Moved from the LS 3 wood, to the LS 3HL, and that additional loft/launch is really something special.

My driver came with the stock Tensei and early in the year in the colder weather and when I didn't have a good driver swing going it performed well. Recently I put my Ventus Blue 5S VeloCore shaft in the driver and it for me it is better in every way by a lot. I have the stock Tensei 65S in the three wood and I really like it. Super smooth, excellent dispersion and very good distance , everything I was hoping I would get with it. I will leave that shaft in. I use this 3 wood exclusively off the turf because I like the driver so much I use it every chance I get.Did you go with the same shaft in your driver? I'm one tinker away from pulling the trigger on this one.

I think you do now. Look forward to hearing how it goes.I'd love to have an off the deck option that I can stretch out a bit for longer par 5s.
Recently benched my 3w in favor of ONLY my 5w. So regularly, there are only three shots a round that I would NORMALLY (I've used it when I mishit off the tee before on occasion) take with my 3w and two out of three of those would be tops, chunks or thins and I've put myself in bad spots. Those shots rarely happen with my 5w so I thought I'd try and use only my 5 and see how I do. I haven't bogeyed a hole that I would normally use my 3w in four rounds.
Crazy thing is, and I mentioned it before, I'm hitting my 5w just as far as I would need my 3w to go. I haven't seemed to be able to unlock the 3 but my goodness the 5w is two clubs in one for me currently with the distance and consistency I'm getting with it.
I've had success with woods before and was even willing to die on a hill that my Nike Vapor Flex 5w was the best fairway I've ever hit. Not anymore, that title is easily given to the Rogue ST Max 5w. I even put my driver away and hit purely the 5w on five holes before I left the course last weekend. 5/5 fairways. It's great to have a club in the bag that I trust completely to fall back on when I need it.
Distance of a 3w with accuracy of a 5w. I'm loving what I'm seeing so far
I'm still going to work on my 3w but for now I'm all aboard the one fw train. And that's huge for me since I've had two fairways since I started playing.
When I am not an idiot and forget how to swing, I love hitting the MaxD! I have it 3-4 times a round off the tee.When I am on with my swing these are just incredible. They are absolute bombers. I have had more sucess off the deck than the tee lately though Lol.
I didn’t play over the weekend so I’m looking back at my last few rounds and the Rogue ST LS 3 wood definitely stands out. This club is so easy to hit I’m comfortable using it from just about all but the thickest rough. My ability to be confident that I’m not going to turn the ball over to the left is becoming more and more of an asset as the season goes on, allowing me to be more aggressive with the 3 wood (which is insane!!).
So you’ve tried the 3+, the 3, and the 5… Why no love for the 3HL?!Time for a quick update. I was fit into a Rogue LS 3+ wood and LS 5 wood. The idea behind the 3+ wood was to be a second option off the tee as I don't typically hit a 3 wood off the deck. What I found was that it would benefit someone with a better swing than me (and likely more swing speed). I wasn't more accurate off the tee with this than my driver so it is now with a teammate who it fits better. (I have his LS 3 wood in trade which I'm experimenting with but so far has not made its way into my bag since the second driver is so solid).
The 5 wood is a whole other story. It is so easy to hit off of a small tee or the fairway. When I need to get max distance off the fairway or light rough this is what I grab. It launches high and straight for me but I can move it either direction when needed.
I somewhat want to try a 5+ to push a little more distance but that's the #LunaticFringe talking..lolSo you’ve tried the 3+, the 3, and the 5… Why no love for the 3HL?!
Your description of the 5 wood is how I feel about the 3 wood. So easy to hit! Except I’m not trying to move it both directions (yet ).
