  1. I am grappling with this now. My driver, on a good day, is rolling out to about 260-265. My 5W is getting out to about 235-240. My 3W is getting to about 250, but I can only hit it that far about every 10th time. I can get my 5W out about 60% of the time. So frustrating. I'm considering taking the 3W out and just dealing with the shortage.

  2. Dropped the 3 for a 5 wood. Only half of my 3 wood shots from the fairway were good. The 5 wood is very consistent and just as long as the 3. Also carry a 7 wood to replace the 3 iron. Hit the 5 wood 225 and the 7 wood 210ish so the gapping is decent.

  3. If the principal holds perhaps A High Loft 3 wood like the stealth 2 3HL at 16.5 degrees and a 7 wood at 21 degrees are a better solution. With the 7 wood you also have a long range club that can hold a green and not roll over and off.

  4. TO ALL , In your non comp games do this . Should you find bunker water ob thick rough . Give yourselves the choice , in all events the option Either take a penalty drop out or play it as it lies , why !!! In the long run it gives you confidence and although not proper golf timing accuracy but more than that fun, and your game will improve . Mine has ok by 3 shots and as a 16.0 handicap I become lowest man in in team games and play rather well . I believe I am better than this handicap and on the 9 hole course par 30 I shoot 31 regularly and I get 6 shots, so it works .

  5. I am looking for either some way to get deablo 3w further than 189 yds 22g shaft offset which is pointless when I have a 5w and 7w both around 15 years old that I hit further 7w 200 series 190 and 5w 204 yds 200 series both taylormade.

  6. Thaks for this! I kinda need a little more guidance/details in this area on cleaning up the high end. No facility to get fitted where i am.
    Currently sporting
    Driver R5 9.5°
    3w15° (TNT)
    5w18° r580,
    ( also have a spare titleist 906f4 18.5° i can't decide what i prefer yet)
    4i 23° big bertha's and on…
    Just want a clean bag with the right tools to get the job done.

  7. I currently have an adjustable 5 wood. Thinking of an adjustable 3 wood. So I can adjust the 3 wood upto a 4 wood loft. I am not creating much clubbed speed currently but am having more lessons!

  8. As a slower swing speed player, I have a 16.5 senior flex 3 wood and a 17 degree ladies flex 3 wood, I hit them both about the same distance as my 18 degree senior flex hybrid. Depending on the course I am playing I use one of the three. My driver is a 10.5 degree and my 4 hybrid is 22 degrees with one of these clubs in between.

  9. Bit older video but info is dead on. I'm a lower handicap but 3 wood off deck is a gamble rather hit something that's more reliable less risk and not that much shorter than a 3 wood. I'm dropping the 3 wood into backup bag and next season getting a 5 wood. Subscribed

  10. As a begginer its so true that more lofted clubs are our friends…when i am in form i am pretty good with longer irons (6,5) but at winter when i don't play for a month and driving range is closed i know very well 7i or eve 8i will be the club i trust so when i know i am off in my game i will do much better result playing more lofted shorter clubs…if i do i mistake with 8i,7i i will still get decent flight and distance..bit once i do a mistake with 5i…

    And you know what separate Pro and Tour pro…Tour pro will do less mistakes and even when he does, the mistake is way less bad..

  11. If you swing it @ 80mph you play a driver around 12* and 43”, you hit it on every tee shot you can, then you probably have a bunch of hybrids to choose from, not a 5 wood.
