    As long as you allow for lack of spin when hitting into greens from 170 you shouldn’t have a problem.

    No i meant using a chipper for chipping, and blading them as far as a 3w instead.

    If I have to summaries my experience, I will say the following are what went wrong for me:

    1) Bad advises from varies people. Fellow golfers, coaches/pro, salesmen <-- yep that is kind of my own doing.
    2) Badly fitted 3 woods, hybrids or driving irons
    3) Consistence of impact... this one is a little more complicated. 1/2 the reason because of golf lessons/practice and 1/2 because of ill fitted equipment.

    To cut my story short, the following is what I would recommended:

    1) use club face impact spray or sticker to see if you have a pattern on your 3 wood impact. If you do - luck! Jump to point 4. If you don't like I did, follow point 2
    2) Please consider cut down the shaft of your 3 wood to 5 wood/hybrid length. (Choke down won't work, at least I don't have the discipline to remember choke down every time)
    3) Try different club heads whenever possible, when found one. Pay for and stick to it. (Currently I am using a Baldo Competizione 568 14*, literally costed me arm and then the leg. But for the sake of consistent 3w impact, it's worth it!)
    4) Try different shafts until you found one that works.

    and by now you should be able to find a 3 wood that will works good somehow, no matter how good/bad your swing is. Then:

    5) Find a pro that YOU CAN ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE clearly, have lessons with him/her to correct your swing flaw to improve not only your 3 wood but all the rest of your clubs.

    That's my story in the last 2 years. Works well for me still.

    And now, I can hit tour spoon, 3 wood, hybrids of any loft, driving irons etc.... following and repeating my above steps.
