Like I wrote in another post, equipment doesn't really matter

sdandrea1 After 18 holes I'd move the Honma XP-1 into OMG Holy Grail status.
It's a striper.
Bullshit!
This is just your own way of self-subliminal thinking, in order to build up the $$ stash that will buy the next Holy Grail.
It is futile. You tried it, it was great, sell it now!! Move along....'while we're young'. Dammit.

I've been demoing a Callaway Big Bertha B21 3w for a few weeks. This club has more offset than I've ever seen in a Callaway. I'm not much for 3 woods since I struggle to launch them off off tight turf, but I gave this a try on our long par 3s. It launches well for me off a tee and it's pretty easy to hit straight. The stock A flex shaft feels solid. I have used it off the fairway on a few par 5s and while I can't launch it high, the low running shots roll out much further than my Perfect Club.

Typhoon Screw the 3 wood Steve. Go with a 5 wood. What you should try is go ask the proshop for the 5 wood and use the 3 wood shaft in the 5 wood head.
Check the 5 first to see if it has an adjustable hosel if that is an issue. I have the Cally BB Epic driver and 3w. I ordered a 5 from CPO but it did not have an adjustable hosel like the driver and 3 and I returned it.

I read somewhere a few years ago that most senior golfers shouldn't play with anything stronger than a 20*
fairway wood. I decided to try it, so I found a 20* Orlimar Plus (deeper face than their ridiculously shallow
original) on Ebay and reshafted it with a senior shaft. That club has been great for me....I hit it about 180,
good trajectory, etc.

That's assuming the player needs the launch. Playing the ball along the ground here in the winter is viable strategy. However, I agree that a 3w is a wasted club in my bag. I can only effectively use it off a tee and I could use my driver instead.
That sucks Steve, I was hoping it had an adapter. See if they have some fwβs from another brand and try changing the shafts out
Try the Ping G425 SFT 3 Wood. Itβs 16 degrees, but can be adjusted to 17.5 degrees.
Better yet. Get the G425 SFT 5 wood which is 19 degrees, but can be adjusted to 20.5 degrees.
Sneakylong They have to willing to part with a demo they wonβt see for 3-6 months though
