Question:
I have the Steelhead III driver and 3W… they are pretty good for forgivness. The fairway wood is excellent and has become a club I now can’t live without. Just my 2 cents Darrin

Do you use it off the deck or from a tee or both
Response:
I had played with a Steelhead Plus driver for a year or so before also purchasing a Steelhead III 3 wood in May 2002. I’m not comparing the exact club, but I would say the Steelhead III does what the marketing/advertisements say – a larger sweetspot, better distance (I think there is some VFT effect) than the SH Plus. I hit the SH III 3 wood nearly as far as the Steelhead plus driver. (I have the uniflex steel shaft in both). In short, both are good clubs but I think you would be happier going ahead and paying for the SH III

Both… I’ve never had a problem hitting it from the fairway

Response:
Callaway does make the best fairway woods. re: the Steelhead Plus vs, the SH III. I’ve have heard that the SH III has a significant draw bias compared to the SH Plus, SH, and the BB Warbird. This is probably why it has not gained the acceptance of pro golfers as evidenced by the absence of SH III woods in pro bags in favor of the more neutral SH Plus, SH, and BB Warbird. Additionally, my own experience tells me what makes the SH fairway woods so good does not translate into the SH driver being a club worthy of ownership. The SH driver sucks compared to the Ti alternatives in the driver category.

I play Steelhead Plus 5, 7, 9. I had a GBB Hawkeye 3-wood but wanted something closer to my Pluses. Thought I would upgrade. I bought a Steelhead III, played it a few times, always off the fairway, did not care for the feel, sound, or performance of it. Traded it to Callaway Pre-Owned for a Steelhead Plus 3 and am glad I did. Maybe the III was just too different from my Pluses.

Isn’t "playability" more or less the opposite of "reducing slice"?
Response:
I’ve heard that the Steelhead Plus is a very good fairway wood. I’ve played the Steelhead III and can tell you that it’s a very good club. Distance and forgiveness were very good. Size was pleasing, not too big, not to small. Good luck with your decision. Chris S.
