The V2 Shaft is a better, lower ball flight due to the stiff tip. But make sure you get the heavy FW shaft, like 90 grams or something...the NV is great too, but the launch is just a little high for me.

BACK TO FW Woods, I have an old Callaway Steelhead Plus w/a Grafalloy ProLite FW shaft in it, but I just changed to Titleist 906f2 w/stiff V2 shaft...dead straight off the tee every time...no matter how hard I swing, love this CLUB!!!

I have a launcher 13 and a 906f2 18 as per signature. I generally use the launcher off the tee when a need a more accurate drive on shorter holes. They are both great clubs and I would recommend them to anyone. I was actually trying to get a launcher 17 but found the 906f2 for a great price on eBay recently.

tmoult, if you were going for any par 5's in 2 you would start to like them. Three metal off the deck is a tough shot but when pulled off there isn't too much sweeter. My Nike SQ 15 degree is the nicest 3 metal I've ever owned. It's great off the tee and from the fairway. Rough, not so much for me unless it's teed up.

Can't the TV guys come up with a better name than "3 Metal"? It always bugs me, it was 3 wood for me. What are some alternatives?

I just switched from a Taylor Burner Tourspoon 14* to a new Callaway X Tour 15*. I really hit the X great off the deck, but I am having a small issue off the tee. I am sure the issue is mainly between my ears. I am going to tee it like an iron shot and see if that helps.

I am about to replace my 16 degree hybrid with a Titleist 906F4 15.5 degree fairway metal, with a Graphite Design Y-6 shaft, regular flex. I want a little more distance off the fairway than the hybrid is providing, and the low profile of the 906F4 inspires the confidence to hit it as well as I hit the hybrid. I may end up rotating the two clubs, however, depending on the type of course I'm playing. I played a round using a demo last week and liked it so much, I ordered one from my pro. I'll get it this weekend and we'll see if the second bite of strawberry shortcake is as good as the first bite.

I also like the Titleist 904f's. I purchased the 906f2 with a 13 deg. UST V2 while keeping my 17 904f. I love the 904f. Didn't like the 906f2, sold it and purchased a new 904f 13 deg. last week of ebay. I love the flight, distance and sound of the 904f. I have Graphite Design YS6+ in both 904f's. I also have the 585 21 which I like well enough too.

    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date. 
    • Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.
