adams, a Cleveland and a Taylor Made with no success...AT ALL! I've been able to work the ball relatively well with the Nike and at times can really get after it with a good turnout.

Good luck in your searches!

I use a Ping G15 and actually hit it better off the deck than off a tee. I use my hybrid Ping as a replacement for my 3/4 iron, but haven't found a hybrid that can give me the distance of the 3 wood.

I play a Nike Dymo2 15*, that I absolutely love(my signature says so). I played a Callaway Steelhead until a few months ago(10 years in the bag). I never thought that club would leave my bag, the 5 wood is still in there. I wanted to try some newer clubs since I have had success with a newer driver, the Nike won me over. What I like most about the Dymo, is the sole. It is shaped and deep, making it ideal for the fairway, rough, and tee. I hate fairway woods that have essentially a flat sole and shallow face. If I wanted to play a hybrid, I would get a hybrid.

Yep, best 3w I've ever used, off the tee or deck is my 909F3 15*, it worked so well I had to get the 5w too and it does just as good

[BGPro]

I play an R9 for a 3 wood and hit it very good off the deck. I also carry a burner 5w and that thing is EASY to hit high and long. I'd suggest the burner with a softer tip shaft... can't go wrong and they're cheap right now.

I play an old Callaway Bertha S2H2. It will be quite a long time before that club comes out of my bag. It has the most predictable ball flights of any club in my bag and decent distance too. I also had it shortened ( i'm only 5'4" ) which likely helps the control and predictability.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I may have to go try another F3 but with different shafts.
