I was thinking about getting a strong 3 wood. I have a Burner steel 15 degree with a regular flex and I think I'm getting too much spin

and not enough roll. I was wondering if anyone had a strong 3 wood that may have some insight on if you get more roll or if I should

just try a stiff flex. Thanks!

I have a 13 degree Strong-3.  It really functions more like a second driver.  I doubt that you'll experience a huge difference in spin dropping a couple of degrees.  When you say too much spin, do you just mean it isn't rolling much or you are you experiencing too much side spin as well?  What are you expecting out of your 3 wood?  How does its performance compare to your driver?  Do you want to hit it off the ground or just the tee?

Shaft flex may be the culprit.  What flex are your other long clubs?  What is your swing speed?  Are you having control problems?  There's a lot to consider.

In my  bag: 

 Diablo Octane Tour 9.5, 18  -  6DT 19 (3I Hybrid) - 

 Diablo Forged Irons 5-PW -  Tom Watson wedges 52,56,60 - 64 (generic)
