Battle of the 3 Woods is OOOOOVER

[Spoon]

Just as a quick update...

Anyone who wants my 15* Egg Spoon w/Crazy FW80 can have it for FREE!!!!

All you have to do is shoot me and pry it out of my cold dead fingers.....

I am killing this combo.

dude i really want to try that combo! had no luck with the 13*. does the 15* sound like the 13?

They all of course sound exactly the same... the only difference is the loft. Even the head size is the same.

I have a Tour Bassara F53 in my 17* now...but i think an FW80 has to go in.... the FW80 in my PRGR 7 Wood is absolutely deadly to 200y... awesome trajectory and dead straight.

awesome trajectory and dead straight.

This is what I'm getting as well. Obviously a bad swing will produce a bad shot but mis hits are still better and good swings are rewarded with excellent results and consistancy.

So many good comments, must resist!

Here's a little update after a few more rounds. The EGG makes me cocky on the course! I feel so confident yes even so with the stock shaft that i begin over swinging trying muscle everything because its so forgiving. Well last weekend I hit a point where I was swinging so hard my contact was poop. Im going to need to back off now until i get my Crazy FW80 installed.

The 13* Egg Spoon is longer than my driver by 10 yds. It's also easier to hit!

right im lifting one tonight.

you are so right..,

i bought the 18* 5 wood to test, i cant find this used in a 3w for under $400 !! . i changed the shaft to the graphite design md 7x.. . ive used this shaft in a varierty of fairway wood heads ,and its sensational for this. , very tingy, mid-high launching, u can move it around nicely and u get run, (well not in the 5 w) like the diamana blue ,but with more feel.

this club is huge i was gobsmacked , id guess its like 15-20 yards over my trusty big bertha /ozic 5 wood.

and its easier to hit whcih i dint think was possible. !

i cant wait to find a 3w and put my quadra fire 65 s in it. i dont know what im going to do with all my others if the 3w plays anything like this .

im so impressed by this 5w its the best/easiest club ive hit this yr. the only draw back , but its not really ,is that horrid sound. after i see where the ball lands , botheredsville what it sounds like!

its almost like a normal 3w, just a lot higher flight.

why i didnt listen to this forum months ago ill never know!

I've been telling everyone to get a spoon for years!

I generally play a stiff shaft. My FW80 is an SR flex and is as stout as I can handle. IMO even the SR flex requires a SS in the neighborhood of 100 mph. (driver)

I have found the Crazy shafts do not like to be babied. Go after it!!!

I agree 100% and this has caused me some difficulty with Crazy Shafts. I now know to go one flex down un tipped. In some cases I go 2 flexes down.

ok, i found a 3w 15* with a stock m-43 shaft and its darn good. i was smoking some monsters yesterday, my thoughts are i really dont need to change it, but after reading this thread most of u guys def recomend changing it, i ddint find it to be sloppy really, i cud hit some little draws but mostly i was hitting straight and it didnt really baloon.and was going a mile it amkes u laugh its just not right.

anyway i bought a quadra fire 75s FW which id earmarked for the royal collection .

there is defianatl y a huge difference in feel between these two clubs. and i prefer the RC s feel by mile,

BUT

how can u possible ignore the length u can get with the egg? and the straightness ? ,

ALL par 5s are now in pretty much in play with a good drive.

question.........., Do i put this shaft in the prgr ?

gocchin i know uve hit this. what do u think???

go for it, your headed in that direction anyway. you wont be able to have peace of mind if you dont:)

btw thought you were done buying clubs?

[Mjr. D]

How does the Egg Spoon compare the the R9 Fairway...... which is EXCELLENT and long by the way. And if you had to guess..... the upcoming TM R9 SuperTri Titanium fairway????

S you pretty much said it exactly... even if it does not have the best feel or sound the Spoon has the best length and are dead straight.

The Fire Express will be an interesting combo as it will help the spoon launch lower and spin lower you'd probably get even more run and control out of it.

[shacco]

It really takes some time to get used to the feeling and specially the sound. Didn't like it at all in the beginning. But once you adjust to it and start seeing the results it starts feeling better and better. Like Tario said, you even start liking it. When you crush it people at the range or at the course just know you have something special in your hands ;)

well i did the double, put a tipped quadra fire express 65 in the 15* and the 75XS fw in the 18*.

had a big range session and a game today, played both clubs.

the qaudra brought the flight down by a way in both and the weight of the 5w is now quite heavy.

the dispersion is now really tight!

the spoon is long , cant say it was noticeably longer than b4.but it doesnt need to be , prob bec, my swing speed isnt fast enough to adequately take advantage of this club to its maximum degree. but i can def say its stiffer tighter and lower.

the 18* is longer for sure and noticeably lower. the added weight made me choke down on the shaft a bit and that added to the swing speed i needed to laungh this baby. id say its now longer by 15 yards than i was hitting previously. its taken the use of this out of 5 wood distance shots and it now sits somewhere like a 16* club. with a higher launch, perfect for meduim length par 5s. problem is, i now have to go full bore at the shot every time i cant just smooth it out here or it goes nowhere.

left me in a quandry as its not an every day club now, the big bertha is def that club. this is for long courses or windy days. the feel still isnt much chop.its pretty bad but agn its where it ends up thats important. "specific" days this set up. itll be bagged every time , but alongside my other 3w and 5w, depending on the conditions.

ill say its totally point and shoot for both clubs. and the 5w is def the easier of the 2 to hit. the spoon took the driver out of play on a few holes today with great effect. need to hit it a few more times. ithink i now have the ferrari of fws. pretty sure they need to be learned how to be driven properly b4 they perform at thier best. likewise these fws. ................,itll take some time to get properly acquainted unless i pick up another 10m/s really quickly.
