I posted recently about changing to a 909 or mizuno titanium fairway wood but am also considering the Nike vr now the price has come down. I haven't seen many posts about this club, anyone using one? How about forgiveness? Also, from what I have read it comes with the 'real' voodoo shaft, is this correct?

from the reviews I've read it's meant to be a great club for high SS players but lacks a lot of forgiveness.

Are you a good ball striker for a 5 handicap?
Not sure how much you'd want to be able to shape the ball with a 3 wood.

My Clubs
Driver - LV4 10* R flex
Wood - sam snead persimmon 2 wood (for windy days)

I am a pretty good ballstriker for my handicap, my main requirement for a 3 wood is to hit it straight off the tee, distance and workability are not so important for me. I swing my 3 wood around 100mph.

what's wrong with the r9? I'm thinking about getting one.

you might want to consider the Taylormade Superfast 3 wood, it's got a deep face and is meant to be great off the tee. I've heard a few people talking about the Cleveland Launcher too. here's a thread I made a week ago if it helps http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...t-fairway-wood

If you don't care about distance or workability then I'd say go for the G15. I haven't even bothered trying to work the ball with it since my main concern with my fairway woods are forgiving and straight.

I've had several Nike fairway woods over the past few years, and none of them have stuck. Maybe my favorite fairway woods out right now are the MP Titaniums (until the 910s come out, though). The MPs have a really great feel off the face.

That one I love (the non square one, Tiger actually still uses it). But the square SUMO and they DYMOs were crap. I had both of them.

yea I agree those are crap. I really like the sq11 fairway woods though as you can see from my sig. I would like to try the 910 in the future though

Before I bought my 906F4 (in my sig) used for $70, if I could have found the Sasquatch 2 that you have I would have bought it. But I have only been able to find women's shafted ones.

Not a fan of VR woods, I love the irons though. I've had the 3 wood with the stiff voodoo shaft and I just couldn't get along with it. Getting rid of the driver too shortly.

Irons - VR split cavity S300 shaft

I demo'ed the VR 3 wood today and was pretty impressed. It went lower than my r9 and seemed to have a much lower spin rate. I'm going back on thursday to hit it side by side with my r9 on the trackman so i can get some definitive figures. Forgiveness was pretty much the same as the r9 despite the face being a little shorter from heel to toe.

I demo'd the 420 cc, 8.5* driver with a PX 6.0 shaft and all I can say is WOW. I really liked that combination. It was long and accurate for me. I've also demo'd the 13* 3 fw with a stiff Voodoo shaft. Not as easy to hit as my MacGregor NVG 12.5* 3 fw, but still pretty damn good; I'd buy one. IMO, its not a club for a high to middle hc player.

ahh cool thank you. I guess I hadnt seen that one. Looks like a good driver. thanks

No adjustable STR8-FIT hosel though. That's the trade-off.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By Ty_Webb ·

      On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!

      It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
