It is such a great head, everything I want and need for a 3 wood.If I didn’t already have a super deep faced 3w….

Let us know how it goes. I love the 5 wood. So easy to hit off the tee or the deck.Yesterday I received an ST-G 440 3-wood with LIN Q M40X 6F4 shaft. I've never before hit any shots with this head or shaft but hope to try it out at the driving range today or tomorrow. It's been about 2 years since I had a 3-wood in the bag. My current set up is driver, 5-wood, 3 and 4 hybrid.
Hopefully this new 3-wood will become a good tee box club for me that on my home course I could use on five of the par 4 holes and one of the par 5 holes.
My plan has been to try the 3-wood first knowing that I have 90 days to exchange it for a 5-wood. If after a few rounds of golf I find the 3-wood just produces low bullet shots and, or is not especially accurate, I will send the 3-wood back to TGW and request a 5-wood.Let us know how it goes.

Wait, and this is a sincere question, weren’t you advocating that people should be hitting 3 wood off the tee in another thread and while doing that, you haven’t actually been carrying a 3 wood? That having been said, I hope it works for you. I absolutely love mine. It is one of the very best 3 woods that I have ever owned.Yesterday I received an ST-G 440 3-wood with LIN Q M40X 6F4 shaft.

I advocate less than driver from many tee boxes. Most people want to hit driver from every par 4 and par 5 tee box, and as such they don't want to hit a 3-wood, so suggesting less than 3-wood is not a welcome message. Without a 3-wood in the bag I use a 5-wood, sometimes a 3-hybrid.Wait, and this is a sincere question, weren’t you advocating that people should be hitting 3 wood off the tee in another thread and while doing that, you haven’t actually been carrying a 3 wood?

Today I was able to visit a driving range and give my new ST-D 440 3-wood some swings. For tee boxes I tee up a fairway wood very low, similar to the height one might use for a par-3 iron club tee shot. Unfortunately for the driving range synthetic mats I did not have any super low rubber tees, nor did the range provide them, so I did not hit any 3-wood shots from a tee. I did strike 6 or 7 balls from the worn synthetic mats and all were consistently straight, low trajectory, and landing with hot bounce and roll.Let us know how it goes. I love the 5 wood.

Today for the first time I had the ST-G 3-wood out on the course and played it from six par 4 tee boxes. The final two tee box shots were the best, which I attribute to gaining familiarity with the new club. Strong positives were the dense-muted impact sound-feel. Also I like the head size and shape for tee box play.Let us know how it goes. I love the 5 wood. So easy to hit off the tee or the deck.
Today I played my second round with the ST-G 400 3-wood. I swung it from 3 tee boxes and 4 fairway lies. Off the tee all three of the shots were solid-square strikes with a medium height trajectory. From the fairway lies all shots went straight with a low trajectory. For the total of 7 shots, I liked the impact sound-feel very much.Let us know how it goes. I love the 5 wood.

Are you seeing the distances that you would be hoping for, both off the tee and the fairway?Today I played my second round with the ST-G 400 3-wood. I swung it from 3 tee boxes and 4 fairway lies.

Next week when I play this club again, before the round I will probably crank the loft up a degree, from 15* to 16*. Hopefully that change will elevate my fairway shots a little bit but not make the tee box shots too high.
In recent weeks Northern California has had lots of rain, and the courses are saturated, so no bounce and roll. My guess is that once the ground is dry the STG 3-wood shots will produce a bit more bounce and roll for me than a normal 3-wood. For carry distance I've seen no increase versus a normal 3-wood, but that is probably because the ST-G was designed for a higher swing speed player than myself.Are you seeing the distances that you would be hoping for, both off the tee and the fairway?
When I purchased mine, it was kind of hit and miss until I put a different shaft in it and the club then came alive for me. It now generates tremendous ball speed, relative to my swing speed.

Rather than distance, the primary reasons I expect to keep this new club in the bag are the pleasing impact sound-feel and the straight-shot-accuracy.
I like the 3-wood's LIN Q M40X 6 weight shaft because it's smooth enough without being too loose, and it's also not too stout-rigid feeling. I like it enough to seek out a 5 weight version of the same shaft to try in my ST-Z 220 driver.When I purchased mine, it was kind of hit and miss until I put a different shaft in it and the club then came alive for me.
