Need some advice for selecting a strong 3wood to use from tee (and fairway) on those days when my driver swing has deserted me or the course is just tight.

I've wanted to try Adams Speedline series so here are my choices....

Speedline F11 titanium 13.5

Speedline F11 13.5

Speedline LP 13.5

new Speedline Fast 12

The new XTG is just plain out of my price range....

Anyone have experience with these ??? Suggestions?

From used prices it would seem the LP is the bargain in the batch...

But, Since the LP launches 'higher' would it be more like my current TE Exotics 3wood?

I want distance, accuracy, and plenty of roll out.

Thanks

BTW the northeast courses have summer well... so far a balance of heat & rain....

I can only imagine the disasterous shape the courses in drought stricken states must be in...

I hope you get some relief soon!

I can't really help you out except to say that I really like my Burner 08 3W, but where on the cape do you live?

Live NY near Saratoga...

Vacation home in Chatham...

On Cape golf at Cranberry Valley...

formerly played Captains Courses...

Captains just got too expensive and a bit too hard...

Also play the 9 hole Seaside Links in Chatham...

9 holes in the early AM and bring  donuts home for the non golfers.

I do have a guy I play with regularly who still uses burner 5 wood same era...

Nothing against TM, wanted to try the new 'velocity slot' technology...

Ah cool.  I spend a week in Brewster every summer.  Played Captains a few times with the juniors $5 after 5pm deal.  Turning 18 next year is going to suck...

My driver is the best club in my bag, so lucky for me I don't worry about hitting that one bad, I mainly use my 3wood (910F) on holes where driver is not needed.  I would suggest looking at the 910F, but if the price is too steep, try the Ping I20, good value.  Stay away from the RBZ if possible, I've heard bad reviews.

Titleist 913D2 9.5 (UST VTS 65)

Titleist 913F 15 (Diamana S+)

Titleist 913H 19 (Diamana S+)

Titleist 714 AP2 (4-PW) (DG XP-95)

Titleist Vokey SM5 (52,56,58) (DG XP-95)

Ping Anser 2 Classic

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
