What GolfWRXers are saying about the best affordable 3-woods off the deck

Published

In our forums, our members have been discussing the best 3-woods off the deck. WRXer ‘Minarets’ is looking for a 3-wood that is “used or a few years old” that will give him the green light to attack par-5s in two, and our members have been putting forward their suggestions.

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.

  • dmeeksDC: “If you want great 3 woods you can get for little money, go back a series and look at Cobra. The only Cobra club I have in my bag is for precisely the reason you list: Hitting it off the deck. Bought a F9 standard 3 with Atmos Blue 7S and launched it fine off turf even at stock 14.5-degree standard setting. I changed it to 15.5 just for fun, and it works off any lie. Might go even longer. The rails are subtle on this model, and it for me has been like magic. Some like the smaller Tour model which I have never tried, but this one is only 165cc or so, and it is a breeze off the ground or tee. I play a Ping driver and Callaway as other fairways, but the Cobra holds its spot. I’d probably like the 5 wood too if I ever tried it.”
  • Shankopattamus: “Titleist 917 F2 has been a monster of the deck for me with an Adila Rouge Silver 110. I can get it high in the air and land it soft on par 5s. It’s also my go-to off the tee for tight fairways. I got it off Callaway Pre-owned earlier this year for under $100 during a sale. I bet you could get a similar price on eBay too.”
  • wam78: “Everyone so far pretty much nailed it. The two that I always turn to is Titleist and Cobra. There are some great deals to be had for 915, 917 models as well as F8, F9. Another one to keep an eye on that is low profile and easy to hit from the deck is ping g410. Good luck!”
  • dan360: “I haven’t tried the Mavrik yet, but the Epic Flash is pretty good. Knocked out a FW I had in there since 2005…”
  • NoFancyUsername: “Mizuno GT180.”
  • FredWomble: “Another vote for Cobra, F8 3 wood to be specific. It’s become automatic for me off the tee or off the deck.”
  • simonizer: “Oldie but a goodie: Ping Rapture V2. It’s well balanced and has confidence-inspiring performance.”
