My 3 wood is a Taylormade burner, old school bubble shaft. When its pure I hit about 200-220 off the deck, further off the tee of course. I currently play a Taylormade superfast 2.0 driver, which I like. What are some good models to consider ? I do prefer Taylormade but am flexible on the brand. Thank you for any info .

Ping G15 or G20 (more the G15). I wasn't able to hit a 3W until I bought a G15. It's very forgiving, but reliable all together. I usually hit about 200 yards straight with it, and I by no means have a good swing. Its a club that you wont need to replace for awhile.

I have an RBZ 4 wood and really like it. The new Callaway X-Hot stuff is getting pretty good reviews as well.

i recently picked up last years RBZ 3 wood for $180...the new ones are $250 i believe. So i think there is good value there.

I was recently at a golf shop (Golfdom) and the pro there was boasting about the new callaway X hot. he said he got invited out to carlsbad, ca where callaway has their headquarters and was demo-ing all their new clubs. He claims its the best fairway this season . keep in mind hes a +1 so he can hit anything, and he basically gets paid by callaway to push their clubs

my buddy tested it in the virtual room however, and hes only about 5'9 and was crushing a 3 wood about 260...so i think its fair to say its a good club. he ended up buying it. we haven't played this season yet since its still cold in the DC area, so i havent seen it on a live course

these would be my 2 recommendations

      My Swing (saevel25)

      The lie angle is the lie angle. It may "play" effectively upright or flat, but the angle is the angle.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Thinking about the GEARS Curve thread.  I know I am going through a bit of a swing change here. I was looking at some of the lie data from GEARS and remembering the QUAD data from Sunday. On most decent swings, I think I am going to be around 1-2 degrees toe down.  I can get major toe up if I do the downswing piece wrong, over-bend elbow in the downswing, and use the body. For the most part, I am definitely in that 1-2 degree toe down.  I just had my lie angles checked for my 4 iron (61.5 deg), 7 iron (62.5 deg), PW (65 deg). Which is what I ordered, on the number. So, at least Sub70 golf does a good job hitting lie angle numbers. 😁 Though, I did order +1/2" length, which I read makes the club one more degree toe up. So, my 7 iron might be closer to 63.5 degrees. Which probably makes my ideal lie angle closer to 64.5 degrees for a 7 iron.  Which also matches close to the Ping web fitting when I plug in my height and arm length. I am a 1/2" length and +3 upright.
