Dropped my 3 wood when i was off 18 as it was causing me to lose too many shots

In the following years as i improved i tried various 3 woods but never found one i could hit well.

Recently put a titleist 4 wood in the bag. It has a shallow face and is superb off the turf. Just this last 2 weeks ive worked out how to hit a reliable fade with it. A tweak at set up and technique has been the key to that.

Same with me... I found that learning to hit my three wood (915 adjusted to 16.5) 4 Wood
has helped all of my long game Driving has improved both accuracy and length.

if i played my home course could argue that I didn't need a three wood,, but our fourball rotates between six courses and 3W is vital on some holes that need a 3W off the tee or into a long par 5.

It is a weapon that needs to be mastered imo

Buy a 4 wood

see now this was my idea.. I was going to buy a 4 wood and ditch both the 3 and the 5 wood

I bought a TM M2 HL 16.5 degree 3 wood which is the loft of a 4 wood

not getting on with it that well at the moment.. 5 wood however still my go to club lol

The 4 wood is a good shout and if you can find one that suits it may give you the best of both worlds. However from my own experience, finding one to test isn't always that easy

Some makes have a high loft 3 wood.

I was recently looking for a new fairway to take off the deck. Ended up with an XR16 5 wood that goes further than my old 3-wood and is great off both the turf and tee. The 3 wood has been condemned to the cupboard
