Best 3 Wood of all time?

[theweekendgolfer543]

On the search for a new 3-wood...which had me thinking: what is the best 3 wood of all time? Tough not to immediately think of the TM RBZ but interested in your thoughts?

Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero

I have tried many but only two that have stayed, Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero and an old school TaylorMade V-steel. I did try a Sim2 3W that is supposed to be similar to the original V-steel but for some reason didn't like it as much. I recently swapped in a Diamana A'hina shaft just to try out and I hit the v-steel about 10-15 yards farther than with the stock shaft. It's just about as far as the Callaway EF now

personally don't think you can go wrong with any of the taylormade offerings from around 2016 onward. That said I really especially like my Sim 2 TI. I had a Sim TI before that, and prefer this one due to slightly smaller profile

A few I've had that were up there:

- The first Adams Tight Lies (at the time it came out it was by far the easiest off the deck ever made)

- Callaway Steelhead (best sound ever, also all around good club)

- Ping Tisi Tec (at the time it came out it was the most forgiving and longest ever made)

 

Since the Tisi came out I think that the major OEMs have had good clubs that are relatively close in performance. I can't think of one recently that really stood out as head and shoulders above the others.

The only way it isn't a current model is if you stipulate that it's vs the field in it's day.

 

The two that leap to mind for me are the Ping TiSi and the original RBZ.  In their day, there was nothing really comparable, and the RBZ is so iconic that you still find them in the bags of some very good players.

I loooooove my Cally Steelhead XR.  So much so that I have the 3+, two 3 woods, 4+ and 5.  I'll rotate them in and out depending on wind and what course I'm playing.  

 

I went through several after I let my old Steelhead Plus go - TM 300 tour, r7, Titleist 980 and 906 F2 & F4, RBZ, RBZ Stage 2 (this one stayed the longest).  I've had the Steelhead XR for 5 years and haven't even thought about trying something else.

915f. Hard to not have regency bias though.

‘07 TP Burner. Thing was a rocket. I still regret selling mine.

V-Steel & OG Sim TI gets a lot of love on this forum. 

[Aggie98]

Callaway Steelhead III

[phizzy30]

OG SIM ti is in my bag and it's in my top 3.  Best of all time would be the tour issue R7 ALE, IMO.  V-Steel also makes my top 3.

OG Sim Ti - just put this in the bag over Stealth Plus and TSi2. Monster off the tee 

[caniac6]

I really liked the Ping G25, and like a complete idiot, I traded it for something I can’t hit as well.

I miss my old Callaway Diablo.

Had this and sold it 🤦🏼‍♂️, it was great i would recommend it. Interested in the f9 though, love the shallow profile.

Many threads over the years on this topic. So hard to narrow it down to one, but here's a few based on characteristics: 

 

Pure distance: Adams Super LS

 

Feel: Mizuno MP titanium

 

OVerall: Titleist 904f

 

Still have 2/3.

Still my old time favorite.  One flex shafts made life easier as well.

Surely it has to be the V steel? Has its own long thread on here and many still game it.
