I am struggling to find a good 3 wood that is easy for me to hit off the fairway ,at present I am TRYING to hit an Adams low profile..but to no avail..help
 
The original RBZ. Still a weapon! But if you are struggling, look at a high launch or go for a 4/5 wood. 3 wood off the deck is arguably one of the hardest shots!
 
Having just had a half day custom fitting the new Epic was by far the easiest to hit - followed by the old M2 (which is a good price on ebay right now from what I can see)
 
Try the Cobra ones with rails (I have the BafflerXL 3 wood which came out a few years ago, but they brought the rails back for the newer ones as well, starting with the F6, I think). Especially if you have a tendency to come in a bit steep or hit a tad heavy, the rails make a world of difference.
 
Ping and Cobra would be my suggestions. Anything from the Rapture / K Series to the recent G models.

The Cobra wood that I have is excellent.

Agreed, never managed any consistently with any other wood.

But tbh gave up with 3 wood off the fairway long ago, 3 wood off the fairway is hard to hit. I now play a 5 or 7 wood. But my son can hit a 3 wood off the fairway easily with any make of wood(he tends to flick and loft it up tho!!).

another vote the tight lies. i have the 3 and 5 wood and they are so easy to use.

i just wish they made a driver version of it with the same low profile
 
Just picked up the ping G model. The one that came closest was the Cobra with the rails on the bottom. Didn't really get on with the epic. Felt like I had to swing it out of my boots to get anything decent out of it.
 
There are so many options available rapper that you really need to make a short list based on your unique needs/swing type.

For example, if you have a shallow/flat swing and use it mostly off the deck, something low profile like the Adams Tight Lies will be a great option. However if you only use it off the tee you'll want something with a deeper and taller face. Likewise, if your problem is height and carry distance, you might want to consider a 5 or 7 wood, while if your problem is always hitting a slice or fade you'll want to consider one that is offset or has weight adjustability to help you counter that miss.

Once you've considered those points, speak to your local pro as ask them to suggest five to try that match your needs and budget and go from there.


 
My old cobra S3 is a beast.

I picked it up 2nd hand and it's served me well.

Going to drop it for a 5 wood however so will look to move it on soon.
 
Tried quite a few recently and it came down to the M2 and Ping. Spoilt for choice OP, get down to your local retailer and try as many as possible - enjoy ;)
