SuperStroke
Hit the 16.0 a LOTTTTTTTT today, and other than one junky swing, hit it really well among the 20+ MPH winds.

This has a shot. The thing is, I would have to drop 3W, then the 19.0 as well, and replace that. If the 23.0 tour head I have would fill that gap, then it’s easy, but I don’t know if it would.

The gap between the 16 and 23 too big?

Not for my needs. Plus, I worry more about distance gaps than loft gaps.

I’d actually have to go 23 UW aaaaand 23 UT in that setup.

I was meaning the distance gap between 16 and 23.

I know, which is what I was talking about in the first sentence. The second was a follow up adding to that about how that setup would work out.

I don’t focus on loft gaps, it’s all distance gaps for me, and the 16/23/23 would separate well, likely 255/225/215 carry sequencing.
 
I am currently 17°/21°/4h(23°) with gaps around 240/225/210

If I could find one I would replace the 4h with a 23° UW and shorten the shaft a touch. Try and fill the same gap. The thing I like about the UW over hybrid is it is less likely to miss left for me.
 
So....the 16 degree UW....

And don't mind the optimizer red numbers, I still had it set on driver.
 
The UW is a club that gets me excited, Never thought I was going to have a FW in my bag that I would trust and want to hit again. I now get more excited about hitting the UW more than my UT's... This thing has great flight.. i am seeing a mid flight with either a straight ball flight or fade.. but is also very workable if needs to be with control... unlike a hybrid,

Haha! Right?

It’s really easy to hit, just like the 19, but I don’t know if it’s worth dropping my 3w for.

It was hit hard. And that was after 3 hours on the monitor. Last shot I hit of the day. 🤣

It is!! IMO. I've actually replaced my 3 wood with the 17*. So I have Driver, 17* UW, then 21* UW

So, what you are saying is I need a 16* UW?

You don’t want to spend what I did, it was dumb, hahaha

17 hand picked at 16

You’ve seen how amazing the 19 is though, it’s kinda that do it all club so a 17 would infringe on that

Fair enough. BUT I have seen how I was hitting my 3W. Welcome to the 17* baby!!

Think I've heard you say on numerous occasions that options are great. Do you hit either of them better than the other?

3W is a weapon for me, could this be? Maybe. But I also wouldn’t be able to play the 19 anymore

Got it- purpose and bag make up for you. Makes sense, but still some d@mn good numbers.

How do the numbers with this compare to the 3w?
