3 Wood

replacement is needed

After 13 years playing my King Cobra 14° 3 Wood signed by Greg Norman himself the week before he won the British Open the clubface has a cracked. Of course, emotionally this club is not replaceble, but I am in need of something I won't love as much and still hit it 265yds.
Since I like the deepface I was thinking about going with Sonartec. Titleist seems unable to build a square fairway metals for non-tour players, TM's R7 TP are quite big-headed, Berthas came out a little shallow faced this time.
You can order the SS-07 Sonartec head so I wanted to know if anyone has experience with that? I hit the new 2.5 which was ok (I could work with more deepface though) and the 3.5 I havent seen, but the pictures look like it's a little deep and might be a problem out of the rough.
Regarding the shaft I am absolutely clueless. I just switched to Project X 6.5 in my TM TP Combo. I am playing a V2, 86g, Stiff, 44,5' shaft in my Ignite 410.
Thanks for suggestions.

sonartec heads are great, i've had mine for about 3 weeks now and it is clearly a step above every other head I've played before

I've played or hit all the ones listed below and they are the best IMHO. Try them all and see which one you like best.

Tee Exotics

Nike T-60

Sonartec SS-03 / 3.5

Callaway X

I play a Titleist PT 15* non-bore w/ Rifle 7.0 steel shaft @ 42". It's got a deeper face and a "classic" flatter soleplate. I've got PX 6.5 shafts in my 670's, the 76g V2 Stiff 44.5" in my 983E (i.e. a setup similar to yours).

If you want something long with a deep (but not Nike deep) face, try the one I'm using - it is the AGT Supernova 3 wood - combine it with a low-mid kick shaft and it gets the ball up.

I also had a SS-07 3 wood in Speeder 652 - but the AGT is longer and gets up nicely with a TW64 ZCom shaft, soft explosive feel, too.

Another one to try is the Adams Tour Profile LP - very nice club, needs a nice shaft. My favorite between Cally, Nike and Adams - but the AGT remains in the bag.
