Jmikecpa Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Rain gear that I thought I would have needed to play in a tournament yesterday.

MattWillGolf Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The grip on my MD3 58° wedge was feeling a bit smooth so I popped over Dick’s and picked up a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip and put it on when I got home. My Mack Daddy CB 56° wedge has a Tour Velvet SG-1 grip which I really like but I cannot find them for sale anywhere so Tour Velvet it is.

I hate to be Captain Obvious but I have the Sim2 3 wood, 3HL wood and 5 wood and it is pretty much exactly what you would think. The HL launches higher than the 3 wood and is easier to hit from the fairway. The 5 wood launches higher than the HL and is the easiest to hit from the fairway. So basically it is either the best of both the 3 wood and 5 wood or the worst of both, depending on which one you like better. That said we are all different and you may find it closer to a 5 wood or 3 wood so I would think it is a worthwhile experiment since you already own it.

You should never feel foolish asking any equipment questions on a golf forum. Wanting to learn should never stop and I still learn new stuff about equipment all the time. I would add some like a larger fairway wood head so the 3HL is perfect for those players as it is the same size as the 3 wood, while others that love the size of a smaller 5 wood head may find it looks a little too large at address from the fairway.

Ive played with guys/gals that have some pretty unorthodox clubs, that perform great for them, or are super reliable confidence clubs. I cut 1.5” off my 5w last year and put 12g back in the head. Huge gamble/experiment. Its a stud now. Hit it 10 yards further and WAY more consistent outta any lie. IE, I hit a green from 225 out of a fairway bunker with it to 12’ Saturday.

NM01 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 11 hours ago, MattWillGolf said: Honestly, just because I have it. Nothing to lose by trying it that way to see what it does for distance, ball flight and how it looks at setup. If you are trying to fill gaps in the bag then that would be where the focus should be and finding the right setup that gives you the gapping you need. It could be 3hl, 5w, hybrid, longest iron. Could be 3hl, low lofted hybrid, hybrid, longest iron. The difference between a 3hl or 3w and a 5w is going to be head size and playing length. Head size will vary between the 5w on the market as well as how much difference in size between the 3hl and the 5w. Iirc the m1 3hl was relatively small in size compared to what the stealth version is and it may even be smaller than 5w today. Also as mentioned you are going to close the club face about 3* by changing the loft whereas with a normal 5w it’s not going to be as closed. Give it a shot and see what happens.

The 3hl is a higher loft similar to a 4/5w depending in the brand with the length of a 3w and the head size of a 3w. Could be the shaft isn’t a fit causing bad launch characteristics and not getting the distance you want. MattWillGolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Just ordered a net and mat for the back yard...practice is surely the most necessary aspect to improving my game. If I don't like this net, I'll return it and pay up fir the Spornia or Haack Pro. sirchunksalot, MattF and cksurfdude 3 Quote 849D with Evenflow Riptide (stiff) V Steel 3 wood 699U 3 (19.5*) 699 (4-6) / 699 Pro (7-PW) with Tour 120 shafts (stiff) JAWS Raw (50/54/58 degrees) ER8v with Fujikura MC shaft (firm) Kirkland V3 2023 2.5+ / University of Miami Stand Bag Nitron - Forum Test Review Pro L2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post edingc Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2022 Have to love the Internet. It did not take long to find a near-mint of set of Hogan PTx Pros for an insanely good price. There's no way these were hit more than a few times (very minor bag chatter visible): Seller even threw in two Hogan golf towels as well. Assuming I can get a little cash for the shafts (Recoil ES 780 F4 taper tips) that came with them, I will be able to build a completely custom 5-PW set with the SteelFibers and new Star Sidewinder grips for less than what it would have cost to order a new set from Hogan direct. I'll take that any day!

They will be going on the block as soon as I can get the Hogans built up. My SteelFiber order probably won't be here until next week, so it could be a while. Will most likely be parted out with the heads and MMTs separately.
