I am going to Myrtle next weekend, and was thinking of buying a five wood. I will get fitted (never had this done before) for the club, but was wondering if anyone could explain the size differences in 3/5/7 woods across different manufacturers. For example, my current 3 wood has a 155cc head volume. A similar 3-wood by TM (r7 ti) is 186cc. Another club I want to try is the Rapture 5-wood, which is 192cc (according to their website).

So in essence, the Rapture 5-wood is larger than the Taylor Made r7 ti 3-wood?! Seems a little odd. I know there is a limit on drivers to be no more than 460cc, but is there a limit on 3/5/7 woods? An explanation will be helpful. Thanks.

The rapture fairway woods are manufactured out of titanium instead of steel. Because of this they can make the head bigger than traditional steel 3 woods. The same goes for the taylor made Ti. The reason for the difference between the Taylor made and the Ping, well you would have to ask the manufacturers that question. I have hit both and I prefered the rapture. I really like the rapture line and I am getting the driver, 3 wood, and 18* hybrid before next spring.

Thanks NM; I'll be sure to post back if I get the club...

Got semi-fitted for a five wood at Martin's. They gave me two clubs to hit (titanium) - TM and Rapture (stock shaft - Regular). Did not hit the Rapture well at all. The TM I was smoking down the fairway, mostly straight. Ended up getting the TM 5 wood ti - this club is L O N G -- I ended up getting rid of my TM 3-wood steel, as this new club is longer....Tried the Rapture - I guess it's just not for me.

yea i have always found that TM metalwoods (v-steel, r7 etc.) tend to have shallow faces. I've hit the rapture 3-wood off a mat and found the face to be taller than id like. I think the reason behind this is that PING wanted a wood that would be more easy to hit off the tee, while Taylormade preffered fairway playablility. I think in general clubs that are more game-improvement (rapture, speed series, g5) tend to have larger clubheads for less pop-ups off the tee, where as a titleist and Tm club is marketed towards a better ball striker.

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
