BEST "off the tee 3/4 wood - 2015 or newer!

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Looking for your opinions and experiences on an easy to hit fairway off the tee. I'm not looking for anything that will i require hitting off the deck. Ideally it would be at least 15*.

Let's try to keep answers slightly recent - maybe 2015 or newer!

Thanks all

Ya. I have an M5, M6, sim and sim max. The sim has a very unique feel. I you are/were a baseball player, the sim is the only club I’ve hit that feels like perfectly squaring up a baseball. Not a home run swing where you get a little under it, but a screaming line drive at the pitcher’s head.

1) Sim

2) M5

3) M6

4) Sim Max

Titleist 917f2 and 915f 16.5 lofted down to 15.75 are both really solid and long off the tee if you like adjustable hosel fairways, in bonded- I like TEE cbx and cbx 119.

I still haven't found anything to knock my trusted Mizuno MP 650 3 wood out of the bag although I was very impressed by both the Titleist TS3 and the Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero 3 woods when I hit them a few months ago, I found that both clubs were excellent especially off the tee.

I recently hit the Taylormade SIM 3 wood with 3 different shafts and although the ball speed and distance were exceptional, the dispersion was poor to say the least and I found myself not hitting many more fairways than I normally do with my driver, mind you accuracy with these fairway woods seems to be an issue for some players because both Rory and DJ have really struggled to hit many fairways since they bagged the SIM fairways and recently both have been spraying their shots all over the golf course (mostly left with Rory) and those are two of the greatest golfers on the planet.

I still play a Tour Edge XCG7 Beta whose larger head 175 cc and deep face are fantastic for the tee.

But that's a 2013 model, I think...

TM Sim and Cobra Big Tour. Don't overlook less loft for a fairway wood mostly dedicated to shots off the tee.

Callaway Epic Flash has my vote. Its an important weapon in my bag. I did however have to add some lead tape to bump up the swing weight a little.

The 3 wood is such a personal club. You could get 100 responses and 100 different answers.

I will say that I think TM has really figured something out with the woods and in particular the 3 wood. I still bag a 2017 M2 HL. It's more of a turf club, however I do have a tour version that is a beast off the tee. The SIM seems to be getting a lot of love as well. If you want a budget friendly option, the Cobra LTD from a few years back was known for being an amazing driver replacement off the tee.

Absolutely but if the response to every question was...go get fit it is personal...this forum wouldn't be very fun lol

Well Duh! LOL. That's why I made suggestions instead of saying go get fit. :)

I will double down against the spirit of the forum and say that the 3 wood in particular seems to be the most unique club. That's why you still have people bagging v steels and 10+ year old clubs in that spot. It took me 3 years of searching after a cracked 910F until I found my M2 HL. I'm just glad i'm not still out there searching.
