Best Deep Face 3 Wood as a Tee Club

[QuigleyDU]

With a username like @518TitleistX isn't using a TM club akin to being a bit of a Benedict Arnold?

I will echo a few others and say Callaway X2 Hot Deep 3. A few years ago, I was having the same issues as the OP and picked one up. I could hit missiles with that thing and it kicked my driver out of the bag for an entire season. When I finally got the driver working again, I ended up scrapping the Callaway because I couldn't get the thing airborne off the deck unless the lie was perfect. It was a great driving club though.

An oldie but goodie is the Ping ISI Tec Titanium 3-Wood. I never had much confidence with a 3-wood in hand but the deeper face design of the ISI has Tec has was a real confidence builder. If you cannot find one, private message me. I still may have one.

If you want something even more affordable, look at Sonartec.

I have enjoyed the F9 tour for occasions of driver quarantine.

Taylormade SLDR TS, I don't know that its the most forgiving but it easily keeps up with my driver

[518TitleistX]

Yeah... it pains me to admit it, but the TM SIM line is outstanding. The TS3 line and I didnt get along. I played a 917 13.5* 3w all last year and while it was good, the SIM rocket 3w (loft for loft) is just flat out better.

Glad to see you are an honest man. Haha

This...have one in my bag right now. Kicked out my Epic SZ on the simulator last night.

I don't know if you'd consider it deep faced, but the cobra Ltd has been a monster off the tee for me. I've also had a lot of success with it off the deck too. Should be able to find it for a good price too

Taylormade m2 tour or m4 tour

X2 Hot 2 Deep. 12.5 loft, I don’t know why I even carry driver

It's hard to do any better than the SIM. Slightly larger head (I think 185cc). Very long and very forgiving. Someone else mentioned the M2 Tour or M4 Tour. They are good, and long. I had the M2 Tour for awhile, but if money isn't an issue, the SIM (last year model) is as long, a little higher launching and much more forgiving. However if you're a really good ballstriker the M2 Tour is a great option. Should be able to find one cheap. And super low spinning. From the fairway it was too low spinning for me. But from the tee it was pretty awesome (I've never hit a fairway wood farther off the tee).

If its just for hitting off the tee, why not just get a 12* driver and set it to 14* with a 3 wood shaft in it and some heavier head weights. If max forgiveness is the aim, cant get more forgiving than that! Carry 2 drivers, a bomber and a safety option. then get a 4 wood or something as your next club in the bag for the fairway

You know it might help just a bit, if we knew your swing speed and whether you fade or draw the ball?

I have been playing with something similar, but not at the loft mentioned. I find those high loft drivers to be rather draw-biased... So, I have a 10.5* 410 LST with two weights, one on each side, and an Aldila green 995 55-X. It is playing at 44". Playing a 47" second driver and a 4 wood, although I find that the 47" driver is unruly - need to think more about that one - while the 4wood does not get used much. My only complaint is that the Ping is stupid loud (to my ears), but it is really accurate and I can get it to go, too...

Alot of the adapters make the face closed when you add more loft. I think the ping adapter makes the lie flatter as you go more upright though to counter the left bias that could be introduced.
