Thirteen Degree 3 Wood

[pmclamb]

I am upgrading my T-40 3 wood to the T-60, I have the T-60 5 wood and i hit it almost as far as my T-40. I now have the 15 degree version and was wondering how much different it is to use a 13 degree. I know that lower loft increases the chance for side spin and what not, but how much harder is it to get the ball up in the air. T-60's are relatively easy to hit, and I wanted a little more distance out of my 3 wood. Does anyone hear use a 13 degree? Used to have one? or just hit one on the range before?

I'm assuming you're asking about hitting your 3-wood (at 13°, c'mon now, it's a 2-wood folks! ) off the fairway. They're still pretty small-headed, so it's usually not too difficult. Just make sure you have the swing speed to get it airborne and with some good backspin or else you'll hit a low shot that doesn't go very far.

Try the club out. If you have no problems hitting your 15, the 13 won't be any different, I bet.

I use to play a Titlesit 975F 13.5* (Stong 3), switched to a 16.5* (Strong 4) to fill the gap between my wood and 2 iron. I hit the 13.5* very well, one of my favorite clubs but just hit it to far.

I still hit a Titliest 13.5 degree W/ Grapholoy prolite 35s and love it.Great for tough tee shot fairly easy to hit off the deck.

How far you hitting what you have? Is the new club going to help you score better? maybe you could spend the money on new wedges or putter.

Golf club lofts are going the way of women's dress sizes.

I'm pretty sure that some of the latest TM offerings have a 45* PW. Well of course you're a club longer with your new irons, your 9I is actually a mislabelled 8I.

My driver is a Ping G5 13.5*, but I also carry a regular 15* 3-wood.

I hit both about 290 when I nail it.

I just have a very low trajectory on all of my shots, which is why such a high loft in my driver. But it seems to work well for me.

To each his own.
