Does anyone have any feedback about the Player Series drivers and fairway woods?

I'm considering buying these.

Afraid I can't speak to the driver, but I got a Bobby Jones 3 wood (15 deg) and hybrid (H3) at the end of the season and I like them quite a bit. Both have a great, traditional look at address and have a pleasant weight. At this point, I've hit them more at the range than on the course, but results have been encouraging, They can be worked both ways, but mis-hits are highly playable. I can have a tendency to hook the ball and that particular miss hasn't been a problem (yet). Distance seems to be only average -- I may swap out for an H2 -- but that's not my biggest concern if I can continue to hit them consistently. I have to say, I really love the hybrid... the "keel-like" sole gives me a ton of confidence from the rough. Preferences vary, of course, but I'd definitely recommend them for consideration & trial if you're in the market.

    • Day 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe.
