3w has always been the worst club in the bag. Have never hit one consistently well. My current PXG is the closest I've come to having a 3w I don't hate. Normally, I will deloft a 5w to get more consistent shots.
Let’s move that weight around and see the stats!
Isn’t that weight in the bottom just a harbinger of mud!
Still using the Taylor Made burner 3 wood and use it more times per round than my driver for accuracy, definitely interested in this though!
I already ordered mine. Comes in 2 weeks
Look like the nike covert !
The M1 was so nice I’ll give that to Taylor made
But last year (I’m team titleist) I bought the or should I say my dad bought the stealth 2 3 wood so we tried them against each other we both ended up with titliest 3 wood. Bc the taylormade went about 3 yards further but was sometimes left sometimes right (for both of us) granite he plays a almost stiff flex I play a stiff flex shaft
I would like to see you adjust it James to see the difference, great review
I bought a ping G410 3wood new a few years ago and I love it, it’ll be hard to get rid of it, I hit it almost as far as my driver, but I’d like to try the that new 3wood
Hi James hope you and Laura are well did you also see Rory used Voeky wages not Taylor Made
I hit one shot with the Stealth 3 wood from last year. I was on vacation and used rental clubs. All the clubs were Stealth. It was the best 3 wood shot I've hit in almost 30 years. Just an absolute rocket launcher!
Same sentiment as you, James. I have been looking for a new fairway wood since October 2022 and even with the Jan 2023 releases, it is clear that fairway woods are an after thought for most manufacturers. Even more so for any wood that is not a 3 wood. Very disappointing.
Not that interested in the fairway woods
Looks and sounds super. Plus having the adjustments would make me want to buy it. Except, I'm currently only using my 3 Wood on one hole in 18. As for height ? Not a great believer in height as longer and higher in the air means more likely the wind is going to effect the ball, but of course sometimes we do want height for various reasons….tee up and tilt the body, if height is what you require.
Only use a 3 wood. Have a sim max2 with a 7 wood shaft that is so easy to hit. Guaranteed 230+ yards every time, and unlike the driver, it normally goes where its pointed 👉
I agree i am more excited for the stealth 2 5 wood for some of my second shots on Par 5s
I think the biggest talking point it the fact he had titleist wedges in the bag
Numbers and distances on multiple channels/testers have shown that there is no difference between this and last years Stealth Plus and Stealth 3 woods. No reason to waste your money and find last years for 1/2 the price.
What is the purpose of that line of wooden poles seen at 4:15? I've never seen anything like this at any of the courses I play here in the USA.
Higher handicappers use 3 woods so they have a chance of reaching the green in 2 or have a short 3rd to hopefully get close to the pin . So it’s a v important club to us mortals.
Love a 3 wood wish I still had my r9 3 wood
Definitely show us what it can be and do!
I always like to see new drivers the most, only because the fairway woods I play are perfect for me. I use the 20+ year old Ping Tisi 3,5,7 and 9 woods more than any others I have. Occasionally I’ll cycle in my Cobra LTD Spaceport 3 and 5 woods for variety or if I wanna carry more irons and/or wedges but I always go back to my original lineup. They all use the Ping Aldila 350 series shafts. My typical driver are Ping G410 Plus or G410 LST or Cobra LTD Spaceport, all with a variety of Aldila shafts. I don’t get to play all year round so I’ll start my year with weaker shafts and certain woods/irons then as I improve I’ll move on to the stiffer options. Hopefully I’m gonna make a move to Florida soon and I’ll play year round at that point. Thanks for all you do to keep your YouTube Community up to date James. You Rock buddy!
I love fairway woods, and still looking for a 3 wood that'll beat my Cobra F9. Still didn't find yet!
When are the Callaway and Taylormade driver giveaways happening?
Nice one James!!!
Hi James yes I would like to see your results with All the adjustments moving the bottom weight (to all positions) & sleeve adjustments + & – 👍, plus describing the shot flight changes, Thanks Dickey
James I’m wondering if you’re aware that it costs $140 – $220 for me to receive your giveaway item that I won on your channel?
I get more excited about new hybrids than either drivers or fairway woods
I'd like to see how versatile this is.
With the prices of new clubs, I'm sticking with Sub 70 from now on
As the spin of fairway woods has become much more controlled strong 3 woods (13.5) have become even more viable than ever before. I have an Epic Speed 3+, MMT 70x and in 14g forward weight. I'm regularly into the 165mph ball speeds with it and far more consistent than I am with a driver. Playing partners often say that I shouldn't even bother with the driver and instead introduce perhaps another wedge, or hybrid into the bag instead.
As always great video. I would definitely watch a video of you adjusting the club to your swing and then compare the stats of a non adjusted club verses a fully adjusted club.
Hey James! For a swing speed of 85-90 and at 5”7 what you think it would be like for driver replacement 🤔⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can you just tell me plainly? G430 vs Paradym, which is more forgiving, which goes further, and if one is more forgiving but just by a couple yards, then better to go with the one that goes further (and vise-versa, if one is 2 yards further, but the other is way more forgiving. I watched a ton of vids. Everyone says they’re all good. When they test, they hit them professionally, so who know how forgiving they really are. I can’t wrap my head on which one. I’m stuck figuring on g430, Paradym, ltdx
Hi James sorry but this is unrelated to your video but have you tried to contact me as I have received an email from your YouTube site but I think it’s a con
Then don't play this year's model, by second hand. Problem solved
It looks a super clean club head behind the ball
