Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from nevi adams who asked fellow members their thoughts on what has been the best 3-wood released in recent years. With an emphasis on “the hottest/ most forgiving 3-wood out there”, WRXers have been sharing their opinions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

the bishop: “Feels like we’ve been in a golden era of FW’s the last few years. I won’t say it’s hard to go wrong, but it’s easy to go right if that makes any sense. I haven’t done a lot of comparing, but I’ve got a 2016 TM M1 that’s a tour issue head that is a really good club. Great driver alternative on shorter/tighter par 4’s but plenty long. It doesn’t lag for distance.”
10of14: “The fairway wood has always been my Achilles heel over the years until I discovered the Ping G25. While I’ve tried to unseat it with some new model trials, I’ve returned to it. It is super easy to hit off the deck. I bag both the 16.5* and 20.0* with the Diamana S+ 70 Blue shaft. A close second for me was the Callaway Rogue, which is definitely longer and better off the tee for me, but not as good off the deck where I need it most. Not the sexiest of choices given all the new stuff, but works for me.”
bodhi555: “You can’t go too far wrong with any modern FW – I had great results with my old Vapor Fly. Sadly I got very angry with myself during Club Championship last year, and it kind of developed a rattle after bouncing off a tree root, so needed a replacement. Tried a couple, but long story short, the 917 F3 is an absolute weapon – I gained 20 yards on the Nike instantly. It was also 10 yards longer than the TS3 I initially had in mind.”
Young Money: “My vote would go to the G410. I’ve always struggled missing left with 3-woods, and I hit this one so much better.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
