Hey guys just wondering if anyone has a 3 wood that they would recommend hitting off the tee? On my course we have around 4 holes that are too short for a driver and as much as I love my 910F, I am not a fan of using it off the tee. So I am looking for a 3 wood that I can hit off the tee and get good distance and also has a nice feeling when you hit it. Thanks!

Most of the new ones have larger heads that make tee shots easier. I'd look into TaylorMade, Adams, and Callaway specifically.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Thanks for the reply! I know the new Taylormade RBZ stage 2 are suppoesed to be very long so I will probably give those a shot.

I just bought an Xhot 3W yesterday. It is ridiculously long and easy to hit. Highly recommended you demo it as well.

Alright guys thanks for all the recommendations. Since I work at my local country club I got to hit the new RBZ today and it was ridiculous. Im anxiously awaiting for the club to receive the new X-Hots! Thanks for all the recommendations, I appreciate it! And on a side note has anyone hit the new AMP Cell clubs? Our club does not carry Cobra clubs anymore but they look pretty nice.

I was going to recommend the Cobras. I have Cobra woods, an older S2 driver and S3 3w and 7w. I love the 3w off the tee or on the fairway. The new Amp feels great but I'm not ready to upgrade yet. But when I am I'll definetly go with a Cobra.

They look awesome and especially now that you can choose what color and all. I will probably go to a local golf shop that carries all brands and check out the new AMP's. Thanks!

I really like the X Hot off of the tee, I'm using the Pro version which is a slightly smaller head. The standard has a larger head that may be more confidence inspiring off of the tee. I believe they are going to release a slightly larger and deeper faced version as well, like the F-D model from Titleist for the player looking for a 3 wood to use as a driver replacement.

Well based on some of the replies it looks like the next clubs I have to try out are the XHot and the Amp. I have a 910F now and before I bought it I tryed out the F-d version and there wasnt a huge difference for me, so I just went the the 910F.

The Titleist 910FD or now 913FD is designed for off the tee, it's a bomber, but not great from the fairway, the RBZ is probably your best bet.

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)

I'd recommend the old RBZ over the new one for higher handicappers . The old one had a 197cc head but the new one is only 175cc so it does look smaller at address. It's purely a confidence thing for me. I see a bigger head against the ball and am happier I'm going to make good contact.

Plus you can pick up one quite cheaply at the moment as they've just released the new one!

Maybe the RBZ, et al, would be a good choice for some people. But I picked up one of those FTiZ 13* 3 woods off of Rockottom a few months ago... whoa- what a great 3 wd off the tee. Especially into the wind- I hit a very high ball with the driver and in the wind it will balloon more times than not. The FT would drive out and roll with a much more penetrating ball flight, getting back more distance overall. My regular 3wd (15*) is better for fairway use and first cut shots. The FT is also much more workable for some reason- I am able to fade or draw pretty easily depending on the shot. Just figured I would put that out there for some folks who might be on a budget and can't 'swing' the RBZ and the like. And- as a bonus- it will the perfect club for a certain troublesome hole that requires a specific length off the tee to make the corner, but NOT go through the fairway and into that new trap they put in a few years ago. (sharp dogleg right 6th at Islands End) The old 3 wood would generally not quite make it (usually into a prevailing wind) over the trap on the inside corner, or be too far back if I play out to the left a bit to avoid that one. This new one *should* make that carry or be long enough to get to the corner but stop before the far trap leaving an 8I or less instead of a 5 or 6 from further back if I played out left.

Today I went out and played 9 holes. I took the new RBZ stage 2 demo with me and I hit it well, not as well as I hoped. Hopefully when the new XHot comes into the pro shop I'll try that out. Also. the course is running a huge sale on all the ping I,K,and G 20's. Anyone have any thoughts or have hit one?

I've tried all three ping models and the i was my favourite. Back to the original post, personally I've found the rocketballz stage 1 to be awesome. I use the tour model with the stiff shaft and still hit it great off a tee.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
