i agree with this and if you go carlsgolfland.com 917f2 18* is on sale for $99.99

I'll second this. The 917F2 is fantastic, looks and sounds great, and can be had pretty cheap right now. I rotate a 7W and a 3W and they are both great. Long off the tee, consistent, and smooth off the turf.

Took it out on the range today and it’s a big improvement over my Epic 5 W. My miss is an over draw and so with the 917 F2 faded to max in ever setting I was getting a baby fade to straight as an arrow on most ball flights. Very happy with this club!

A 7-HDCP golfer at our club is getting ready to try a 4W. This season he has been having trouble getting his 3W airborne from the fairway.

 

**Note** on the TM 3W/HL clubs (16.5* to 17*). This club has same shaft length as the standard 3W. If you're looking for more control, you might trim down the shaft from 43 inches.

I recently bought a Cobra F9 Tour edition 3 wood (tour shaft and weighting / CG in front). It hits well from the deck with the baffler rails.

If you perhaps can't hit it so well, the regular version has a bigger head and weighting in the back end.

Highly recommended.

Epic Flash is now in the bag-it replaces the Cobra F7, but the F7 is still one of the best and will stay close by.

Both are easy to launch.

Curious about which surefit setting that you're using on those 917 f2 for easiest launch?

I have set up -.75 in the slight draw setting so its slightly upright with the neutral weight in its perfect straight or slight draw set ups perfectly for those 2nd shots

I like C 2 for my 18* that gives me the best of just advancing the ball on long par 5's and to hit greens its my longest playing club after the driver

I'm just in the A1 setting.... I don't play around with them all that often. I have a 16.5* 915f... I may also put that in the bag but the 917f2 at 15* is a bit more of a penetrating bullet flight and I like the little extra distance I can get.

That's why threads like these are pointless. Asking people who have different swing mechanics for advice on what works for them is just pointless. My advice to the OP, go to a GG (or simular store) and find the used golf club section.....hit all the 3 woods available until you find the one that fits your swing.
