OG 3deep came with pxv shaft that was pretty soft. The X2 3deep came with the tour green, much better shaft, but like you said came untipped off the shelf. I had a couple of the X2's as well and I did what you are talking about. Made a significant improvement.

Not a serious suggestion, but I submit a nominee for all time best-in-catagory

TaylorMade Original One 13.5. Try it. Incredible tee club and no problem hitting it off the deck, although that's harder for some than others. Hasn't been an issue for me so far.

I'm actually playing the 11.5, and I can hit that off the deck as well, but for most people using it as a 3 wood replacement, the 13.5 is the better option.

[Canthelion]

highly recommend the Titleist TS3 be given a look as far as current product lines. confidence inspiring look from address and great feel. face is plenty deep to make it a suitable club from a small tee peg off the tee. just as long as any fairway I've ever had in play if the loft and shaft are right for you. previously used callaway, ping, TM over the last twenty years.

Haha, bad suggestion on my part then! Not too long ago they were plentiful on eBay, just did a quick search and they are becoming tougher to find.

 

If you can find one though, really, they are as good as it gets.

[TKS]

Get fitted into a Wishon 919F/D. Absolute perfect control driver that can be hit from the fairway. Great look, feel, sound and flight.

[03trdblack]

 

Deepest faced 3 wood I've ever used and seen was the Callaway ERC titanium. Same head as the Callaway Great big bertha II fairway woods.

[ChipNRun]

Take a look at the various Tour Edge "beta" model FWs from the past eight years. These are deep face woods good off tee, and great off the fairway if you don't chop down on your FW shots. Solid margin of error if you have decent clubhead speed and don't need low profile head to get airborne.

[cshane12]

Since today's larger head driver's have such big sweet spots and adjustability, I would suggest trying to shorten that monsterously long driver shaft to around 43.5 inches. In fact my driver and my xhot 3deep have exact same length shafts. I haven't lost any distance and gained a ton in accuracy because now I hit the ball in the center of the face. So much easier to hit than the 3deep. I've actually pulled the 3deep out of my bag.

I think I’m good for now... think I’m going to bunker down for the season and hopefully do a complete bag overhaul in 2020.

I have the E8 Beta in 13* and 16.5* heads with V2 76X and 85X shafts repectively. Both solid heads and perform as expected. 13* isn't that hard to elevate off the deck if needed (rarely) and has it's spot firmly in place in my minimalist bag setup as longest club. 16.5* was my gamer this season after dropping my 915F/Rogue combo. While it was only a touch shorter, the extra loft was more versatile from the rough. Been a fan of TEE for a long time, they make quality fairway woods for sure.

[SuperDave]

Callaway XR Strong 4 wood with Tensei blue shaft ... a bullet 4 wood that I've actually used for an entire round just as a test without the driver. Awesome. I have the 7 wood too and love it

[Woodie]

Mizuno ST190 TS with the adjustable hosel is quite deep face. Even though it is easy to hit of the deck, but with its face height it is easy to use from tee. You could turn it down to 13° and have a little bomber :)

Definitely!

It is - deepest face I've ever seen on a 3-wood in modern times. Awesome as a "driver" for sure. Mizuno even advertises it as having a deep face so it can be used easily off the tee.

I put a Diamana Whiteboard 70g shaft in an X2 Hot 3Deep and it was a beast. Made a huge difference. More boring trajectory and great roll.

Mizuno guys, correct me if I'm wrong, It looks like the "regular" ST190 (not the adjustable TS) has the same depth to it so besides the adjustability are there any other major differences? I think I read somewhere it sits a little more open, is there any reason you went with that over the regular?

[Hammer22]

I don't actually think there is any difference in the way either head sits. The adjustable head is heavier due to the loft sleeve, and obviously offers the adjustability, but either will play well. It is a real bomber off the tee for sure thanks to the deep face.

[kiwii]

Cobras fairways are fairly deep in the face. Also exotics are deep but also big over all

[ian-500]

TM Original One. All. Day. Long.

[Lag]

the 3 deep my favorite of all time for off of the tee

[SMUGamer]

For the more modern choice, G400 Stretch all day erryday!

[Mainehacker21]

I'm surprised no one mentioned the 17 m2 Tour here, maybe it's not a much deeper of a face. Seems like it had a good following, anyone have any experience?

[averysdad]

There was a very interesting vid that TXG put on YT yesterday about this same deal....shallow face 3w bs deep face 3w. Check it out!
