GOAT fairway wood?

Sonartec SS-03 and SS-07

 

Long when it came out a long time ago and probably just as long as all the new stuff

 

Sonartecs were great. But for me the Adams Redline 5050 was the best ever. And considering the 5050 has been in my bag for 10 years and I have put it up against all the latest and greatest during demo days, it is the GOAT for me. Don't see any reason for changing.

 

And the shaft is the Matrix Ozik Code-8. The combo of those two is amazing (for me). The club is so old, the shaft has a 2 inch spot where the finish has completely worn off from rubbing on the club divider in my carry bag.

Old stuff:
1962 Tommy Armour AT2W Driver   1953 Macgregor M65W EOM 3 wood   1978 H&B PowerBilt Citation 4 wood
1984 Ben Hogan Apex PC 2-E   1968 Wilson Dual Wedge
1964 Acushnet O-SET M6S Bullseye Putter


New stuff
Cobra ZL 10.5 driver (Matrix HD6 s-flex)  Titleist TSR2 18* fairway wood (Matrix Code-8 s-flex)   Adams A2P 20* hybrid (Rombax 8D07HB s-flex)
Titleist 716 MB irons 4-PW (Apex 4 soft-stepped)    Callaway Mack Daddy wedges 52, 56, 60 (DG S200)
Odyssey ProType 9 putter

2016 TaylorMade M2 3HL with ADDI shaft

 

G25 4 wood was a hell of a club though; but was never the same following an idiotic tantrum...

 

I still play a G25 4-wood, because it works most of the time.

 

But the Exotics CB 2 was a really long fairway wood, back when I had the speed to launch it.

The Ping TiSi, second version with the gray finish. Best club of it's day by a LONG shot, and stayed in some bags on Tour (Cabrera and DiMarco, for two) for many, many years. Just a great club.

 

The other ones with the most staying power among good players would have to be the V steel or the Steelhead. Great clubs, but they don't match up the TiSi.

Steelhead III. Super consistent whether it was fairway, tee, rough, you name it. Sold mine on ebay one summer and have kicked myself for it since. I have had others that I could hit further, but that club was by far the most consistent one I've ever had.

it pains me to list anything new..But the 17 M1 is a pretty solid runner and head above off the tee because of how hot it is.....ive never owned that unicorn 3 wood that really was an accurate weapon month after month until the 17 m1 .... added a proto 5 wood and its just as good..maybe straighter...

 

if we are talking off the deck only it has to be something with rails....either V steel, cobra Baffler , TM 300 , Sonartec etc...... pick your poison.. purely because they are so easy to hit off any lie ... i can hit a cobra baffler solid out of a divot 10/10 times its so easy.... you can hit an inch behind it and it will just ride right to the ball .

Damn straight! You can punish it by putting it in a dark closet, but don't ever sell it. You will regret it.

This is why you don't do the above. Most likely if you bought a replacement, it still wouldn't play the "same" either.

 

Finding a 3 wood that works is like finding a needle in a haystack...

Never hit anything better than the 2016 M2. I can't imagine anything tempting me to replace it.
