    Spot on. I recently switched from a 3 wood to a 5 wood and getting much better results. 3 wood I might carry one out of five over 200 yards and now three to four out of five shots over 200 yards carry with my 5 wood.

    I have a driver, 3w, 5w, 4H etc.
    I just barely used the 3w because I just couldn’t hit it from the deck. And when there was an opportunity for it I just screwed it up and thinking, why did I try it again for maybe that once of a life time perfect hit? So I pulled it out of the bag and sold it. Hitting the 5w now and going much better. Better 15 yards shorter and on the fairway then mis hit a 3w and a roll out 30 yards further down the fairway.

    I used to higher the loft of my old callaway 3 wood to 16^, in order to use it easily also from the deck.
    The sim max has also a HL 3 wood (16.5^), that should work for both needs, carry distance and landing angle.
    I just ordered, based on my fitter’s suggestion...

    My experience playing with many different types of golfers, that something like a 105mph+ Driver Swing Speed is where you will actually both use a 3wood and it will be an optimal club to carry in your 14-club bag. Even at a 100mph Driver swing speed, on shorter Pars 4s, most golfers at this swing speed will reach for their Driver - whereas if you are a 105+, you will consider 3wood/Driving iron/Hybrid - so if they aren't even hitting off the tee, it won't be optimal off the fairway. Carrying both 5&7 is then more optimal

    @AriesDragon888 3 года назад +3

    Thank you very much for those thoughts and ideas. I have evolved through seeing the advantages recommended by so many of the higher degrees of loft in basically all the clubs. I am therefore thinking of going ahead with a 12 degree lofted TM driver, the Taylormade SIM2 Max 3HL (16.5 degree loft) and then eliminating the 5 Wood with a 7 Wood TM SIM2 Max at 21 degree loft (giving a bit of space between the two clubs).

    Great timing on the video. I am shopping Sim 2 Max and was leaning towards the Max D at 16 degrees to sort of split the difference in loft between a 3 and a 4. I now will go compare the 5 as well and see where it takes me. Thanks.

    Ditched the 3 wood years ago. My 5 wood carries about 225 which was the same as the 3 wood. Difference being that the 5 wood was straighter, higher & easier to hit more consistently. Most recreational golfers aren't good enough to hit the 3 wood off the deck but their ego convinces them otherwise.

    Interesting video. I carry Sim2 Max 5W and PXG 0211 7W and love both of them. I also have a Mavrik 3W that I just don’t really get it to perform for me. So you’re talking about lofts and how they’ve changed through the years and I started looking at some old clubs in the garage. (Some really old clubs) And I found a 70’s to 80’s 5 wood (Spalding Executive EZ) that’s 21 degrees, like my 7 wood. Hit it and just crushed it so easily. 😮 And an old persimmon 4 wood I found in my clutter… same happening, crushed it. 😵‍💫 Maybe I should just start playing again with some old clubs. 🤣

    this video is right on. I carry a 16* Hogan 4 wood and a Sim2 max 18* 5 wood. Only 2 degrees apart but the Hogan is 20 yards longer off the tee and much easier to hit than a 3 wood. I will use the 5 wood anywhere, a very good 205-210 club. If I only could keep one in my bag, it would be the 5 wood.

    Just picked up a sim 2 max 5 wood and I am eager to try it out. I needed a longish club that I could hit from tight lies in fairways. The bermuda grass in our Florida fairways goes dormant in winter months and many times my lie is on the ground..... literally. A 5 wood for longish fairway shots would be huge.

    Fantastic video. The shots you were hitting with the 3 wood were the ones I hit in my lesson last week with a 3 off the deck. I switch to a 5 and gained 210 carry! I felt I could hit the 5 like a 4 iron, de-lofting the club, but still gaining the height which results in more distance. Keep up the good work, Just subscribed!

    Good video. So many guys I know carry a 3w out of obligation it seems. I mean, they rarely ever pull it out, and when they do it usually doesn't go well. I guess people think longer shaft + lower loft = more distance, when in reality it only provides the potential for more distance, not a guarantee. To be fair, a lot of guys do, on occasion, hit a great shot with the 3w, and the desire to want to repeat that shot is pretty strong.

    @invisaman75 3 года назад

    A shot using 3 wood off the deck has to be an almost perfect lie whereas with 5 wood the lie could be marginal. I carry both a 3 and a 5 wood. I use 3 wood mostly off the tee when the driver is not a good option and 5 wood is used off the tee on a long par 3. Off the deck, I would not approach a green with my 3 wood but I would use the 5 wood instead. If it's a par 5 on the 2nd shot, If I can't reach the green, the lie is good and the fairway is wide I might use a 3 wood to get as close as possible.
