Posted May 11, 200519 yr comment_93845 I have been playing a Callaway Steelhead Plus 3wd w/ stock Reg flex shaft since day one. There is a huge distance gap between my Driver and 3wd. My driver is a TM r7 MAX w/ GD W-60 Stiff shaft, but I also hit the TS X-Drive w/ GD M-65 Stiff really well too. A drive on the screws goes a good 225yds, but the same for the 3wd only 180 yds max. My Cally 3wd is an old club, and I was hoping a new one may add some distance. I'm very conservative when it comes to changing clubs. And I'm am looking for a new 3 wood that feels similar to the Callaway Steelhead Plus. I know there are many current and former Steelhead Plus users. Have any of you replaced it with something better? Also, any fairway wood shaft suggestions? Many thanks..
May 11, 200519 yr comment_93869 i loved my steelhead plus, sometimes i wish i never got rid of it. if you like the way it sets up, try the new big bertha fairways, theyre somewhat similar. also i heard the fusion fairways are decent. also, you cant go wrong with sonartec. lastly, if you can track down a TM 300 tour, theyre also good for distance. sometimes when mine's in my bag, it comes within 10 yards of my driver if i strike it solid and square. someone told me the R5 fairways are similar in distance to the 300 tour, so you might want to give that a shot as well. as far as shafts go, go demo a bunch and see what you like for feel. i like the fuji vistas for fairway shafts, and the old-school EI-70's. good luck!

May 12, 200519 yr comment_93909 i let go my original steelhead 3wood when the plus model came out. the plus was not as long, i think because it is 16 degrees.
