So I was in the market for a new Driver this season and tested many and in the end loved the new Titleist 910 D3, but ended up buying a slightly used Titleist 909D3 w/ Vodoo stiff, for less than $200.  I've hit the range a few times and love it.  So of course had to buy a matching 3 wood and have one coming in the mail in the Titleist F3 13degrees w/ Voodoo stiff.  (I tend to hit the ball high with a steep swing plane).  I read the comparistons and reviews and like the look of the deeper face of the f3 vs. f2.  Good reviews about hitting the f3 off the deck which is something I'd like to do a little more often from a game managment perspective... if I have a 3wood I can trust.  Last 3-4 seasons I've been playing the r7limited Driver w/ Matrix Oz Stiff and R7 3 and 5woods w/ steal s300s.  Loved the r7 driver, but had balloning issues with the 3 and 5 wood from time to time.  So I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the F3 3 wood  and I'm looking to pick up the 909 5 wood, but not sure if I should go with the f3 or F2.  Normally I'd like to try them both at the range or pro-shop, but everyplace in my hometown is sold out of the 909s.  So I need to buy before I try off ebay or an online retailer.  I see the f2 has a more shallow face and wider face.  Any suggestions if I should go with the f3 or f2 5 wood?  What things to consider?  I normally shoot low 80s off the blues on moderatley dificult tracks around Southern Wisconsin.  Also, thinking the 18 or 18.5 loft, but not sure about that.

Thanks much!

I play the 909 F3 5 wood. Have had it for almost 2 years. This is truely one of the best fairway woods ever made in my opinion. I can hit it off the deck out of the rough off the tee. It yields about 235 distance wise and it's a smaller more compact head.  You will love it. All titelist clubs are worth what you pay for them.

Well I got my f3 13degree w/ the Vodoo stiff and don't like it much at all.  Played with it on Sunday and was playing lights-out golf.  Took it out on a tight par 4 off the tee and pulled two into the woods.  Figured not the best time to try a new club anyways...so took it to the range today and the thing is just dead feeling.  ohhh well I've heard some good reviews on the f2 so maybe i'll try that one out.  Otherwise any suggestions on 3woods I'm all ears.  I'll put my r7 s300 back in the bag for the time being, but this thing is going back out on ebay.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
