Housey Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I am discovering that the Japanese market is a dangerous rabbit hole to go down... After a lifetime of struggling to find a three wood that I like, I now have 4, all of which have a chance of going in the bag. S Yard xv (kuro kage black tini 80) Kamui pro tp xf (tour ad f65 stiff) jbeam tf-3 (crazy regenesis fw 80 stiff) Mystery c-ht 511 fd (fsp mx-fw 60 6.3) Can any of you compared any of these head to head? (Meaning heads rather than the specific head shaft combos I have mentioned) Are there other classics I should potentially seek out? (Bearing in mind, I'm looking for reasonably priced second hand clubs that I might be able to get my hands on in the UK - none of the above cost me more than £40) (100 mph driver, low ball hitter, tendency to miss left so prefer square or open faces... Will get a mix of fairway and tee use) Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andew Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I recently got a set of axis fairway woods 14* and 17.5* They're slightly open. I really like them. They are upright too which i like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 syard - good off grass , shaft plays pig part in this set up , better ( one of the very best from tee)_. kamui pro superb off deck ( one of the best) not so from tee, too sleek, elongated oblate , ballooning more than possible for tee. jbeam - similar to te syard. same as mystery. - crazy fw series - prob ebst from tee, higher lofted ones great form grass royal collection ( i use ) best over all combos . ryoma better off grass, sorts o usab;e from tee box, NOT TEE, same as prgr egg . prgr egg mfd- cud posssbly be, along with RC ( shaft dependent HUGE here ) the best of all of them..very finicky with shst selection unnervingly straight. almost imposible to zing about modart - allrounder again off grass superb, off tee BOX, not tee, very solid , best feel on ANY FW on planet earth. jsut dont need a tee.

Housey Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Thanks very much for your responses. Just had the chance to hit some of the three woods side by side... The jbeam is a "3+" which I had assumed was a strong three wood but it launches pretty high and further research seems to suggest it is actually a 4 wood at 17.5*. I agree the Kamui is difficult to hit from the tee and the Mystery seems quite similar...43.5 and 44" respectively and quite difficult to make consistently good contact. Loving the jbeam and s yard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housey Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Owari.... Sorry, I can't resist asking which royal collection three wood you would recommend... I was a big fan of sonartec and still carry a hb001 hybrid (albeit I appreciate this was pretty much the only sonartec club that wasn't a straight USA remarketing of a royal collection design!)

Housey Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 I have my eye on a bbd's 304t... I don't suppose you know the difference between that and the S which you have pictured please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housey Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 Oops... I see yours is a 304f which I think must be a slightly later model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
