LONG 3 wood

[superscootkid]

My driver and I are having a break up, and I am thinking about putting in a beastly 3 wood. One that will mainly be used off of the tee. I currently have a Cleveland launcher fl3w at 17 degrees (around 44 inches), and a 906f4 3 wood(15.5 degrees) which has a stiff aldila nv 75 at about 43 inches. I hit my 3 wood 210-240 off the tee on a solid hit. If I take my driver completely out of the bag I can put in some sort of 3 wood only for the tee that will have a little higher ball speed. I am a low launch low spin player, so I don't want anything too low lofted. What 3 wood do you think would be good for boosting ball speed.

rbz HL 17* would be a good fit. You can find them all day for around $100

[jokerusn]

XHot 3deep. It's a mini driver. Longer than the RBZ Tour I used before it. The Stage 2 and anything from Tour Edge Exotics XCG lines are also pretty long. Haven't hit the Adams Super S or LS but hear they're long too.

[superscootkid]

Yeah, I would want something that I could find on ebay for about 100 dollars.

Cleveland Mashie 14* 3 wood. You can buy it for like $60 shipped brand new from ebay. not deep, but stupid easy to hit and keep straight if slightly closed fits your eye

[/quote] unfortunately I can't stand a slightly closed face. Also it's mainly for the tee so easy to hit is not that necessary. Thank you for the input though.

You can find an Adams F11 Ti for about $50. It's an absolute bomber both of the tee and from the fairway.

No problem. I know what you mean about the closed head thing. I wasn't a fan of it at first, but after I hit it i forgot all about it haha. Hope you find what you're looking for

910FD in a low loft?

910FD in a low loft?
[/quote] The only issue is I'm low launch low spin so a 15 degree 3 wood gives me about perfect launch conditions. I just want something with a little better smash factor. Thanks for the recommendation.

[kronik]

Low-priced on the bay and hot = MP 650. I didn't have the greatest results with it in my search for my new 3 wood, but the ballspeed numbers were very similar to my Super LS and my best friend ended up walking out of the store with one.

[simple36]

3 deep, Mp650, j33p, Cobra Long Tom 2 wood, Hibore 2 wood, or maybe a covert 3 wood to name a few.

Personally Long tom 2 wood is first, 3 deep second, and covert 3 wood third. The long tom is driver distance with the control of a 3 wood. It feels a lot like an RBZ coming off of the face for a reference but pair it up with a nice shaft and you have a winner! I shot my 2 lowest rounds of the year using this and dropping the driver out of my bag. Dirt cheap on ebay and pretty much everywhere. I got mine for $75 on ebay brand new in the plastic!

[/quote]what loft is the 2 wood. Is it 11.5 loft, because that might be a little too strong.

[MI Rob]

RBZ Stage 2. I have never hit a longer 3 wood.

[Jknudsen11]

I got a covert performance to match my covert driver and it is only about 15 yards shorter at around 250. I also got it super cheap on eBay for $113 + shipping.

[schuyler]

Amp cell 3 wood. For me it has been stupid long and rediculously easy. Plus you can change the loft to accommodate your low launch. You can pick one up pretty cheap now.

It is 12.5* of loft as it says on Cobra's website but I think mine was like 13.1 actual loft or something like that. If you see them in the used rack at GG or something you could always bring them over to the club tech's and have them check the loft. If there is more than one you can browse until you find one more around the loft you want.

[VNutz]

3 Deep. I know it's out of your budget, but if you're patient and scour ebay you never know what you might find. Or keep it in mind for the fall/next season. Straight low spin bomber IMO, and the more I get used to it the more I can play it off the fairway.

Oops. Must've missed that part. In that case, a used TEE XCG-V or earlier, r7 TP or Adams 5050 should be able to come in below $100 pretty easily.

I think it was mentioned but the Long Tom is 12.5* stated loft. You'll need to put a different shaft in there though as their stock setup is pretty horrawful. Yeah, that's horrible and awful all at once. 45" super light weight shaft with a 'shorty' (seriously, that's what it's called) grip on there which is about 6" long to prevent you from choking up on the club. The head itself though is pretty solid. I put a 73X Blueboard in there to play at 43.5" and it was okay, but the 13* 3deep blew it out of the water...for me.
