TM Burner TP from 2007. Got the 17.5 last year and it's been a revelation. Tonight I bought the 14.5 off EBay to try that. Maybe it's not a sleeper, just old. The 17.5 has the best dispersion for me on any fairway I have owned and I have had 10 in the last 5 years. Maybe the 75g stiff reax shaft works well for me. Dunno. Great off the deck and tee. Never lose it left(my fault).

07 Burner TP is FAR FAAAAR from a "sleeper". It is however arguably the best fairway wood ever released. At least 5 PGA Pros still use them.

 

They are legendary.

Mizuno MP Titanium. I've got a 3 & 5 with the Fubuki shafts. Love the sound and feel off that hot face. Very compact, the sole design just coasts thru turf. My second fave is also titanium, but much larger head - Taylormade R11ti. Also great sounding & hot face.

Adams tight lies ti. Gets up super easy but not overly shallow faced like previous tight lies for a bit of forgiveness. The titanium face is hot too because they can make it thinner than regular steel and not cave in due to the strength of titanium. The feel off the face is soft and muted too so not typical of titanium heads.

I really enjoyed my old Cleveland Hibore fairway, was so easy to hit and went pretty damn far as well.

 

Another mention for the MP Titanium, man that thing used to get a ball out there.

You said it, BTY would have been my guess.

 

S9pro, sonartech, srixon, tight lies tour are honerable mentions.

I used to be a Titleist diehard fanboy hitting the 906F3 and F2 forever; but about two years ago I switched to the v-steel 3w and it's nuts how easy it is to hit it straight and consistently long.

the search for "the" perfect 3 wood is going to be almost a lifelong one...

 

and when you think you've found it you will want a better one..

 

enjoy the journey and good luck on your search..

 

PS: i still haven't found mine so have just settled on a 4 wood!

TEE CB2 is the longest off the tee for me but cant hit the damn thing off the deck. so V-steel is in the bag right now and i can hit it both off the tee and deck but not as long as the CB2. I just got an S-yard XV today and will test it out this weekend. I'm hoping it'll be my "holy grail" 3 wood to match my T.388 "holy grail" driver
