I have a chance to buy one of these for a very good price from a co-worker who's down on his luck right now. I'm currently gaming a Callaway FT-i, but I'm very inconsistant with it compared to other 3 woods I've had in the past. I've read the reviews, but want to know what the average golfer thinks about this 3 wood and the FCT technology, since I haven't had a chance to try this thing out yet.

Some reviews say they noticed very little change when they made adjustments on the hosel, where others noticed a huge change. Is it mental? Or does it work?

It does make a difference. The people that do not see a difference are changing their swing and negating the difference. If the swing stays the same and your change the clubface the ball almost always will differ in path.

I bought both the R9 460 and 3 wood and I would give the 460 away for free before having to give away the 3 wood. LOVE IT. VERY, VERY, VERY, consistent when you find the position for you.

I told the guy I would buy the R9, but I'm afraid with a teenager in the house that's using my 15 year old hand-me-downs from when I learned to play, that the FT-i will more than likely end up in his bag to replace his Knight 3 Wood.

I bought an R9 3 wood a couple of months ago, mainly for how it looked and sat behind the ball at address. It is very consistent and I hit it very straight. I didn't buy it for the adjustable shaft but thats a cool feature to play around with on the range, it doesn't make a huge difference to your shot shape. I have it set to neutral and find it easier than my previous nike sq 3 wood to hit off the deck. I'd say go for it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
