What’s your 3-wood? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been talking about their 3-woods. WRXer ‘Kdgolf’ is on the hunt for a new 3-wood, and our members have been sharing their suggestions as well as making arguments for their current gamer.
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.
- phizzy30: “Still have my OG SIM ti. It’s very hot off the face, mid launch, low spin. Great off the tee, but you need some speed off the deck to make it come to life. Qi10 tour is also another good one I tested and numbers were very similar to the SIM ti but it launched slightly higher.”
- knudson81: “Cobra Darkspeed LS 3+ and add a Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Pro White 70. Absolute monster.”
- adamwon84: “I have the AI Smoke Max 3 wood (15 degrees) and it might be the easiest club to hit from a tee or off the deck that I have ever had (when it comes to a 3 wood that is) and the distance is pretty fantastic.”
- runningblind11: “Taylormade fairways always work best for me, I need a deeper face. All in the last 5 years are good, but I really like the look of the Qi10 this year. I have a 3HL and a 7 in the bag now.”

Scotty Cameron unveils new B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters
Titleist has today announced the launch of its new Scotty Cameron B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters, a special run of classic, playable blade designs crafted in a Tour Black finish.
Inspired by convertible car culture – where a black paintjob, black interior and black soft top signifies a “triple black” color combination – these special release putters feature four of Scotty’s most popular blade configurations, revisited with his own “triple black” design format: a black finish, black shaft, and black grip.
In select Titleist golf shops worldwide beginning Friday, July 26th, the new B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters will be offered in four models: the Newport 2 (available in right-hand and left-hand), Newport 2 Long Neck, Santa Fe and Catalina. The lineup blends classic setups with modern head shapes and tour-inspired dual-milled face technology.
“Our Triple Black putters have always been a popular option on Tour with players who not only like a stealthy, cool-looking design, but also want an extra solution for reducing sun glare. We created the B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters to give dedicated golfers that tour-quality experience in four classic configurations.” – Scotty Cameron
