Cult classic 3 woods/underrated 3 woods


nogamejames

Recommended Posts

I have been using an RBZ stage 2 tour (14.5) for years until 2 weeks ago I caved the face in. I am struggling to find something to replace it. I have tried a 917F3, Adams xtd ti, TEE ex9 and Cally epic. I am very tempted to put the 07 burner tp or Nike SQ2 back in the bag and forget about anything newer.

 

My long winded question actually is... Has anyone made a "cult classic" fairway wood like the 07 burner tp, TEE cb2 or SQ2 recently? Other than what is listed above I haven't tried anything newer than the rbz stage 2.

 

Thank you in advance.

i still play a nike sq2 3 wood and occasionally (depending on course and my swing) will put the old nike t-60 3 wood in the bag. the sq2 is a great all around wood for me from deck or from tee. the t-60 is a cannon off the tee, but a little tougher to hit off the deck, but if you hit it, watch out.

 

another favorite that i unfortunately sold and regret - tm v-steel.

I should have added v-steel to the list as well. I still have a vsteel T/S that I play from time to time.

 

I need to look into the new steelhead plus. I was thinking I might have missed out on something in the last 6 years or so.

I’ve yet to hit anything that can knock my Ping G15 out of the bag.

 

Couldn’t agree more. 3 wood still in my bag and two years ago I found a matching 5 wood brand new. Been sitting in a back of a shop.

Adams Tight Lies. I’ve played both the original and the last version. They may not be the longest but they are so easy to hit off the tee or the deck.

I need to look into ping equipment. I have never played a ping club except the rapture V2 driver years ago. I am eyeing a g15 3 wood on ebay right now. Thanks and keep them coming

I love g15 and baffler rail f and played both extensively. both are awesomely versatile woods. 2 main reasons. easy to elevate from deck (can hold green), and gap nicely between driver and 4i in my set. modern enough, but not so hot as to compete with driver. also not low spin wonders that fall out of the sky when not caught perfectly. baffler rail f 3w and 5w still in bag.

I still love my diablo edge tour. Granted I'm not a super long hitter. But I can play any shot I want with it.

Going back to my Xhot 3 wood, non pro. I haven't been able to find anything as easy or as long off the deck. Also, even though it sits closed to my eye, it doesn't seem to want to hook. This spot in the bag is a beeotch.
