  accurate BB 3W

  Hmm..YJ, I'm sure you meant inaccurate, right?

  The BB 3wd is HORRIBLE as far as accuracy goes (good for getting down a fairway, though).

  Especially terrible on tee shots. It's like hitting starter clubs/irons. Hit and hope. 

  LOL. Depends. If you ding it, it has its moments. The problem not dinging it gets you in so much trouble it ain't worth having, IMO. That's why mine sits in the corner.  :-D

  One shot a round, maybe, with that HB? Rock on. 

  1 shot a round is sometimes the difference between winning and losing :-)

  And i agree with Jay. The accuracy on the 3 wood is shocking.

  The BB 3 wood is exactly the club I've been asking WGT to offer us for ages, a real risk/reward club.  However, having been given the horse I have to admit I've looked in it's mouth several times.

  When you get it right it's a wonderful piece of kit.  Miss the ding in high wind, especially if you miss with the wind, and you better get the hiking boots out.  Maybe a machete to.

  I've never tried the Max meter 3 wood, the 4.0 forgiveness sounds nice.  The TM R15 looks pretty nice too but the meter is a tad quicker than the rest of my gear.

  I think the Bertha costs me as many shots as it saves to be honest.  For long holes it is nice though........

  Same for me which is why I thank my lucky stars for never having let the level 95 R11s go. It's not available any more and is basically the BB with 1 more dot of forgiveness and 10 less yards. The lesser distance is nothing compared to that forgiveness. :-)
