Have anyone tried one, or both of these clubs?

I apologize for not sticking to your two possible choices (R7 or 906F) but I have to jump in here and say that I love the

Burner 3 wood. I ordered mine with a DG S300 shaft and I can hit this thing a ton off the tee or the ground and it is "by far" the most forgiving wood I have ever hit. I have to make a pretty terrible swing to not keep this thing in play...and being that I am a 14 handicap that does happen once in a while and no club will help that. I just thought if you were looking for a forgiving 3 wood that goes a long way you might consider the Burner . Now I read many forums prior to buying my Burner and the three main knocks were as follows (with my reply): 1) Shafts not good - I ordered mine with the steel DG S300 shaft so do not have this problem. There are many shafts to pick from in the line and I think you can switch things around to your liking if you can wait and order the club. 2) The look of the head when at address (see my avatar) - I personally love the way the club looks as it sets up well (the Burner 3 wood is square at address) and gives me a good feeling for my backswing path. 3) Hits the ball to high - The height I get is just fine and maybe it is due to the steel shaft. But I ask what is wrong with height anyway as long as the ball is not balloning...height is a good thing Well I hope this helped and did not confuse the issue even further but I thought I would had my 2 cents...

No, I'm pretty sure that its the F2 thats for good players, the F4 is made to suit all handicaps.

Those are very general guidelines only. I've met mid- and high-handicap golfers who are great with their fairway woods (but have trouble with irons). They might prefer the F2. Or if you hit the ball from the tee a lot with your 3W and rarely from the fairway, the F2 may be better for you due to the deeper face. Less popups.
