20xUnited Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I've been using my 3 wood a lot more recently. I have been hitting it farther than my driver and it is a lot more accurate than my driver. 1 Quote Driver: Nike Vapor Speed 10.5* 3 wood: Nike Vapor Speed 2H: Nike Vapor Speed Irons: Nike Vapor Speed 4i-SW Putter: Nike Method Core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ole gray Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Just saying if you need a 3 - wood that is actually fun to hit and easy to get off the ground, you might want to take a look at the MAVRIK MAX 3 - wood! I've never been a fairway wood fan however after hitting a friend of mine's on the range, I was drooling like a coon pup on his first treeing. I had to have one and after gaming it for several weeks, it has earned a solid spot in my bag. Seriously good fairway wood and it makes my highly recommend list. Oh and it's 15 degrees and still easy to elevate.....

The Maverik is definitely a sweet 3- wood. It does have a large footprint however imo the way they designed it makes it comforting both on and off the tee. The weight is centered low and back thus elevating it is much easier than any previous 3- wood I have tried. It's a no brainer for my game. 1 Quote Cleveland Launcher XL 10.5 Driver Cleveland Launcher Xl Halo Hy-wood 18 Degree Cleveland Launcher XL Halo 7- wood Cleveland Launcher XL Irons 5 - PW Cleveland CBX ZipCore 48 52 & 56 Degree Wedges Seemore SBC20 Platinum Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverRick Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Last weekend I thought I had my M6 3w and my ST190 5w. I hit my “5w” on 7 off the tee and got a fortunate bounce and stayed in the fairway. On 8 I hit it and was 18” from running out of the fairway and Into the creek that crosses it. On the par 5 11th I hit it off the deck and once again was surprised at how low it was and how far it went. On 12 I took it out of the bag and noticed it was my ST190TS set to 14° not the the 18° 5 wood with the shorter shaft. No wonder it was lower and longer. So last week I played 2 3woods.

golfish! Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 After testing the Ben Hogan GS53 3W it has a permanent place in my bag. I use it to tee off on short par 4's with hazards I know I can't carry and I am still working on using it off the deck to try and get to short par 5's in 2 but it is a club I use for sure.

stephenmatt Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I just started using mine more frequently and they are clubs that definitely require a lot of confidence. The course I play you really can't use your driver on more than 5-6 holes because of hazards and how narrow some of the holes are so the 3 wood comes in handy.

jroot327 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I rarely use my 3 wood. Most of the time if a par 5 is reachable in 2, It's driver and iron. If a par 5 requires driver then 3 wood for me, unless its wide open, I'm laying up to 100 yards and trying to stick it tight with wedge. 1 Quote G410 SFT 9.5* w/ Ping Alta CB S G410 SFT 16* 3-wood w/ Ping Alta CB S z585 2i, 4-AW w/ Modus3 120x RTX Zipcore Tour Rack Raw 56.12 & 60.10 w/ Modus3 125w White Hot OG #1WS w/ Stroke Lab @ 33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingGreens Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Finding out with the weather my 3 wood is a better option than a 4-iron. We have so much wind lately that’s it’s requiring a 1-2 club up shot. It’s a safe club. It’s always my safety net over my driver. The course I play doesn’t really have any reachable par 5s in 2 which generally takes it outta consideration.

mikeanthony Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yessir! Have always gamed and utilized my 3W. Just bought Cobra’s Speedzone 3W with the Tensei Blue shaft from DSG for $199 ... adjusted it to 12° and played it exclusively off the tee at Caledonia (a short but insanely gorgeous track) this past Sunday. Very happy with it.

Kitchentime Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Using My 3 wood about 2-4 times a round. I tee off with it on the first hole at my club pretty much every round, and use it on a few of the par 5s. I don't get it out there very far, maybe 220-235 off the ground, but its pretty consistent.

Finch Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I took my fairway woods out of my bag years ago and tried hybrids. Didn't like them much either, so I took them out. Now I carry a utility iron and an extra wedge and couldn't be happier. My dislike of the 3 wood (and others) isn't because of my ability to hit them - I just don't need the distance, particularly at my home course. Even when playing other courses... I think I would have liked a 3 wood about twice in the past few years. 1 Quote TSi3 9.0 + HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 60/6.5 | U510 16* + Ventus Blue VeloCore HB 9X 2021 T200 3i + KBS Tour 120S | 2021 T100S 4i-PW + KBS Tour 120S Jaws MD5 52.10 + KBS Tour 120S | PM Grind 58.10 & 64.10 + KBS Hi Rev 2.0 LAB Golf DF 2.1 Custom | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy_APH Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Pretty sure I've posted in this thread already, but over the last season or so things have changed with my swing and so has my use with the 3 wood. It use to be a go to club and although I still love it, I seem to hit really low screaming bullets with it which has led to less functional use on the course. I hope that with joining a new course and seeing how the layout is that I get more use out of it. It is really cool they have a championship 18, championship 9 as well as 2 6 hole courses which should make for a great time and hopefully a love reignited with the beloved F7 3 wood. 1 Quote as of Oct 31, 2022 (Past WITB) Driver: TBD: Follow here: Driver Shootout!
