Today from the Forums, we take a look at the most effective deep face 3-woods for use off the tee. WRXer ‘hammertime1515’ has been struggling with his driver as of late and has asked fellow members for their suggestions on a “low lofted 3-wood with a deep face”, and our members oblige.

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.

KingCat990: “Ping Rapture 13°. Bomber.”
billh1: “Callaway XHot Pro 3Deep. The thing is an absolute bomber…plus you can pick one up for probably $50 or less online.”
nitram: “Until a couple of weeks ago I would’ve said Taylormade RBZ or RBZ2 3WD. I have a buddy who had a similar situation, and he tried a few models before discovering the Tour Edge Exotics CBX T3 13*. He bought one with a Hazardous Black 75 and all I can say is WOW! This thing is a low bullet hammer that hits stingers off the tee and is still serviceable off the deck.”
HatethehighDraw: “The latest and greatest in this category is the Cobra Speedzone big tour. Go for it!”
3_Putt_Par: “The Tour Issue 2016 M2 HL is the best I have hit. Great sound and feel. Extremely versatile and long.”

Jason Day on his recent switch into Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 MK II irons

Over the past year, equipment free agent Jason Day has played a number of different iron sets looking for his right match.

In May 2023, he was using a TaylorMade P770 4-iron to go along with a set of P7MC irons (5-PW).

In August 2023, he had switched to a set of TaylorMade P7TW irons (5-PW) to go with his P770 4-iron.

Then, in February 2024, he was into a full set of P760 irons (4-PW).

Now, Day has switched it all the way up, and he’s currently using a new set of Srixon ZX5 MK II long irons (3 and 4), and Srixon ZX7 MK II mid-to-short irons (5-PW).

On Tuesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Day told GolfWRX.com that he made the switch before the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, because he was looking to reduce spin.

“For me, they spin a little bit less,” Day said. “They’re very good out of fairway bunkers, too. I haven’t played too much in the rough yet, so I still need to get an understanding of how the come out of the rough, but for me, it was all about spin control.”

“I had tested the previous model to these [Srixon ZX7’s], but I only had one club. And I was getting some inconsistent spinny with my previous irons, so I just decided to at least give them another shot. My biggest thing was to take spin off, because I was spinning it like crazy.”

The Srixon ZX7 MK II irons are known for producing low spin numbers, and pairing them with Day’s typical ultra-stiff True Temper X7 shafts make them certified spin killers.

If it’s spin he wanted to reduce, then Day may have found his match with the new Srixon irons.
