cobra fspeed ld. 3 wood 15.5
stiff nv 55grams

it's alright. I liked it better than some of the other ones i tested but i'm sure there is better.
the shaft definitely feels too light. especially since i get a little crazy with the hands/arms rushing sometimes

Tayormade R7 Ti 3 wood - Tried the TP and Steel models but had a "failure to launch" - the Ti model is more forgiving, bigger face and CC - Titanium being a lighter material than Steel.

Hit's it high which is great for control off the tee and placing the ball near (or onto greens) on par 5's. Not a club for everyone because it goes high - can be tough in the wind. But i prefer it. For now at least :)

I recently purchased the newly released Titleist 906F4 15.5 degree fairway wood. It came with the Graphite Design YS-6 shaft, but I replaced it with an Aldila NV-65 shaft, similar to the one I enjoy in my hybrid clubs. My affair with this 3 wood remains torrid. We shall see if it lasts.

    • Day 170: 6/10/24 Indoor chipping. Taking it easy on my right elbow.
    • Day 88. Two 10 minute sessions working on full swing technique into the net. Didn’t feel great. Not sure if I’m just off today or if it was because I’m learning to move slightly differently, which would be a good thing. 
    • Did chest and shoulders today. I'm really enjoying how this mass building workout is getting me to feel so much stronger. I've gone up in weights on most lifts quicker than I have in previous workouts. While my goal is really to get more fit overall, lean muscle mass will go a long way towards reaching that. I really want to start the couch to 5k running program as well.  I had done that once many years ago and it just stripped fat off of me. Even losing close to 100 pounds the last couple of years, my belly is still soft and protruding a bit.  Going to try and play 9 on Wednesday but a few things need to fall into place for that to happen. Hope I can continue the better ball striking I experienced my last time out. Details to come lol. 
    • I am a little late on the posting of this topic, but with the big event almost here I thought it would be interesting to explore. In late April, we hosted a local qualifier and the FSGA came out on behalf of the USGA on 2 occasions to scout tees and pin positions (they had notes from the last one 6 years ago). The course ended up playing just under 7000 and they did bump down some of the par 3s to play at 210, 205, 185, and 170 (they can all be from 195-230). They wanted the greens fast, but not US Open fast (I think they wanted 10.8 to low 11s). The FSGA guys picked the pin placements and made sure it was a good balance for a very great test of golf. The medalist was -3, three were -1 and even par got you into a playoff.  How do you think your course would hold up to pros showing up to show off their skills to go to the next stage?  Here is a video highlighting one person's experience followed by a few photos of Tiger scoping out the course with Charlie during his practice round. All in all, it was a great day and I felt that the course held its own as only 4 golfers (out of 80) broke par.  
    • This is critically important! It's easy to get lazy and start guessing. Just start over and get it right.
