As I have gotten older, I have struggled with my 3 wood and long irons (2,3,and 4). So I made the switch to a 5W and a Smoke AI 7w. They have replaced my 3W and long irons. The 7w is also very versatile, I use it as my trouble club, low under trees, and other nasty places. I have even started using it when off the green as my bump and run club.
