I think you would find a lot of pros have had their 3w in the bag for a while- they find one that works and are reluctant to change.
Mine is a R7 steel head- it's the second best club in my bag-after my putter.

In my research on other forums about this subject, people always bring up the Nike T-60 as being a classic, as well as Sonartec SS-3.5, which I ordered off ebay the other day. I'm excited to give it a try!

Another vote for the Ping G10, i just replaced my HiBore XLS 3 wood with a Ping G10 4 wood, no distance loss and a perfect trajectory, very solid at impact... love it. Got it second hand with a prolaunch red for $100 which is even better :)

Hey guys whats your favorite fairway wood, 3w etc?

Callaway's Diablo Edge Tour is absolutely the best 3 wood ever made. Hands down, no doubt about it. I played with a kid in a tournament last week who has the same 3 wood, he had the same opinion of it as well. It was like we were two people speaking the same. Anyhow, get this 3 wood! I seriously hit the thing like a missle. The ball rockets off the clubhead! I can hit the thing 270 off the tee and have caught it a few times 270 from the fairway as well. Absolutely unbelieveable performance. Thank you Callaway! http://www.callawaygolf.com/Global/e...rwayWoods.html

I have a 9 wood that I like for a specific shot: low trajectory, ballooning at the end, and dropping with just a little roll.

I really have confidence and enjoy hitting my Nike SQ Dymo 2 5 wood. Its the square head which I usually don't like and a regular flex, which I usually don't like, but this club is straight down the pipe everytime and I can almost always hit a good shot with it no matter the lie. Not only my favorite fairway wood, but my favorite club in my bag

The Dymos are great.

I am physically incapable of hitting any 3 Wood produced after 1994. They go low, short, or sideways for me, which is why I play a couple of ancient Callaways that are probably buyable (if you can still find them, used, in a pro shop or on Ebay) for $11 each.

Callaway steel head plus, three wood is by far my favorite. I have a steel shaft in it with a little added weight. I always bring it to demo days to compare it to something newer and this club always makes it back into the bag. I can find three woods that are longer and run forever, but this club in the best for length and soft landings. I also have the same set-up in a five wood that I use when I take out my 2 iron.

    • So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

    • Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
    • Thank you, currently I only had the 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 irons in the bag. I was never finding myself in a situation to use the 4 and 5 so I dropped those a while ago. The 60W is what I've been practicing with the most in the back yard, but that's only with short chipping. I don't think I've ever practiced hitting my wedges at 80% - 100% apart from yesterday. Maybe I should be doing that more. Generally I would be using a 9 iron if I was out about 75 yards or so. I am not really sure I understand your mention of the 60W and 3H. Aren't these going to be giving me completely different results? Unfortunately I am not able to adjust the loft on the hybrids I have. I looked into the Shot Scope H4 you suggested and this seems really neat and handy, however I am struggling to understand how it works. Am I correct in assuming it doesn't track the ball distance until you hit the ball a second time? Say I drive from the tee and walk up to my ball, tag the next club and hit the ball. Is it at this point when I tag my next club while standing next to my ball that is knows the distance? Thank you, I am going to give the local shop a call and check their prices and see what they can offer.
    • Do you know what their handicaps are? The handicap system isn't perfect and given the higher variance from higher handicaps, I think low handicap players would be expected to win maybe 60% of their matches? I'm not exactly sure what that number is and it will vary with the handicap difference, but if they're generally very low handicaps, then they might be at 60% likely to win a game. Given it's 16 vs 16, that's a lot of games to win. If it's 60%, then that's around an 80% chance that they'll win a given match. At 80% chance of winning, 21 wins in a row is about 1 in 108 times. Pretty unlikely, but not unheard of. It's pretty sensitive to what that individual win percentage is too. If it's 65%, then 21 wins is about 1 in 9. If it's 55%, then 21 wins is 1 in about 5,700. Clearly it's not as simple as this because that win likelihood is going to change match to match as they play lower handicap teams or higher handicap teams, but I don't think it's a "yes they're cheating" thing at all.
