Just wanted to hear from people who use these in their bags....I picked a 5 wood this week and I am amazed how easy it is to hit these woods....
Debating about dumping my Titleist 904F 15 degree for another one of these....Do the Launcher Composite seem a lot better?? I have previously used Taylormade V steel and Callaway Big Bertha and clearly these are very easy to use.... I feel like I am cheating with these clubs....

I love the Launcher fairway woods. I had an original Launcher steel three wood that I just upgraded to the 2006 Launcher Steel version. Not a ton of difference, lower profile and a little more "springy" at impact with the newer one. I have a Comp 13 degree and it doesn't get the start over my 15 degree steel version. I like the Composite head in my driver but I prefer a steel head for a fairway wood. A little easier to get it up in the air and hit off the ground. Off the tee the Comp is probably better. I think the Comp head is slightly larger than the steel head and I prefer a smaller clubhead in my fairway woods (easier to hit off the ground for me). Really though I don't think you can go wrong. I think they are very underrated fairway woods (much like Cleveland is underrated IMO with their drivers).

I did demo the HiBore 3 wood and was close to putting it in my bag. I hit it well and it seemed to fly pretty long. Also the inverted crown helped get the ball up, even from the rough. To be honest, I flat out couldn't take the look so I opted for the 2006 Launcher Steel 3 Wood, which happened to be a better deal too.

The Comp is a good fairway wood too, make no mistake about it. For me, the steel just seems to be a better fit but some may prefer the comp.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
