Why We Like It

This muscular but compact 3-wood gets its energy from a multimaterial construction that mixes perfectly, fitting pieces like an NBA general manager filling out the ideal starting five. First, the titanium body saves weight while making room for a special high-strength alloy in the face for better ball speed and distance. That face wraps around the toe region to create a larger area for faster ball speeds. Then, a carbon-composite section wraps around the back half of the crown and into the heel and toe to save more weight. A hefty tungsten soleplate lowers the center of gravity for reduced spin and optimal launch.

In this video, Jason Birnbaum shares his best confidence-building techniques and tips on how to make a solid contact with these long clubs.
