Agreed - the 3HL more so than any other 3W I've ever played, and the 7W is just silly easy. Glad they're working out for you!I’m starting to get used to the Max D 3HL and 7W. They are so easy to hit.
I’m getting max distance for me from the 3HL. That’s remarkable because it’s so early in the season for me.Agreed - the 3HL more so than any other 3W I've ever played, and the 7W is just silly easy. Glad they're working out for you!
ooohhh, tell me more about that Heavenwood. Have you played an HW in the past? Did it replace something other than a fairway wood in that spot? What distance do you use it for?i use a max d 3hl and a max heavenwood ... slight and i mean slight draw with the 3hl and the max heavenwood is fairly straight ... with my swing not too much of difference , im just thrilled that they both are long and consistently in the fairway ...
I am the opposite. I have been hitting the 5W so well that I have been contemplating adding a 3W and take out a wedge. The ai smoke fairways are so darn goodRange session today in preparation for a planned round soon, haven’t been able to go recently due to a change in work/sleep schedule so swing was not good today.
TD 3W still working great on good swings, but can get pretty fadey for me if I’m out in the toe. Got back to where I was expecting to be with it by the end of the session after fatigue was setting in, so definitely excited to take this onto the course and see what kind of fun I can have with it.
One thing that really strikes me with the club is ball flight. Even though it’s easier to hit lower flighted shots, can still hit some long bombs with it with a penetrating flight. I’ll probably be waiting a few months to upgrade my 5W slot to AI Smoke TD, but the temptation to buy one now is very much present. Lot of confidence to do some damage with the top of the bag.
I have a utility 3i that I’d be replacing with 5w for ease of use. AI Smoke really just are some fun clubs, especially the fairways. Love how they look at address and sound on pure contact. Can tell when I have just mashed it versus something a little thin/heavy.I am the opposite. I have been hitting the 5W so well that I have been contemplating adding a 3W and take out a wedge.

I agree. The 5W has been a stone cold killer off the tee when I need less than driver. I hit a bomb off bare dirt today after a poor drive; I would have not even tried that shot in the past without the confidence I have in this club.I have a utility 3i that I’d be replacing with 5w for ease of use.

The ball flight stands out to me as well. My favorite ball flight I’ve had with a 3w. If I didn’t love my UW, I would have the 5w in the bag.Range session today in preparation for a planned round soon, haven’t been able to go recently due to a change in work/sleep schedule so swing was not good today.

I’m also kinda waiting for the new ventus black to hit shelves too, figure it won’t be too much longer, I heard around US Open.The ball flight stands out to me as well. My favorite ball flight I’ve had with a 3w. If I didn’t love my UW, I would have the 5w in the bag.
Didn’t realize there was a new one coming out. I’m quite happy with the TR Black.I’m also kinda waiting for the new ventus black to hit shelves too, figure it won’t be too much longer, I heard around US Open.
Also just not in the cards at this moment for a new 5W
It’s supposed to be like the new Ventus Blue release, same Ventus just Velocore+. Red is due later this year, The Open IIRC.Didn’t realize there was a new one coming out. I’m quite happy with the TR Black.
A killer combo right there.I’m starting to get used to the Max D 3HL and 7W. They are so easy to hit.
Yes. They absolutely nailed it in tne “address” department imo.I have a utility 3i that I’d be replacing with 5w for ease of use. AI Smoke really just are some fun clubs, especially the fairways.

A shame I’d probably do myself a disservice by getting a TD 5w and 7w and my longest iron being a 5i. So fun to hit the woods but I enjoy my wedge setup for different types of shots at the bottom of the bag. Still pondering a 7W but feel like 5W is the sweet spot for the top if I can make it a 250-260 club when swing is working.“

They are so fun (I have the 3HL and 7W) that I am actually pondering the 9W…
3HL works great out of light rough for me, I don't hesitate for even a second to use it when it's called for.A killer combo right there.
Have you given the 3HL much work from the light rough yet?
It is amazing how well it performs.
First 3 wood I’ve ever felt comfortable with using it like this on the regular.3HL works great out of light rough for me, I don't hesitate for even a second to use it when it's called for.

Going 3HL - 7W has worked out well for me, since the 3HL gaps like a 4W.That’s my dilemma as well.
I went with the 5 wedge setup. As a result I left out a 5 wood. So far it’s been working out brilliant.
The 9W would take the place of the 5H in the long gap to the top.
I woke up thinking about this shot. Confidence is so huge in golf. As I said, in years past, I wouldn’t have trusted a 215 yard carry over the junk and would have laid up and tried to get up and down. A hole or two before this, I pulled a 6i instead of 5W to try and hit a safe shot but wasn’t committed because I wanted to hit 5W. So on this hole, I went with my gut.I agree. The 5W has been a stone cold killer off the tee when I need less than driver. I hit a bomb off bare dirt today after a poor drive; I would have not even tried that shot in the past without the confidence I have in this club.
Going 3HL - 7W has worked out well for me, since the 3HL gaps like a 4W.
At those distances I'm mostly just eating up yardage, my GIR% from 200+ is going to be very low no matter which club I'm using, so the gap between 3HL and 7W doesn't make me feel like I'm leaving a hole. A 3HL - 5W setup would be pretty narrow gapping for the top of the bag for me, in a spot where I don't need that kind of precision.
I have hit some from just off the fairway. It has worked well.A killer combo right there.
