  1. 1. Which 3 Wood to play this season...

    • Keep the V-steel and have it reshafted to tighten shot dispersion

    • Buy the HiBore 3W fitted with the proper shaft

Hello all,
I'm currently playing a TM V-steel 3w which I'm satisfied with, but I think I could do better. I've had a lot of luck with my HiBore driver since I got the right shaft in it, and I've heard that the head design is even more effective in the fairway woods. The thing is I'm primarily looking for something I can hit off the deck consistently, I have a certain amount of this with the V-steel, but at times it could be a bit more forgiving. I'm really not worried about workability, I'm still learning to do that with my mid to short irons. Any thoughts?

I think you should keep the TM and possibly add a utility wood to your bag. The question is when you "mishit" your 3-wood. If it is because of lies, then add an assett to your bag and make decisions based on your lie. If you just occasionaly mishit the 3-wood you have, then I would reccommend working on your preshot routine. Mishits usually give better feedback than great shots. But, if you are just looking for something new...Have at it, then give a product review in sandtrap.com.

Hello all,

LSU,

I voted to get the HiBore but only because I know how many clubs you went through last year! I'm really no help at all...

LSU,

LoL!! I knew there was no way I could post here and not at least catch a little flack on ND's exceptional performance in the Sugar Bowl

I missed it here As for all those clubs, I have no idea what you're talking about, I only bought new shoes last year... Wait, I can't say that and keep a straight face. Hey Al, been meaning to talk to you about practice facilities up here in the great, white north. When I was in the south metro, I'd go to Breamar's dome, anything like that for us up here? The carpet in the family room is getting a bit worn Thanks for the feedback everyone, based on the comments, I'll probably just drop and NVS75 in the V-Steel. JohnBoy, I've already got 2 hybrids in the bag and I completely agree with you, they are incredible assests, best clubs I bought last year wait, I only bought shoes last year right Al? Aquacooled, thanks for the feedback on the V-Steel's staying power, there certainly is something about it that that makes it hard to put down.

    • Day 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe.
