who carries a sub 15* 3 wood or strong 3 wood
 

Like any true gambler I almost always try to get on in 2 on a par 5 even if course management tells me not to.

been thinking about getting one but there are maybe 3 holes at my regular course that I might use it. If added of course I'll have to drop either my 2 iron, 60* wedge or my gap W but I use the gap quite often so I think that stays.

Also keep in mind it's a canyon course with lots of wind in the afternoon and there are 1 maybe 2 long uphill par 4's

I've never seen anyone carry one...but then again, I don't know anyone that uses a 2i anymore either so...I dunno. My initial reaction is that if you need to use a sub-15* 3 wood, you should not even think about going for it in 2.

I carry a 13.5* 3w and it's for the worse, I got it as a hand-me-down and I'm too cheap to buy a new one, even though I need it.

Hitting it off the tee is fine but fairway is tough, especially since I'm not very good

I carried an 11* Orlimar 3 wood for a while. HATED IT. Of course it was sold to me by a friend after I hit an absolutely perfect shot in a scramble, then it went on to let me down pretty much forever. Then a friend gave me his 13* Orlimar, same exact style and I sucked with that too. Could have been the shafts though more than anything, but regardless I was so bad with it them I had the worst swing thoughts every time, and that couldn't have helped.

I have a 13 degree Titleist fairway and a 2 iron and use them both.

FYI, to hit the ball farther you need to create a better trajectory, less loft isnt always the case, if I had it to do over I would have gotten the 15 degree, they actually have newer shallower face fairways(the F4) which may do better for me, I hit a strong draw so my lower lofted clubs dont always carry great, but thats me.

I have a 13 degree Cleveland and I love it.

15 degree? pffff

I bought a Callaway Steelhead Plus 3,5,7 set with a strong 3 (14 degree, I think) years ago.

I like it a lot, but it's my 15th club, lent it to my nephew and HE WON'T GIVE IT BACK!

Good distance and accuracy.
Great off the tees when the driver is off.

Damn him - time for an intervention.

I have a 13 degree Mizuno that I kill. The only problem is you need a decent lie to hit it off the fairway. I would pull the 2 iron if you wanted to add one.

I used to carry a 13* 3wd back when I played every day, but
I used it alot off the tee, and
I played a softer ball that spun more which helped it in the air.

And I've always had a high ball flight.

I don't think it carried more than a 15* under most circumstances, but I had confidence with it into the wind, and it would roll farther when I turned it over.

Now I hit a 15* 3 wd., but I hit more Drivers off the tee than I did back then.
