Many company web sites don't list head volume. I am looking for a shallow face. Right now the top contender is a KZG Gemini.
What do you all think?
Consider knocking some length off of your current 3W (use lead tape on the head to maintain swingweight). I play my 3W at 42.5" and am more accurate and longer with it since cutting it down.
Also, larger/deeper head is a good choice if you plan on using it as a driver replacement but it will make it more difficult to hit from the fairway. Shallow heads (like any Adams' offerings) are much more easy to hit off the deck.
Lastly, if you're having trouble hitting a 3W then your best bet might be to replace it with a 4W or maybe not even carrying anything longer than a 5W.
