Played 3 rounds and hit maybe 30 balls on the range. Then the face caved in! Great looking crease - took it back got a Titelist 980J instead - more to my liking. It really plays to the left. If you normally hit straight or with a bit of a draw LOOK OUT! It'll duck hook easily. If you hook - fugedaboutit. Sets up quite left of target as well - very closed clubface. Distance seemed OK - normally I hit 250 with 3 wood - so did this club before it broke. Ball flight is low and fairly penetrating which I liked. Funny metallic sound at impact. It has a "uniflex" shaft - felt soft but OK. (normally I play stiff in my woods). . Fairly light feeling clubhead even with steel shaft. Gets rid of a slice but too much hook.

Very good easy swap for another (different brand) club.

Stunning, feels so good, I have the 3 wood with a firm shaft. Very easy to hit and boy does it go a mile. I was going to buy the +3 but there was no need as you get a lovely penetrating flight with the standard 3 wood. A MUST BUY.

I had the opportunity to hit a Callaway Steelhead III 7-wood on the weekend and thought I would post a comparison to how it performed compared to my Callaway Steelhead Plus 7-wood. First, a little background. I've been playing Callaway Steelhead Plus fairway woulds (3,5,7) for the better part of the last 3 golf seasons. I use my 5 and 7 all the time. I often hit them off the tee (especially when I'm struggling) and constantly play them off the fairway. I have stock regular flex Callaway graphite shafts on the 5 and 7, and a stiff flex graphite on the 3. I also added a Steelhead III 9-wood which I reshafted with a El-90 regular flex graphite shaft last year. I took a demo Steelhead III 7-wood out to hit this year. I honestly had my doubts about this club b/c I found that my Steelhead III 9-wood lacks the feedback I get from my 5 and 7 Steelhead Plus's. However one swing with the Steelhead III 7-wood and this thought was erased. You can definitely tell when you catch the ball solid with this club. The club gives a nice "ping" sound when the sweet spot is hit. Its not quite as high pitched as when you hit the sweetspot on a Steelhead Plus, but still very audible. Strangely, I find my Steelhead III 9-wood lacks this sound (and maybe a reason I doubt like it as much). So how about some of the differences between the Steelhead III and Steelhead Plus 7-woods? Firstly, the Steelhead III seems to have a heavier head. I didn't weigh them, but just picking them up, the III felt like it had a heavier head. (both had the same shaft = regular flex graphite from Callaway). The trajectory of the Steelhead III is significantly higher compared to my Steelhead Plus. My Steelhead Plus has a more penetrating trajectory while the III tends to cause the ball to climb higher and then drop. Interestingly the overall distance was about the same as far as I can tell. Therefore if you are trying to hit a green and stop the ball, I would say the Steelhead III is the better choice, while if you are playing in windy conditions, I could see the Plus being more favorable. After hitting the Steelhead III 7-wood, I am now very curious to try the 3 and 5 wood as well and see if I also get the same higher ball flight with them. I am also interested in trying them with a stiffer shaft to see what this does to my ball flight and distance. I think I am starting to get to the point where the regular flex Callaway shaft is a bit to flexible and I might benefit with a stiffer shaft. Hopefully this review will be helpful to current Steelhead Plus users who are thinking of changing to the new Steelhead III's.

Best purchase I have eve made for my golf game. Perfect rplacement for the 3 and 4 irons. The Draw bias is great for me since I have a tendancy to slice. The does go really high, so wind would be a major factor. Highly reccomend for those who have trouble on 180 - 210 par 3's. Lands softly too. Of couse I have only had it for 3 rounds, but it has seriously saved me 3-4 strokes each round.

Ummmm. Never dealt with Callaway.

I bought this club about 1 year ago, and is is great! I can bomb it about 275 off the tee and it goes straiter than anything I have hit before. I have a True Temper stiff flex and it helps controll the ball. I would strongle recomend this club to any level golfer.

I used the Adams 303 steel driver, but soon learned that it had a head cracking problem and soon decided to switch to the Steel Head 3 driver.

Picked this club up at my local driving range for $75(bearly used,a steal). Before this club I was hitting a 2 iron off the tee and for second shot on par 5s. Now I hit this club on dog legs and fairways. GREAT CLUB.........

This is easily the best 7 wood I have ever owned. I sold it a few months ago simply b/c of the grass is greener syndrome and ended up having to buy another after finding the grass wasn't so green. If you are looking for length and a high ball flight, this club is it. On several occassions I have been able to take this club over some pretty tall trees and still get 200-210 yards out of it. Its easy to keep the ball flight down too when you have to. It does have a draw bias so if you have a tendency to draw the ball you need to account for that in your swing, but the results are well worth it. Also easy to hit out of the taller stuff and will pick the ball off hardpan nicely. Great all around club. If Callaway would come out with a Pro Series of this club I would buy 2 and never worry about buying another 7 wood.

Took me a while to get use to this 9W as it's the only Callaway in my stable of Taylormade 300 Series Driver and Fairway Woods (3W & 7W). Has a stronger draw bias compared to the Taylormades. Also makes a nice sound upon contact - loves this especially when @ the driving range. When the rubber meets the road, it also delivers. Recently, @ a sea side course, I had to play a 150m Par-3 against strong head wind, I took it out and did a 3-quarter swing. The ball landed 2 feet from pin for a birdie. My closest to pin, to date.

Nice crisp feel on impact. Forgiving feel on off center hits. Excellent draw on the ball flight. Much better than the Steelhead Plus and a little better than the original Steelheads due to the VFT technology. Great fairway wood.

Callaway customer service is always excellent.

I traded a Titleist 975f w/ DGS 300 for this club, and I do not regret it. This 5 wood is long, accurate, and forgiving. It is also very easy to choke down on for those 185 yard par threes on days that I am not hitting my irons that well (which unfortunately is far too frequent).

Have not had a need for it.
