    Default Current 3 wood and recomendations pls.

    Recently moved along my 3 wood a 2017 M1 and while it was still working I felt like trying some new. Picked up an Epic Flash (standard model) from the House of Perci and while its solid and easy to launch its not exactly blowing my skirt up. I grabbed a Mizuno St-190 TS today on Ebay and that should be here by next weekend for comparison. Anyway what 3 wood is everyone playing and what else should I try?

    I've got a 2017 M2, which i like. I hit the TM SIM titanium the other day, it's looong (maybe 10 metres longer than the M2 for me), but it's expensive, and distance isn't really my top priority in a 3 wood.I'd be interested to see how you find the Mizuno, I play the ST190 driver, and really like it.

    Yeah keen to hit it, its a bit under the radar but gets good reviews.

    +1 for the SIM titanium, however the M5 is very similar with adjustment and titanium face also. It can also be had for around half the price of the SIM.

    Picked up one of these recently from Matt - best 3 wood I have ever hit. Love it to bits. Probably the most under-rated club of the past few years.

    Currently have two in the bag , a Callaway Xhot 15 degree with a Diamana 73 x flex in it ( whiteboard I think) it’s a Rocket off the tee and off fairway haven’t found anything better because I haven’t really tried
    and playing around with a Titleist 915 16.5 degree with a Kali’li 70 stiff in it for no reason other than it was a shaft I had lying around and it fitted it really doesn’t get much of a go because I always reach for the Callaway
    I don’t need 2 woods that close but there is space in my bag , one thing I will say is I like the heavier stiffer shaft in the Callaway
    I really need to try the titty a bit more to give it a chance

    I was coming from a Rogue Sub Zero 3 wood. The driver I love and is still in the bag, but I found the fairway wood had a tendency to go hard left on me. The Mizuno is a bit longer, but more importantly, doesn’t want to go left. I have also found it easy to hit off the deck. Your mileage may vary of course ...

    I know that Mizuno has a poor reputation for woods, but this is definitely worth trying.

    I've got one of these but in 16.5* 4w spec. Has the shaft at 5w length and as Courty says they're really REALLY good.

    I've also got a 2016 M2 that is a rocket but it's definitely not as versatile as the CB5.

    Why Pete , I know the top end of my bag needs a bit of work it is also followed by a 19 degree 816 titty hybrid jacked to 21
    And sometimes there is a 2 iron in there , I know it should be a 60 wedge but oh well , I’m a golfer and sense doesn’t really come into it lmao

    Gaz, can vouch for the mizzie 3 wood. Great ball speed and wry handy off the tee and deck. Replaced my 2016 M1 3 wood and couldn’t be happier
    If it aint for sale the right price has just not been offered

    Thanks Lucas, took mine out for a whack at Vic pk range earlier in the week and it feels really powerful even with spinny range balls, cant wait to get it out on the course.

    yeah its in the bag,there wasn't much between it and Mizuno St190 ts but the Cobra was just a little easier to launch, Atmos blue 7s works for me too.

    15* 917 F2 with Rogue Max Stiff works for me. I don't pull 3W all that much...off the deck it's not often the percentage play for me.
