What Shaft for 3Wood

[990B Luva]

The Purple Ice in my 3wood snapped when my bag fell into a tree on the 12th hole today, i found out on the 16th, i am just wondering what shaft would be suitable for a 3wood

[goughy]

Depends on what you are looking for and what sort of dollars you want to spend. Give us an idea?

[nick]

Why not get the same shaft again cause they are really nice shafts.

am thinking about steel Tezza, what steel shaft would be best do you think

[goughy]

You seem to use reg shafts? How about something like a dynalite gold shaft. Softer tip to help get the ball in the air. They're really just the lighter, lower kick version of a dynamic gold. I think hogan use them as the standard shaft in there irons and hybrids in australia.

Steel Technology,black lite..very close to DG

Around $30 fitted at the Oxley range.

Just ask Andylo how they go.

i may use the ProLite i have sitting in my bedroom doing nothing, i also need a shaft for my 5wood, prefer to keep that Graphite, i had a friend suggest Nippon graphite

sweet, i will see if Andylo is playing at Jindalee in the Jindalee Cup, if so i may have a burl with his 3wood(if he lets me)

[andylo]

I'm using Nippon NS Pro graphite 70g in my woods - love them. You'll probably need the flex to be Stiff as I play Reg & I swing like a big girl :D

[gazgolf1]

I like a light shaft in my 3 wood and I've got a Penley Tour Light (64 gms) in my 200 Tour.
I reckon guys with girly swings like mine can benefit from lighter shafts in their fairway woods.
A strapping youngster like you 990 should ignore this post altogether and keep eating your vegies. :wink:

[McMw]

got the DGS300 in my Vsteel atm...am liking it...
it's doing everything I hoped, and the distance loss is not noticable (if any)...

but I'm already ready to switch to either the prolite or the TTEI70 if it stops working!!! :wink:

MY CLUB..MY CLUB.. MY BEAUTIFUL CLUB :shock: :(

[Jarro]

I'd probably go with a steel shaft ... 8)

Well i am getting my Prolite installed as i type this, it is a ProLite 35x that i got from Hackin' Jim so i will let you guys know how it is when i hit it next

[Jarro]

What's with the glossing over of the details here?
Your bag "fell" into a tree. :shock:
Surely there is a story behind this.

[jaster]

I'm with AndyP....bag fell into a tree is the poorest excuse I've every heard!!!! :lol: :roll: Full and real story please?

As for shafts, get steel...straighter and cheaper than graphite and less likely to break from certain trees that get in the way 8)

[990B Luva]

I put my bag down near the 13th tee, because i only needed to take puttr to the green, my bag fell over, and when i got back to it it was leaning (barely) against a tree, when i took 3 wood out on the 16th, the entire butt fell off, from the base of the logo on the shaft

I payed nothin' (thanks James) for the shaft. and the run for $150 new

[jaster]

That's crazy!!! :? I'd be taking a smash at that tree with my sand wedge everytime I walked past it ;)

Hey the shaft was free and i need one for the 3 wood and it was sitting in my bedroom doing nothing so i thought i would put it in 3 wood in total it is costing me $8 including being cut down to suit (keeping the GP Tour Velvet already on it)

Yeah, he lives in Syderny (sounding like Ex IOC president) he sent me a PM on ISG saying dont worry about paying for it i offered but he said not to

[Fishman Dan]

Hang on, you've got a snapped 3 and 5 wood? This must be one hell of a tree??

When this bag fell on said tree, did it fall from, say, 10 metres away?

Makes more sense if it was the tree falling on the bag, doesn't it? :?

[McMw]

sheesh ppl...think outside the box!!! :roll: :lol:

he's prob got a crap stand on his bag, the bag fell into a tree... 8)

JAT... :lol:

ROFL!!!

Must be using paper bag to carry clubs too!!!

:smt046 :smt044 :smt043

[jaster]

I agree, comeon mate, when I was younger I use to throw clubs 30m in the air in anger and they landed with a massive smash but never broke, slammed them into the ground...no break....yours falls over and breaks not 1 but 2??? Your the unluckiest dude I've ever heard of!!! :lol: :lol:

[terryand]

I know what it was :idea:

It was thr TREE iron that did the damage when it was thrown back at the bag, aiming for the the top :wink:

But didn't quite get the rotation right and failed to slide into the bag like it was meant to and caught the bag flush across the middle :smt112 :smt103

Just an error in the judgement of the spinning club.....Honest mistake anyone of us could have made :smt101 :smt043

Keep going with this please - it is going to form the basis of a new script I am working on - you guys are all hilarious - this thread could make me rich !

[AndyP]

How did the driver survive this unfortunate incident? Wouldn't it have copped the force of the blow being the longest club in the bag? :?

[jaster]

The Driver was on the other side of the bag so did not get any of the impact at all luckily :twisted:

[Fishman Dan]

It wasn't some MacBeth-style attack between the woods? In order for the Driver to remain King, he had to kill the pesky 3- and 5-woods?

And in true Roman Polanski style, there was a beheading.

[drunken]

Can't say I've ever broken a club.

I may have overused one a few times, but it usually sits above & on the bag :twisted:
