Posted May 23, 200816 yr comment_149886 I am an 7.8 index. Looking to upgrade my 3 wood. This Royal Collection cvXer fairway looks interesing. Says forgiving with good flight and square face also comes with a good shaft. Played RC/Sonartec in the past loooong clubs some of the offerings are tough to hit. Anyone playing it? Any other recommendations? thanks...
May 23, 200816 yr comment_149887 It's a very nice FW indeed. Compact size like the CV Pro of the past. Still a players club but boasting more forgiveness due to some design changes. A touch larger (152cc) than their professional model Pro TP (145cc) but probably just as good for playability and feel. If you like compact and have no issues hitting small FW's off the deck then it's definitely a good one. Other options albeit bigger are the popular M3 Hit TOUR (165cc) which is more shallow but easy to hit. The Yamaha iFF Tour is also very very solid and confidence inspiring at 186cc.

The M3 always seems too light when I try it. I really was going between the IFF tour and the Sonartec. Which do you think is more forgiving?

Steve, the M3 Tour is heavier than the standard M3 and has a swing weight of D2.5. As for the Yamaha and RC... I'd say the Yamaha may be more forgiving just because it's bigger... Are you carrying a 5 wood too?
May 31, 200816 yr comment_150017 Anyone else play Royal Collection Pro TP's? I have a 15* in my bag with GD M-65 X and am still testing it. Haven't played much this season at all. Anyone else have one?
May 31, 200816 yr comment_150025 I was told that Royal Collection is mostly made in China and not Japan, any truth to this?
May 31, 200816 yr comment_150028 I was told that Royal Collection is mostly made in China and not Japan, any truth to this? Yes China or Taiwan sir. There are many Japanese brands that don't produce much their product IN Japan like RC, Crews Golf, and unfortunately even Yururi has outsourced many of its products to those countries as well. We encourage these types of questions because for the average consumer its very hard to tell where certain clubs are made. You may think your getting a Japanese made club in reality your buying a chinese made club from a Japanese brand.
