Forum Thread of the Day: “Tell me about your magic 3-wood”

Published

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from Valtiel who asks WRXers to talk about their “Stenson” 3-wood. Valtiel asks members to discuss all the small details and our members divulge everything which makes their 3-wood so special.

Here are a few posts from the thread but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • Matty01984: “My 915Fd is never going anywhere! Played Golf for 20+ years and never had a three wood that I was completely comfortable with. Went for a time without and had a 5 wood in there instead but eventually came across the Fd. The crazy thing is that I never even hit it before buying it. Was at the point of being fed up with the 3 wood that I did have in the bag, had some vouchers on my account in the Pro Shop and thought why not. Probably the best decision that I have ever made without having really tested the club at all.”
  • BloctonGolf11: “TaylorMade SLDR HL 17 degree with stock speeder 55 stiff flex shaft. Thing just goes for me when I remember to swing calm and correctly and let it do its thing. I am not a bomber by any means (Driver is 240-250), and I can put this off the deck 220 with regularity. I have always had a hate relationship with 3 woods, but I love this one.”
  • tkwilliamson22: “Cobra Amp Cell 3 wood with the Fujikura Fuel 60. Had it since it came out and won’t buy a new one until this breaks or dies on me. Love it off the tee and off the deck.”
  • Brizam: “I have a Tour Issue Taylormade M2 2016 model with a Kuro Kage XTS in it that I will cry if it ever breaks… It is my favorite club in my bag. I will let pretty much anyone hit anything in my bag except that club. It’s off-limits. I have so much confidence in it both from the tee box and the fairway. I don’t even window shop new 3 woods just in case she finds out and decides to start acting up.”
  • DrawBias: “Very under the radar – Cobra King F6 (stock RedTie shaft) – now set to 15.5*. Had a session at Club Champion several months ago, and they couldn’t fit me in anything close to being better.”

    My trusty Stenson 3 wood is actually a 16 degree 4 wood, an old Sonartec SS-07 with an Oban Devotion shaft. Unless it cracks in half, it’ll never come out of my bag.

    Got an Epic gbb 3+ 13.5 deg with a Fuji 757 speeder x. Found the shaft in a R510 TP driver head in the used barrel. Pulled the shaft tipped it for a 3wd, cut it to 43”. I’m pretty long so I hit it as often or slightly more than the driver of the tee. The club is so long that it made me dump my 3i for an 18 deg utility iron because I had a 30-40yrd gap.

    For years, my ‘07 TaylorMade Burner 3 wood may have been the love of my life. Sadly, my playing partner had a very similar set up in his bag. One tragic day he unfortunately/accidentally pulled my 3 wood. He set up to play cut, but was somehow unaware how close he was to the tee marker. With him being a scratch golfer, I thought it best I not say anything. Tragically, I was proved wrong and that was the end of my prized possession. Of course he attempted to replace the club, but none felt the same. Man, I could hit so many different kinds of shots with that club. No club has come even remotely close ever since that apocalyptic day!

    I used to hate carrying a 3 wood to the point until I met my Ronald McDonald Cobra F9 3 wood. That this is ridiculously easy to hit off the deck and off the tee.
