Based on the test looks like he should probably use the Cobra Aerojet. That thing was consistent af and for whatever reason it was in none of his top 3, that’s wild.

I tested everything that came out this year and the tsr models. Didn't expect it to take the spot in my bag...but the dispersion you saw from.std aerojet is exactly what I saw the first time I hit it. I demo'd it about 4 times as different 3ws were released earlier this year and every time, every head to head...aerojet. Took aerojet and Stealth2+ on course and aerojet beat it. It's in my bag now. It just goes straight...just like what you saw.

Actually added a new FW wood recently, I added a new Mizuno ST-Z 230 5 wood. I like the slightly taller face both out of the rough and off the tee. But it’s not so tall to be a distraction off the fairway. 5 wood is the lowest lofted FW wood I play.

I think he forgot what category he was picking for. During the pick for Titleist, he claims he didn't like looking at the Aerojet. Looks should've been another category, he botched his choices by adding in looks vs performance.

Although not the same comparison, I compared my Rouge ST max 3 wood to TSR2 and 3 and they cant outperform my Rouge. Def. hit it longer with much better dispersion. Ironically, my TSR2 driver outperformed Rouge ST Max driver... just goes to show you have to compare all models and not stick to one brand for your bag. I have 2021 T100s' irons, Cobra Speedzone hybrids and recently went to TM MG3 wedges 52 and 56 TW grind.

Shouldn’t 3 wood be more about gapping and consistency? Where is the rating for that?. I had to get rid of a 3 wood because it went to close to my Driver in distance, I know some people might be looking for a driver back up/replacement, but most aren’t.
@2ndswing

You make a great point! In your case, you might either need a driver with lower loft or you might want to replace the 3 wood with the 5 wood. But you're right -- if your 3-wood doesn't gap adequately in the bag, then it won't work!

Sometimes I wonder why these are referred to as "Fairway Woods". I would call them 3-woods, especially as these are all 15*. Many people have difficulty hitting a 15* 3-wood off the grass and use it almost exclusively off the tee. So I would think that a "Fairway Wood", aimed at use off the grass, would be something with a little more loft than 15* (not a 3-wood). Granted that most 3-woods have adjustable hosels that you can adjust for more loft - but you can only make that adjustment BEFORE the round to comply with rules. Most people likely better off with a 5-wood.

I generally have between 100-105 chs with driver. I found my optimal setup is the TM Ti 5w as it spins SO LOW and launches SO HIGH that I can roll out to 245 along with a Ping 7w that I can hit 225 all the way down to 190 with a spinny cut. 3w has never worked for my game.
@craciunator99

Its just a distinction from a driver. Also "fairway woods" is the whole category from 3 wood down to 7, 9, 11 wood, whatever you want, and those are definitely used off the fairway. Amateur golfers with issues hitting a 3 wood off the turf simply should use a 3 wood off the turf, move to something like a 5 wood and tune down the loft, or maybe a 7 wood, the higher lofted fairways are much much easier to hit off the turf than your standard 15 degree 3 wood.
@zazhou
Жыл бұрын
Fairway woods of different lofts are similar to wedges of different lofts in that they can serve slightly different purposes. A 3 wood is used typically for maximum total distance for second shot on par 5 holes and where carry is not as important, while a 7 wood needs to carry a green and hold the green and therefore spin and descent angle is important. For wedges, PW and GW are generally full shot clubs, while LW is more for short pitches and chips over greenside hazards.

You’re so off 😂 they said at the beginning that they tried to keep it to standard shafts and get them similar. Anyways, the Ventus TR Red 6S non Velocore isn’t a 60 gram shaft. People get that wrong so often. Its 67 grams uncut just like the other shafts are 70 grams uncut. If you really think 3 grams on shaft labels on non premium shafts that probably haven’t been checked for consistency is the difference in this test you’re dead wrong 😂. It’s not even that relevant as it was pretty middle of the road for swing speed compared to the “heavier” shafts. The difference clearly was smash factor. He hit it in a better spot on the face because the shaft timing, head shape, and swing weight matched his swing better than the other set ups. Im not even a fan of TaylorMade but im a fan of getting facts straight 🙂

Thanks for watching! As we noted at the beginning, we got as close as we could with the fitting components we had available at the time. We found the closest profile we could to the other shafts. So you're right in the sense that it's not a true 100% head to head comparison. Our apologies!
