Alcap26 Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have to second that motion again on the 200 steel. I also was playing a Adams tour 3 wood b/4 trying a vsteel, 14° rescue, and this 200. The 200 by far is the best of the bunch I have owned and tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsaw Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 The CB's for sure. I love the blades but I have an aversion to practice sometimes and the added forgiveness is a must. The 23's are like a dream club for me. I like the 300's but I have a feeling I'd love the MR23 CB's. It's just gonna be tough to pull the trigger. (Mike, sudden smiley inspiration- something with money flying away and crying :lol: ) O.k., so there's the smoothie, ridgie, and duffy right? What're the diff's?

AKFLY Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Smoothie = $$$$$ Ridgie = veritile off the deck and tee - pretty straight Duffy = fade bias The price of a Ridgie is pretty much in line with a retail fairway wood with a graphite shaft.

I'd like the fade bias. I'm also kicking around getting a PT 15. I loved the 13 off the tee but it was a bit much off the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yes the smoothy is $$$$$ , but after having mine with the shafts Joe put in and AK hates :lol: I love them both . 13* hits bombs for me and I am able to hit it both ways and high or low . 17* am just getting use to it as it is the first 4/5 FW I have ever owned. :) I have had in my bag the last 5 years and counting a TM spoon , Lynx Boom Boom 13* , Cally Warbird 3+ . Titleist 975F 13.5 , 14.5 , Cleveland Launcher 15* and a KZG Cobalt 15* . Now the smoothies and let me tell you they will have to pry them from my cold dead fingers when the time comes to put me in the furnace :lol: They are that good and I don't think you could go wrong with one if you don't mind spending a little extra $$$ . Providing you get the right shaft . I got both of mine off eBay for $450 not each but for both . Had the crappy Blue shaft in them but now the Fuji's and every one wants to try them . No way Jose , if you sky it , it yours and then I tell them how much they always give it right back :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKFLY Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yes the smoothy is $$$$$ , but after having mine with the shafts Joe put in and AK hates :lol: : Still have the shaft - and have been toying with the idea of gettinga 13° ridgie or retail V stell to mess with and using that shaft as a starting point. Mike - don't get mad that a $36 shaft outperforms the $100 one :lol: :lol: Uninstalled :D :D :D U.S Dollars :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would work and then again maybe it wouldn't . Don't know and as of this time am not about to find out as I do have the best make of shaft in my FW . Ask anybody I'm sure they will tell you that . :) If not on this site then on another site where Fuji is King :lol: :lol: So I can't really say . But I can say the proper shaft in the right club , in the right hands works fantastic . Now that being said my local repair guy does now have one and I might have him put it in my cobalt for the winter , if I do that will let you know how it works for me . If it don't want to buy it ?? :wink: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's b/c of the Fuji that's in it, but no I'd have a really hard time pulling the trigger on that one. Mike, Is the 21* smoothie you're looking for the famed eagle? I saw one for sale on another site a few days ago but I don't know if it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one for sale on another site a few days ago but I don't know if it's still there. No they are one in the same . Some call them eagles , other just smoothies . And I always thought they were 20* and not 21* thats why I asked Chris that question . To see what he has to say . If I ever do go that route and get rid of my 3 iron I might try a Hogan rescue as they are pretty inexpensive. And yes it is because of the Fuji in it , but I am sure if you look on eBay at the golfhabit a store in California you would find one a lot cheaper. Have seen them go for a little as $175 with a S-300 in one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
