Fourteen Driver, 3 Wood-first impression


Duffer19

Recommended Posts

Had a chance to take my new Fourteen JC606 and the SF206 FW (3w) for the first time a few days ago. The driver sets up nicely and actually quite easy to hit but I would not classify it as a 'long' driver. Since I did not play in my home courses in Canada or Hong Kong, it is difficult to judge distance of this driver. I was consistently outdrove that day but then my playing partners are high singles vs. me at 16. The feel of the driver is good in term of impact but the jury on the stock shaft is still out. While I don't know the make of the stock shaft but suspect it could be a oem from SYB. I have a Mach Line Proto waiting in the wing for this.

Their new FW (SF206) is something else. It gives out a nice sound when struck and it is easy and long both off tee and off the deck. There is simply nothing I would change with this 3 wood. The design is classic and clean and just perfect for a mid handicapper like me-no gimmick whatsoever. It is even better than the Japanese version of V-Steel. I would highly recommend the SF206.

Besides the new Fourteens, my 2 new Yoshimura Tour Project utilities (19 and 22) continue to fly straight and true which is rare for me.

Agree! Great review on stuff that's hard to find reviews for.

Maybe an Axiv for that 606 :tsg_smiley_old:
