anyone try these fairway woods? I was hitting one at the PGA Superstore a couple weeks ago and ended up buying one on ebay. It is unbelievable!! I'm probably 80% more accurate than with my 904F and at least 20 yards longer and I didn't change anything in my swing.

I did get the Graphite Design Red Ice 70X shaft vs. my V2 Xstiff that was in the Titleist, but it changed my long game dramatically. If I wouldn't have had 35 putts both of my last two rounds, I would have broke 70 both rounds.

If you're a low handicap, I'd give it a try. The dispersion pattern on my shots has tightened dramatically and like I said, I'm pulling it out from 250 and hitting it on the green or back fringe consistently, where I wasn't getting anywhere near greens on par 5's like this before. I've hit 2 par 5's in the past 2 rounds from 253 both times, one was left of the hole by 15 feet and the other rolled past the pin onto the back fringe...both birdies.

I also hit it off the tee up to 275 a couple times and most times, I'm between 250-265 consistently and dead straight.

I've heard the Tour Edge Exotics are even better, but they are $350 in the stores and I don't need to spend that type of cash. I got this, with only a couple hits on it for $137 on ebay.

I've been a big fan of Sonartec's for years now. The GS Tour is a great club and I'm really looking forward to the new HB-001 Hybrid as well!

It really was a remarkable difference for me. Haven't felt this way since I hit the first Great Big Bertha in the mid 90's...with the difference from steel heads to Titanium. I've played for 27 years out of my 33 and was simply amazed. maybe it's a combo with that shaft, but it was a big difference.

are the wedges that good as well? I pretty much like my Clevelands, but saw you have the Sonartec wedges in your bag.

Excellent! I love the low glare finish, the durability is great and adds just enough spin but doesn't chew up balls.

      I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
