What GolfWRXers are saying about the best 3-woods off the tee from the newer releases
In our forums, our members have been discussing the latest 3-woods that perform best off the tee. WRXer ‘JFM628’ kicks off the thread, saying:
“I have been playing a 16* TM SLDR mini-driver, and it’s been great but getting near the end and looking to consider newer technology. I can always find another one, but I was looking for recommendations for 3 Woods with a bigger footprint – 180cc+ that would be used exclusively off the tee.
Are there any newer models that are out there that would make sense to consider? I really like having a deeper face for this club, and there is no need to hit from the fairway.”
And our members have been putting forward their suggestions in our forums.
- OsnolaKinnard: “If you’re looking for a long 3 wood to use off the tee, and you’re not looking at the tour edge exotics lineup, you’re doing yourself a disservice. I have a normal CBX IN 15*. It is a very low spin, slightly deeper faced 3 wood that is a monster off the tee. Mine is laughably long…like knocking on the door of my driver long. Additionally, it is not that difficult to hit off the ground…so there is some versatility there. I am not sure how the EXS plays, but the CBX is a beast of a 3 wood.”
- gentles: “I find the Mizuno st190 to be a deeper face profile that is still usable off the ground as well.”
- wam78: “Cobra sz big tour is one to look at for sure. I don’t hit a lot of fairways off the deck, so I primarily use it off the tee. Early testing has been solid.”
- MPAndreassi: “SIM Titanium is really good. I’m playing a 5 wood built to 16* @ 43”, and it’s longer than the Epic SZ 13.5* I replaced with it. The face on the Ti is very hot. I use it primarily off of the tee but still flys pretty well off the turf.”

Gotta second that Tour Edge CBX recommendation. I have the T3, in 13 degree. It’s a smaller head but it is still really easy to hit off the tee. The deck too. I got it for 60 bucks brand new, and in theory the shaft is about 20 grams too light for me, but I have never hit a 3 wood this well. No joke, when I catch it I get get it out around 300. I’m not the best golfer but I do swing hard.
