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.

Tour Edge Exotics. I own the older CB2 model and it is "hot". Check 'em out they do not advertise much, but very high quality... not cheap.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
