I need a new 3 wood

[00snook]

Hi All,

Am off to Portugal for my annual golf tour in a few weeks and I need to replace my 3 wood before then and am after any recommendations from the good and the great at NSC.

Details of my golf below.

Handicap - 14
Swing Speed - 90-100mph
Budget - Whatever really

Currently have a 20 year old Big Bertha which whilst I still like just needs to be updated. I use the 3 wood for fairway work, and also when the driver starts to go a bit wild off the tee.

Anybody have any thoughts?

You might consider doing a swap with the guy on here looking for a hoover.

Mizuno JPX-800 with the yellow Aviv Blk 79 shaft. Its a tour regular shaft so slightly stiffer and good for swing speeds around 95-105 mph.

Very nice and easy to hit. £99.

you might consider a hybrid. I tried my mates one at the golf course and it drove further than my normal driver. its a combination of an iron and wood and its great off the ground and also light rough where as a 3 wood wouldnt help me

Wood, stiff shafts, rough, swinging - this is better than 50 Shades of Grey.

PHWOOOOOAAAR!

Ben Ross Trimass 15 degree.

Works for me, at least it did untill I buggered my Achilles tendon up.

Taylor R9, rigid shaft steel. If you slow you swing down then the slightly more expensive but better graphite shaft would be ideal. Ensure if you buy one from EBay that it is genuine.

Taylormade RBZ, great club, easy to hit and very long.

I've often looked at my wood and wished for a bigger, more powerful shaft.

Have never been able to hit woods properly off the deck and preferred hybrids or laying up with an iron and trying to get up and down, but would highly recommend the Nike Sumos, I've got a 4wood for a little more loft, stiff graphite. Works a beaut. Certainly for your swing speed which is quicker than mine (and off a lower handicap) definitely go for a stiffer shaft. Go down American Golf or Rustington has a big shop, try some stuff out for size.

On-line Golf has some offers, I picked up a Taylormade R11 5 wood for £89 - which is a pretty amazing price. Have a look don't know what other offers they have. Good golfing ATB

ROCKETBALLZ. Buy one and enjoy the extra yardage baby.

What a great club

Having a wife who plays golf, try buying something cheaper and more useful..... like a Ferrari

I use a Callaway X Hybrid off 18. The extra loft means I need to remember to tee down if I use it to drive but from the fairway or light rough it is a wonderful club and saves me 2 or 3 shots a round. Probably cost between £100 and £120

Went for a Mizuno JPX800 3 wood.

Love my Mizuno irons so thought it might be a good bet. Arrives on Friday in post.

Thanks for all your recommendations.

As ideas go... that one sucks!
