So i was not sure how to title this thread...

But i have a 3 wood from a box set i got at a McSports back in 2008 ( Dunlap Attack is the name of the set ) ..  no lie i think the whole set cost me 130$   lol...   needless to say i didnt use the set very long since my brother a year or two later, bought a new set of AP2's , so i got his old Wilson Deep Red's,

But i kept that old set around, mainly for the driver's, while i use the Deep Red irons.....

with the driver, i was so hit or miss lol....... but with the 3 wood, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     no lie, i could easily hit the ball on average 250 yards...

So i decided to give this 3 wood a whirl again, while at the driving range...  and no lie, it still puts the ball out there....  the crazy thing is the shaft has so much flex it's funny......

which made me decide to pull the driver from my bag and just stick with my 3 wood.....

but it's just funny how such a " cheap " 3 wood can perform so well.....

and no lie, when this club breaks or die's i will be pissed lol.........

It is what it is

Used to have a cheap 7 wood my uncle gave me which I hit consistently well every time. Not even sure what happened to it, but I have never tried a 7 wood since.

So I would give anything to go back in time and retrieve all of the clubs like you describe that I had. Why? I believe with todays club fitting technology I could identify the things like the club's MOI, swing weight measurement, shaft cpm flex, etc, etc.  Then I possibly could build me a set using cost effective components and/or custom order a "like" club based on the specs of those oldies.... I am glad you have kept yours. Regarding that 3 wood, it probably has the right combination of length, lie angle, loft, etc which compliments your swing. Plus I am sure it "feels" right and I am a firm believer if a club feels good, then a golfer has a good chance of swinging within their abilities consistently.

i totally understand what you mean... i had that with a set i bought off one of my old boss's...  this was in like 2000, i had bought a cheap set in the spring time when a bunch of us at work decided to get into golf...  well the boss started with a cheapy set, i think the name on them was " dynamo "  lol.... well the boss went out and bought himself a new set of taylormade's i think.. and since i had snapped several of my clubs at the hosel, he sold me his old set for 50$

And wow i could just kill it with several of the clubs.. the 5 iron i could hit around 190 yards lol... and the PW was money on anything from 125 and closer.... all the other clubs was iffy lol... i hated myself one day for losing that PW.... i went a bought a new/used one and it just wasnt the same.....

I will say about my cheap 3 wood, is the shaft has so much flex it's funny, you can actually feel it on the follow thru....

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
