I really like hitting a 3 wood off the tee. I have G20 irons, but want to get a new 3 wood. I've read that the X Hot is the best for most amateur golfers. Any suggestions?

Personally I prefer the XHot. Shape reminds of the old GBB fairway woods and it's pretty easy to hit. G20 is good as well, both designed with similar performance characteristics. XHot has a deeper face, G20 is more shallow, just depends on what look you like at address.

Just a suggestion, if you have a chance try the G25 you may really like it, I have not played the G20 to compaire?

But both may son and I have the G25 4w they are 16.5*, well balanced very easy to hit.

I bought the the x2 hot 3W and 5W this year and absolutely love them. I can hit the 5W well both off the tee and fairway, but mainly use the 3W only off the tee (I'm sure better golfers would have no problem hitting this 3W off the fairway, unfortunately I'm not one of them yet).

I have the Taylormade RBz stage 2 and don't regret it one bit. I got the Callaway X Hot iron set (4-aw) for 2013 Christmas and decided to try out the 3 wood and driver just for the fun of it at Golfmsith one day. I'm really wish I didn't love my RBz stage 2 so much or else I would get it. I too tee off with a 3 wood mostly. However, I did just buy the X Hot driver today. Can't wait to play it. See what I did there?  ;)

    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
