Best deep faced 3 wood


leftycabe

Recommended Posts

I’m on a seemingly never ending search for the right three wood. I have tried everything under the sun (that is made in left handed) and I still keep going back to my old Titleist 906 F2. I don’t know if it’s because of the deeper face or it sits open, but I feel like I can go down after it a bit more. The newer three woods always few as though if I hit down and don’t strike it well, I could pop it up. Anyway, I’m wondering what deep(er) faced three woods others have tried and enjoyed. I’m having trouble even finding one of similar depth.

Tour Edge CB Series (Deep)

 

Fourteen 816 (Deeper)

 

Callaway Deep Series (Deepest)

 

Right now I game a tour issue 3 deep as a second tee club. It has a ton of hot melt in it and launches easily off the deck and is nuclear off the tee. Most of the time, it’s in my bag.

 

I have a fourteen 816 as a 5 wood (if I’m playing short courses, I’ll drop the 3 wood and 2 iron)

 

If I’m playing courses where I need a 3 wood into a par 5, I’ll go with the CBX but I rarely do it.

Still rocking the Rapture 3 Wood 13 Degrees. Still a cannon from the tee or fairway. One of the few 3 woods that can do it all for me. Likely not going anywhere any time soon.

All time lefty? That's easy, the OG cally 3 deep. Hot like fire but tougher off the deck. Mainly due to bottom not shaped for ideal turf interaction but wow off the tee...a consistent repeatable wow.

 

Imagine a 3deep steelhead. That would be awesome

I agree with everything, except it isn't tough off the turf. I've stopped trying to replace this club.

It depends what you are after. I tested the Callaway XR 3 Deep and it was literally going too far, was carrying it 255ish yards and my driver carry is about 265.

 

Ended up with the "normal" XR as this spun a bit more and carried 10-15 yards less which is more usable for me.

 

But it it's a driver replacement off the tee you are after then bomb away!

The Tour Edge "Beta" versions of FWs have deeper faces. I'm looking at a EX10 Beta 4W (16.5*) with a 54-gram R.flex Graphite Design Tour AD shaft.

 

I've hit a 60-gram shaft version of the 4W in open air, and could swing more aggressively than with a low-profile head.

 

EX10 Beta comes with non-adjustable heads of 3+, 3, 4 and 5 woods. Also, the adjustable sole weight allows you to tweak MOI and spin.

What's In The Bag (As of April 2023, post-MAX change + new putter)

 

Driver:  Tour Edge EXS 10.5° (base loft); weights neutral   ||  FWs:  Calla Rogue 4W + 7W

Hybrid:  Calla Big Bertha OS 4H at 22°  ||  Irons:  Calla Mavrik MAX 5i-PW

Wedges*:  Calla MD3: 48°... MD4: 54°, 58° ||  PutterΨSeeMore FGP + SuperStroke 1.0PT, 33" shaft

Ball: 1. Srixon Q-Star Tour / 2. Calla SuperHot (Orange preferred)  ||  Bag: Sun Mountain Three 5 stand bag

    * MD4 54°/10 S-Grind replaced MD3 54°/12 W-Grind.

     Ψ  Backups:

  • Ping Sigma G Tyne (face-balanced) + Evnroll Gravity Grip |
  • Slotline Inertial SL-583F w/ SuperStroke 2.MidSlim (50 gr. weight removed) |

The original x hot 3 deep was excellent off the tee. The courses I play rarely call for fairway wood off the deck so I cannot comment on its ability from the fairway. I can say I wouldn’t be the guy you want testing a fairways abilities from the deck, though.

 

No love for the 910fd or 913fd? I’ve played both the 910f and 913f woods but I got chance to try the 913fd (pending an auction win).

 

Has anyone played the 913fd? I’d call myself a high ball hitter. Was hoping to be able to hit a lower, more chase style shot off the deck with this club.

There's nothing in the rule book that says you can't play drunk.
