I was looking for a 3 wood that I could use primarily off the tee and occasionally off the fairway. After reading all the great reviews and hearing so many good things I thought the quadpros would work out great. The 3 wood goes nice and straight most of the time. Very forgiving. Easy to get up in the air. Great feel. The only thing I found lacking is distance. I hit my driver around 270-300 yards (115 mph swingspeed) and all I can get out of this thing is 240 MAX (usually 230- I hit my 3 iron 220) from the tee. I think this wood is better suited to be hit off the deck or by someone with a lower swingspeed. It is the easiest, friendliest club I have ever used but I think the problem lies in the weighting (low and back) and shallowness of the face. This causes my ball to get up very fast and baloon then land and almost stick. If you need a wood to hit off the fairway or to a green with a hazard in front or if you have problems with distance (i.e. lower swingspeed/high handicapper) then this club will likely be the one you are looking for. If you are a fairly advanced player with a fast swingspeed looking mostly for a "safe driver" then there are better clubs for the job.

I've had this club now for over a year, and I can honestly say that I don't care for it. I don't know how many times I've opted for a 3 iron rather than a wood and sacrifice the distance just so I can keep this puppy on the fairway. Because Cleveland fairway metals have such a great rep., I thought it was me. But now I think differently. I mean, crap, I play blades and I hit my 975ds fine. But for some reason, this fairway wood doesn't do it for me. Here are the reasons... (1) The standard bimatrix shaft that it comes with SUCKS! I really mean it. First of all, the flex point is, in my opinion, way too high on the shaft and the corresponding still tip is very stiff. It is not a good combination, because you have to have a swing with very active wrists to bring the club face around properly. For people that tend to square the face by dropping their arms into the slot and bringing the shoulders and arms around fast rather than "flicking" at the ball with their wrists, the bimatrix shaft is horrible and will consistently fade the ball. That's not too bad, but if you draw the ball consistently, a fade can be unnerving at times. (2) The club head is too light. This is huge problem. Compared to titleist's fairway metals, cleveland feels like a feather. Marry this with the lightness of the bimatrix shaft and you've got serious problems in controlling your shots. Having said this, everyone has their idiosyncracies. If you tend to like lighter clubs and you are a bit more wristy with you swing, this may work for you. However, my experience is that better players who don't swing in the 120s like the pros but who still swing near 100, will have problems with this club. I guess you can always change the shaft and put some lead down at the bottom, but why bother? Just go get another metal wood at that point.

My impression of this club (once reshafted with a Rifle - stock shaft is too soft) just keeps getting better and better. Get one second hand if you can!

I bought one of these things when they first hit the scene a couple of years ago. I payed WAY too much for it. I'm sure you can get a better deal now. My average mark for value is based on the $200 price tag I payed for the club. Overall I think it's a decent club, but I have a real problem with modern fairway wood design. Most of the ones I have tried gave me no confidence. I feel like I'm hitting a driver off the fairway. This club was slightly better with it's lower profile, but it too has a rather large clubhead for a three wood. Also the "stiff" shaft was way too whippy. The soft shaft and light weight of the club made it seem like I was swinging nothing. I want a more solid feel from a club. This club was too light and too forgiving for my tastes. The good thing about this club is that it is long. 250 yards from the tee is common, and it's a good substitute for unwieldy titanium drivers on shorter courses. It is possible to shape shots with this club. Nevertheless, I've switched back to my trusty Taylor Made Tour Spoon. I don't think there will ever be a modern fairway wood that will make me stray from the "classic" profile of that wonderful club. Also a note for those considering purchasing a Quadpro: Make sure to keep your head cover on the club when it is not in use. The finish on the clubhead is extremely fragile.

Have used and loved the Quad Pro 3 wood for the last year or so. Longest 3 wood I ever owned. Recently purchased the Driver at Golf Galaxy for $59 ! Very solid and much easier to keep in the fairway than anything I've tried lately. Though an inch shorter than the driver I had been using, have lost no yardage and gained a great deal of accuracy.

Wrote a review on this club last November. I really liked it but as time progressed, I found the regular stock graphite shaft too flexible and the club too light (Swingweight was D 0). Reshafted with a Rifle 5.0 and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Despite a shorther and heavier shaft, my shots with this club are as long or longer and the feel is much better (swingweight is now D2 - D3). Most importantly, I have MUCH better control. This club is so versatile. Get one second hand if you can. Some fairway woods might be longer (but I can't believe by much) however the combination of length, control and feel with the Quadpro is unbeatable in my opinion. Flew a shot 210 yards over water onto a green for a chance at birdy - courtesy of this club. Why spend $200 plus when you can get such good quality clubs second hand?

I have the 5 wood it is the best club I have ever had. When you hit it solid you cant even feel it off of the club face. It launches and goes for miles. It replaced my 4 wood, 3, 4, and 5 iron.

Buy these clubs at $99 dollars while they are around. These clubs simply hit the ball straight with a smooth easy swing. My son who just started playing is hitting them over 200 yards in the fairway or close. Other drivers - who knows. The regular flex really allows you to take a relaxed swing. If you want to get a 2% improvement for 300 dollars more - get the launcher

Simply the best fairway woods I have ever played - by a longshot! I hit the 13 degree strong 3 250-270 off the tee, and the 19 degree is consistently a 230 yard club. The trafectory and accuracy of the 3 makes me feel like I have Tiger''s "stinger 2 iron" in the bag. These clubs are long and forgiving, with trememdous feel. I can''t understand why more pros and ams aren''t hooked. I wish I could find a driver I loved as much! Am going to try the Launcher this weekend.
