Upgrade 3 Wood this year or wait


Recommended Posts

I think the best value right now is ordering a gen2 pxg 0341.    It is one of the best 3 woods I have hit.    At 225.00, new, it is a steal

Driver: Taylormade SIM Max d 9 with graphite design tour ad xc 6s

Fairway Wood:Taylormade Sim 15 with Graphite design Tour ad iz 6s
Hybrid:  Pxg gen2 19 with hand crafted hzrdus black 85 6.0 and Adams super ls xtd 22 with Diamana s+  stiff

Irons: 5-pw Miura Mc501 with modus 120s pured

Wedges:  Callaway md2 gold 50 Dg tour issue s400 black onyx, Taylormade MG 54 with DG tour issue s400 black onyx, and Taylormade hi toe 59 with modus 120r

I did some initial testing yesterday at the range with the Titleist TS2, Taylormade SIM and SIM Max, and the Callaway Maverick 3 woods. The launch monitor was down and it was super windy so it was more to kind of just get an initial feel for what's out there before an actual fitting. So far I narrowed it down to between the TS2 and the SIM Max.

The TS2 initially had a Tensai Blue shaft in it but it was launching way too high comparatively to the others so the pro there swapped out that shaft for a Project X Even Flow T1100 White and that knocked down the spin and the extremely high ball flight. I was able to take the TS2 home with me since I will be playing this weekend and put it through it's paces on the course which I'm excited about. I will most likely be doing a proper fitting early next week as well and get some hard numbers because I feel like the TS2 is just a bit shorter than the SIM Max which I also really liked. 

There are not a lot of Cobra fitters in my area so on friday after work I'm planning on heading up to either Golf Galaxy and PGA Tour Superstore to put the TS2 up against the Cobra Speedzone line as well since I keep hearing great things about them.

Thank you everyone for the advice and insight and there will be more updates to follow as they occur.

I took the TS2 out to the course this weekend for some on course testing and the TS2 is no longer being considered. I swapped it out for the SIM Max 3 wood and should be putting it through its paces on the course this week.

I tried this one out yesterday and loved the look of it behind the ball. I just wasn't able hit it well which was a bit disappointing but I can definitely see why you would vouch for it because when struck well it is a rocket.

My two cents but you really should give Tour Edge a look.  They make great fairways and hybrids that are great from the turf or tee, and the price point is always a great deal.  No "made for" shafts either...

I have heard good things about Tour Edge however I do not have any retailers near me so I am unable to try out any of their products. I also am able to get a decent enough discount on Taylormade which helps with the cost on their products a lot.

The moment you all have been waiting for. I went forward with getting fitted for my 3 wood this fall and as it turns out my best fit 3 wood was the same one as the pro who was fitting me. Since he says he hardly uses it he ended up selling me his 3 wood with the ventus black shaft. 20201026_075902.jpeg.1db10565667ad885225023c300861b93.jpeg20201026_075927.jpeg.487ed8c83b504da8ed98aa01a89bfa71.jpeg20201026_080003.jpeg.3486c26ba655ef559735d33944b3fea9.jpeg20201026_080012.jpeg.2b52c22fc9482ec6b2717398056df9a9.jpeg
