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.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
