Mickelson with RocketBallz 3 wood?

[jamo]

Or why not a less lofted, "strong", 3 wood, like 11 or 12 degrees?

This, along with Clambake's post, was my first though. Callaway couldn't shorten the shaft, or add loft to a driver? They couldn't take some loft off a 3-wood or make him a 3+-wood? Seems strange.

The message I get from this is, RBZ is the longest (maybe best) 3W out there.  This is a dream come true for TM's marketing department.

There is a guy at our club who has a son who is a caddie on the tour. He was saying the tour players are all into the RocketBallz fairway woods (the driver is no big deal). They love the added distance while maintaining the control. It must have something to do with the slot and their swing speed.

Good point, he should join the site Yeah Abbott was either playing Switzerland or was told by someone else that it was a prototype 3 wood and just went with it.

Haha ... I like the way you say that.
