I'm looking to add a 3W and a 5W to my bag. The local golf shop has an Adams Ovation 3W and 5W for $60 each. Does anyone have any experience with these?

I'm open to pretty much anything. I've actually never used fairway woods, so I'm open to any brand. I'd like to keep them under $50 each, if possible, just in case I find that I'm not able to hit them yet.

In my Grom bag:
Driver: R7 Burner 10.5*
Woods: Big Bertha '04 (4/5,7)
Irons: a3OS (3H, 4H, 5H, 6-PW)
Wedges: SM (52*, 56*)Putter: Detour 2

I really like the Callaway 04 Big Bertha woods. They can be had for $50 or less if you look. They were one of Callaways most extensive offerings. You could get any thing from a 3 wood to I think a 9 wood with + woods available too. Very easy to hit from all lies and accurate too. I don't list it in my sig, but my 04 BB 4+ is probably my favorite wood. My "golf disease" keeps me trying new clubs though so it rotates in and out.

R9 4 wood
Irons - 07 X Forged 4-PW
Wedges - X Forged 50, 54, 58 Vokey Spin Milled 64Ball - Tour i Gamer V2

I briefly played with an Adams Ovation 3 wood - it sounded worse than the square drivers did when they first came out

    • 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.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
