Best 3W you have been playing.......

Looking for feedback and info sharing on 3W. 

Played 913, 910, R9, RBZ, R11, G10 - all not to my liking.
Have been playing 909F2 for a year
Recently tried R5, Burner TP; love the sole but too much offset for my eyes.

What 3W have you played; your best choice and why. Thx.

hi bro, have u tried Cally Optiforce with OBAN shaft by BFG yet? nice easy feel, distance 'no horse run'  

Tour issue burner version 2 fairway woods! Depending on spec most have square to open clubface! 

Have mine in kajiki 80 shafts and they are perfect of fairway and tee.

I am using Ping Anser FW 16.5... one word for it... Awesome!
I have not tried the 913F... but I tried the 913 hybrid... and IMHO...I felt that the Anser FW is way more forgiving than the 913H...

cobra amp cell with tour ad di 6s shaft. 
can leave driver at home..

actually for me its the shaft that made the diff. any head can liao.. used maruman shuttle with same shaft same result.. orange color is a bonus on amp cell head.

The new PRGR Egg 3W is highly recommended, easy to launch, forgiving and straight if you can accept the shape.

Ryoma F2/F3 will give u one of the longest distance if do not mind the price and the metallic sound.

Tried many ie: Maruman Nano, Burner Superfast, 909F, 910F, 913F, Anser, G25 & current xhot JV. 
Xhot JV my pick over G25. 
Yes, agreed w akhild tat right choice of shaft play an important role too. 

mine is a Nike VR Pro doing a good job currently...
nice 3W for me...

2nd that ~ XHot JV, still the club for me

So far for me the best is X-hot 3W.

Callaway Opticforce- Even with stock shaft... it never fails me when my drivers failed...  

[size=31]I agree with optiforce. Haven't tried any 3w easier than that.[/size]

how is optiforce compared to xhot (both global spec w/stock shaft)? thanks

You may want to consider 5W instead. Easier to launch and not much distance loss. The higher launch also means that you can attack the green for long par 4 or short par 5.

I usually use a softer flex for my FW as compared to the driver as I tend to swing slower for FW.

If you can share your budget, I am sure fellow golfers here can provide you better advice.

rbz stage 2 regular flex asian spec amazingly forgiving n long. off the tee only 10 ish m shorter than my average  driver Rbz stage 2, global spec shaft.

just switch to xhot pro 15 degree , ad mt-6 shaft stiff, a few  more boo boo here n there than Rbz cos the pro is a little smaller n less forgiving . but overall it is longer n straighter ( more predictable)  when  hit i it well( when i control my back swing !) . so sticking with it !

personally using the TM RBZ S2 3W on a regular US spec. same distance with my driver. love it.

Maruman m sole shuttle in stock SR shaft!

I use to play the Taylormade Burner Superfast 3 wood and absolutely LOVED that thing..... until it broke on me...

Now playing the RBZ Stage 1 (stock stiff shaft) and it is a beast.... a bit of time to adjust, but have learned to love it and is one of the most consistent clubs in the bag this year

Agreed. I tried 3w for a couple of years. Switched to the Cally RFX 5w about 3 mths back and have no desire to change now.

tried 910f, 913fd, cleveland FL, Yamaha Inpres X, TM Vsteel, G20.

In my opinion, Yamaha is the easiest to play & I think its because of the shaft. Yesterday traded my 913fd with Prgr Egg Spoon (always wanted to try this) and went to the range... need some time to get used to the weight before deciding whether it is my "best" 3fw...

The 3W is important for me as I am a short hitter. I need it both off the deck and off the tee for long par 3s and when driver is not working. 

I used Maruman Shuttle, Taylormade Burner Superfast, Taylormade RBZ and now Callaway xHot in that order. I must say the xHot is the best 3W I have had. It is long and easy to launch. Of course, it might be because I was fitted for it and also, over time my swing has also become a little more consistent than before  

just curious, no Cobra fans here? 

My trusty Ping K15 #3 wood with stock shaft........ good dispersion and distance combo....!

Yes, I am! I am using the old Cobra S3 FW3 & 5 ... Fantastic penetrating trajectory ... These two FWs could be long if I can achieve a sweet connection ...
