Opinions on 3 wood

Hey guys, Ive been hitting my Callaway Warbirds (3 and 5) woods for a while now and since Ive been playing a lot more and improved they just feel heavy to me and I dont get that good feeling on impact.

I hit them both fairly well but I want to upgrade so that I will get more consistency and distance as well as much lighter.

I absolutely love my TM rescue Burner 19* ( so ive pretty much stoped hitting the 5 wood) but still with the courses I play I need a solid 3 wood.

Any suggestions??? Price..around $130

Go with the Burner 3. Mine had a 50g shaft, and feels extremely light. Extremely easy to hit, too.

Do yourself a favor and try a Tour Edge Exotic 3W before you buy something else. They can be had in your price range if you get a CB1.

I'm ditching my 3 & 5 r7 woods today I believe, and I'm getting the Burner T3.

I have a 19* rescue like you(and love it) and I don't use my 5 wood. I just wanted a different 3wood. The 08 Burner line, is an extremely nice 3 wood.

I also will say, check out the TEE line up if you can, and possibly the Ping if your a ping guy.

I've got a Tee 4w that is almost as long as my HiBore 3w. The Tee's are crazy long, seriously!

I really like my R7 CGB Max 3 wood, it's very light easy to hit off the deck and I can hit it almost as far as my driver off the tee.

Hate to repeat, but I just picked up the tour burner tp strong 3 wood, and it's just simply "it"..

It's a beast of a 3wood.. I sling this club around faster than an alabama man slings his wife around the trailer.

If you like your TMade rescue, I don't think you'll be at all disappointed with the Burner 3. I haven't personally hit it, but know a lot of guys who do and they just cream it. I took some practice swings and it feels like a very balanced club.

I purchased a Nickent 3+wood (12*). Its a great club, picked it up for a bill at Rockbottom. They have other choices in loft available. It hits great off a tee or the fairway. Has a nice hybrid look to it. Not at all heavy either.
