I am a high handicap looking for a fairway wood to hit off of the tee. Looking for a 3 or 4 wood. I went to hit the woods and a driver but the monitor quit working after 5 swings with the driver. The swing speed was 94.2 to 94.8 MPH. I did hit a few woods and liked the looks of the callaway the best but I have no numbers to see what I will work the best for me. I was looking for something easy to hit and would like to know what you would suggest.

T4m,

i was doing the same thing saturday, looking for a new 3 wood... and stopped into a Golf Galaxy and tested out the Xhot, Rocketballz, and the nike covert....     I hit the X-hot the farthest, but i have a problem with the Fade lol....   So the guy who was helping me out suggested a adjustable head, which i was going to suggest anyways, and he brought me the Cobra Amp..

after using the Cobra Amp, i ended up buying it,,, along with a matching Driver..

And today after getting off work i headed right to the driving range to try out my two new toys :)

And was pleasantly surprised and how straight i was hitting the ball..   yes i did have both the 3wood and driver head adjusted to close....   But I was hitting the ball a lot straighter than i was with my old Xcg3, and old 3wood...

I too was a guy who basically was looking for a 3wood to hit off the tee's since i at using my driver.  But after today, i feel like i could use my new driver with no issue....  I even went from a stiff shaft in the Xcg3, to a Regular flex in the Amp..

I will say this wasnt just a fluke of me hitting 5 good balls, this was hitting a good full bucket of balls with the 3wood + driver....

It is what it is

If you are just considering these two clubs, I would suggest the X Hot vs. the RFE.  The Xhot is a larger head, 460cc vs 440cc (unless you get the RFE 13.5 loft which is 460cc) is more forgiving and easier to hit for those of us with a higher handicap.

Even good players have issues with the RFE. Higher caps should probably avoid it.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
