Need Help? Non Draw biased 3 or 4 wood? High launch?

[clint6760]

I was looking to buy a new fairway wood that doesn't have a draw bias and that hits the ball high. I have the problem of low left shots with most fairway woods I have tried. Need any help on something that helps fade the ball high? THanks

My 15* 904F with a steel shaft hits the ball high and I have no problem hitting a fade with it.

Bridgestone J33 with a high launch shaft. The BEST anti-left wood out there.

another j33 vote, or the cleveland launcher series

If you want a high 3 wood, look not further than an Adams :stop:

Sonartec's got you covered. I like the SS-07, bendable hosel for lie adjustments, square face, and a great ball flight. The face depth is right inbetween the 2.5 (shallow) and 3.5 (deep faced). If you want to hit it higher, go with a 16* 4 wood like I've got. The only thing is you've got to go to a Sonartec certified clubfitter to get the 07 though, but that's kind of a blessing since you don't have to pay for an ill fitted shaft (like the buggy whip tour platform that comes standard).

Thanks for the help! Any others. I live way out of no where and don't really have an opportunity to go to a launch monitor so that sux. But if there is any more ideas that would help a ton. Any help on shafts for high launching would also be appreciated

The Nike T60 has a pretty square face.

The Nike T60 has a pretty square face.

 

I second that and I find that the T60 launches quite high as well.

 

Might also want to consider the V Steel as well, pretty square face and a pretty solid club all around.

Of these fairway woods, which one in yalls mind would have the highest trajectory and is the most forgiving. I mainly just use it off the deck. Cleveland launcher comp or steel, R7 steel, R7 tp, Callaway X or Fusion. Thanks for the help

The Launcher Comp has the shallowest face and lowest center of gravity so it will go the highest.

Ditto. One of the all time best fairway woods, and they're getting cheap on Ebay.

 

I picked up a 17 degree smooth top 200 tour for less than 125 a year ago, but it had a steel shaft. When I pulled the shaft, it was an unweighted TM head, probably sold as excess inventory. It didn't have the small white plastic plug at the bottom of the hosel. I hot melt weighted it up to 216 grams or so. It's a fantastic four wood with the right shaft. And it looks great at address.

 

I had two woods in my bag last year. A 14 Sonartec SS03 with an x flex 869, D5 at 42.5 and the 200 Tour with an X flex Pro 95, D5 at 42. The trajectories were entirely different, but I could carry them both almost exactly the same distance. I hit 20 balls one day on a short slightly up hill par 4 at my home course, and finally decided to carry one or the other of them, depending on the wind and course. If I needed high and long, I'd go with the 200. If I needed a second tee shot option, or if the course was shortish, I'd carry the ss03. But the 200 tour essentially got booted out by a 17 Nickent 3Dx, which is more versatile, slightly shorter and can carry 230 to 240 if I really hammer it. If it's dry, it's the only other wood I carry.

I agree with many of the above. Go see if you can get your hands on a few to demo.

 

I am sort of in the same market (Again!!!) but would definitely look at:

 

1) Nike Sasquatch 3-wood. I have been told its fairly square....who knows, havent seen it yet.

2) R7 TP

3) Callaway X Tour 3-woods.

4) MIzuno FX50

5) Titleist 904F

 

I know the Sonartec is a great club, but since I tend to be a bit of a digger, these dont perform that well due to the different type of leading edge on these.

 

Have fun!!!
