Unless you're a low single digit handicapper I don't recommend a 13* 3 wood-if you ever plan on using it off the fairway.  You should have no problem hitting a 14.5* or 15* 3 wood 220-240 yards.

Personally I am not (never was) a big fan of the 3W ....... I have had quite a few over the years, tried several lofts till I recently got a 13.5 909 F2 and I can hit it with ease of the fairway ...... I must say I took some lessons and today I average about 210 meter (about 235 yds including roll) with it from the fairway, but I only use it from a decent lie. If your technique is sound, hitting it is no problem, don't expect a lot of difference between a 13* and a 15*

The 13* three wood is a tough club unless you are very accomplished and have a higher swingspeed.  For most of us mortals, the 14.5* would suit the bill as a little higher launch angle would get us fairly similar results and it would be easier to hit.  I tried the Adams offering in both in a launch monitor and found that my Cally 15* had more carry than both of them at 245.  The lower loft was at 240 but not as consistent, the higher loft was within 5 yards but more consistent.  My Cally won due to the comfort level and the shaft configuration.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
