Fairway advice (does not have to be the newest model)

Hey guys, I very rarely play my 3w, but when I do, I tend to miss mine on the toe. With my current 3w, I get severely punished on those. Can anyone recommend a 3w that may be a little more friendly on the toe side?

The Callaway Fusion from 2-3 yrs ago is a club that I have no plans of ever getting rid of. I’ve tried to beat it with an M2, Rogue, TEE, Cobra F7/8 and none came close. Cobra LTD would be my second choice. Just a lovely head shape to me and solid club.

 

I was not a fan of stock shafts in Fusion. Aldila Rogue silver 70 works best for me.

I play a TEE cb pro strong 3w and a cobra f6 baffler as my 5w. Couldn't be happier. The TEE is just a monster. I like to have a good lie if I'm going at it off the deck, but the baffler is a "get-out-of-jail" club. I also use it off the tee.

Go out and get a Titleist 917F2 and put the weight in the toe ("fade" setting). Like you, virtually all of my misses are toe side and most fairways either lose distance, over compensate with excess draw spin, or both. I had a Ping G 14.5* that left the bag quickly because my toe misses always ended up both short and left. The 917F2 weighted this way fixed all of that. It allowed me to make the club more fade biased, and the weighing also shifts the sweetspot just slightly toward the toe side by changing the COG.

 

It isn't the longest on the market compared to some of the very low spin offerings out there, but it is very long in its own right. Most importantly, it is crazy consistent and accurate. Sound and feel is outstanding and it looks very minimalist behind the ball. Just love this club, and I was not bagging a fairway for 3-4 years prior to adding it to the bag.

 

Great off the deck and tee, and can be picked up for pennies on the dollar now with the TS2/3 being out. The TS2 is a tad longer, but you can't throw the weight out to the toe and I feel the way my 917F2 is setup it is more forgiving for my game than the TS2 anyway.

Ping G25 Is solid.

Work out why impact is at the Toe vs centreish need a shorter club eg 43 or 42.5 long? Or too stiff?

Ping G25 4-wood might be an even better solution. The shaft length of the 3-wood, with 1.5* more loft.

I swing 3.4 in to out on average, but I am 99% in to out unless trying to cut it.

.... obviously the Pretty Ugly looking Stock matrix rulz 60 shafted TM Aeroburner at 15*. It can do 300+. Must be the aerodynamically fluted hosel that partially accounts for its massive speed. Cost like $65 on Ebay
