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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
