All of this S3 hate in here stiiiiiiiiings. I love mine 😅

Awesome points here and thanks for the different perspectives (and taking the time). Gapping from the 3i instead of the driver is something I haven't really thought about. the 3i is great off of the tee and fairway, I don't really risk it out of bad lies in the rough. If its a bad lie in the rough I usually will take an iron to be sure it gets back out there and stays in play. Its a 235-240 club for me if I'm being honest. Ideally a 250-260 club is what would make a difference. Driver is about 290-300 total (not carry) on a good day. Aside from all of this, the courses I play on a regular basis, I'm never really in a situation all that often where I'm standing behind a shot saying I wish I could hit 3w here or I NEED to hit 3w here. If the tee shot isn't driver its always 3i for me. It would just be nice to have another option when needed. Changing an approach shot to 15-20 yards closer to the green would always be nice. I'm honestly never in a situation where I'm 270+ from a green and wishing I could try to get there. It would just be nice to poke it a little further than the 3ui on the tee where driver isn't the move.

I haven't made the mini purchase yet, I've only swung it at a shop. Current setup is driver, 3w, 3iu, 4-LW, putter. Wouldn't be opposed to a 5 wood, I just want something that will get in the air with ease but I can't pull the 3iu out of the bag its too good for me

I'll try and get over to one of my local shops and swing the 16.5. I fear 5w would be too close to my u505 3i. I don't want to get rid of that club its been a favorite for the past couple seasons

just can't hit 3w for sh**, it's a bag decoration so I'm looking for alternatives. The amount of shaft combinations I've tried in my gt2 15* is diabolical

Has anyone experienced with 3w length or slightly shorter shaft length in a mini driver head? To cut some distance off so it isn’t as close to driver? Really considering trying this and pulling 3w from the bag but I don’t see a point in having both driver and mini if they are only 15-20 yards apart. Would be a tee club 90% of the time. getting swing weight correct would be in play all said and done, etc.

Great info! Definitely sounds like a weapon for you. Although you should've never told me any of this........🤣 I'll have to get on a monitor this off season and check one out. Enjoy the new set!

Do you mind sharing your experience with the GT280 while you were there? What kind of insight did the fitter give on this as far as why he recommended it? I'm really struggling with 3w this year and have been interested in entertaining a GT280. It would mostly be a tee club unless there isn't any forced carry or trouble trying to get after a par 5 in two. The 3w (GT2) is a bag decoration and has been all year. I'm just worried about it only being 15 yards shorter than driver which makes me hesitant. 30-40 yards shorter would be ideal. Great looking set

In! Lets go!!

What are you gaming now in 3w?
