I'm in the market for a new 3 wood.. My old r11 is just getting less appealing to me every round. The loud noise and ding it makes is pretty annoying. And I don't like the way the adjustable sole plate makes it sit higher. I'm sorta looking at the titleist 913 or 910 for a better price.. But I just want a more classic looking club that has a nice sound to it and sits below the ball.. I have a medium to high ball flight. Any help is appreciated!

I have had trouble with 3 woods for years. This season I bought the Callaway X-Hot in stock graphite stiff. Wow! Hit it so well I then purchased the 5 to go along with it.


I looked at that one. I like the way it sits and it has a really hot face. Also like the ping g25. I'll see which i can find cheaper

I have the cobra amp 3 wood and absoulty love it. Some days I hit it further than my driver. Good feel and sound. If price is no issue the amp cell is probably even better

Poking around in Dicks the other day and the new Nickent 3 woods are sharp looking.  No idea how they hit but they sure do look mean lol.


Hit an older used exotics 3 wood at golf galaxy tonight.. Compared it to my 3 wood.. Also hit the callaway x hot.. Carried mine about 225 and rolled about 240.. X hot flew 235 and rolled to 255 consistently. Exotics had similar numbers to the x hot.. Feeling the x hot but may get the shaft cut down because it feels whippy

When looking at the fairway woods, at least test out a 4W. The 4W is more reliable for many golfers than a 3W.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I play a 16.5 Ping G25 4 wood so easy to hit, found the 3W was just not cutting it for me this is the only wood i carry at this point.

I have been told by a few fitters that there are a lot of golfers that would do much better with a 4w dont discount it.

I play a 20* hybrid, but I am not a long hitter by any means I can push my 4 w to 200 +/-.

Believe it or not but I also carry and use a Cobra 7W. I use it instead of a hybrid because I can hit the hell out of it, plus the swing is the same as with a 3W. I have used it out of traps, roughs, you name it, great club. (I know some people call it a lady's club but who cares, I like it).


I started bagging a Razr X Black 4 wood. It's amazing how much more control I gained. It's also a lot easier to get good ball flight with out really losing distance compared to a 3 wood.

I have no trouble getting the ball in the air so a 4w sounds just like my hybri to me.. I have the 910h by titleist. But I'm really liking the x hot by callaway. Not sure if I wanna shell out the money for it yet.. Still recovering from buying my irons

    • Day 259: did mirror work while watching TV. Trying some wrist feels while trying not to lose the lower body stuff. 
    • Day 3 (5 Apr 25) - long day with setup and rehearsal for band’s church service gig tomorrow.  Got home to hit a very chippy wedges (from about 10ft to out to 40yds or so).  Focus was simple - feel the bounce and quiet hands.  
    • Day 187 - 2025-04-05 Got my time in today. Hoping to get a little more time in tomorrow, though. May get there early.
    • Day 14: 4/5/25 Putting through 50 mm gates.
    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?
