supo Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) after getting my kasco Driving fairway up nad runningwith great results. the temptation to try the best fairway woods was just too much. read a bit about the RC d/S and bec ive got a heap of their 3,4,5 woods it really wasnt hard decision. got a cpl of heads so ive been considering shafting them up with ive got a heap of crazy 80fws already. and well its pretty hard not to put those in them i can assure you. the differnce in the heads form the kasco to the RC is huge, the RCS are like big 3 woods. nothing like a driver what so ever. they are a very big deep 3 wood. but much smaller than the kasco. and FYG, that kasco is playing really really well, i was out driving my mate with it on sunday just a bit tingy for my taste, but hte quadra fex in it is 100% prefect! with the RCS its just the shaft selection is making me ponder. my thoughts are put the kahoona quadra in the 13 and meld the high head with low launch nad in the 11* put a graphire drgign p9003x uber tight but a littel higher launching ,agn balance out the 2 sticks. the 11 is for australia in the wind in palce of a driver at longy bec i dont ned length there at all its only 6300 yards. i need to split the fairways every shot. the kasco i though had this possy , but its al ittle high for wht im thinking even with the quadra, this is going superbly here in japan. so its down to the quadra in the 1 and the p9003x in the 13 or somehting similar to those. matrix 8m2 is one im loking at, and naturally the crazy 80fws whay say u all??

supo Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 hmmmmm well. the 3wood shaft didnt go in it at all, came in at c9 SW with a counter weight. thats no damn good. had the driver stinger 70x aswell, but that came in at d6. he asked me what length i wanted these at. i said prob 3 wood lenth 43 inch would be ideal id think. butcouldnt get there with the shafts that id had back to the drawng board.

supo Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 the quadra is a 3 wood shaft and the SW on it was too light the head must be heavy. came in under c8 (no fears i got antoher beauty for that puppy!) the f7 will be the same. its def a job for the p9003x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blader-X Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thinking the P9003x. Have that shafted up in the RC TourVS 3 wood and its damn straight and long off the tee. Performs better in a 3 wood than a driver at times. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh im glad u said that that ones going it the11.5 and rhe ozic matix8m2 is going in the 13 might play borh rhis weekend without a driver dont need one on my course hit some damn fairways!

gocchin Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 The stock length on the 11.5 and 13 are 43.75" so the heads are weighted for a longer length than a typical 3 wood at 43" or shorter. Glad you got them, I loved the way the feel and play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supo Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh utes. the bain of my golfing power game. just cant get one to perform for what i want. everything is too long. i dont got a 200 yard club , just dooooooooooooooont got it. i cant go to the rc ute bec. its too long. i have 8 differnt utes at home in all varying styles ,and none do what i want.(read, i cant hit them to what i want) the best ive made is the prgr egg 22* 5 iron, but even thats too long, i think i need a 6! got a 3-4-5 i n these, nothing feels ANYYTHING like the eggs. nothing close.distance is rediculously long, seiusoly stupid long. i hit the egg 5 iron easily 15 + yards further than my other utes. and its an iron! i absolutley love the egg irons. they are the simplest club to hit by a buzzilion miles. perfect shape for ute bec its an iron with a huge sole so out of the rough is simplicity. and its light. can draw it , cut it, goes high lands soft, of ir u smoke it turn it over it rolls as well. this is my pet project. got the 3 with a NS 950 gh s that i use back in oz afair bit. 4 with the modus 3 s again in oz mostly and the 5s with an ns 950 s and the roddio w8wa. that roddio is superb in this club, i love it. prob. a bit longer than the ns950 bit more piercing. if i can find a 6 iron then i think im set.

frogeye Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Stew, This driving spoon/Strong 3wood replacement concept is really growing on me. What are your initial thought as to the better option 11* or 13*? Thanks F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 gawwwwwwwwwwd! the bloody shafts arnt here! im gonna struggle to get these done by tom or sunday. gonna have to take my quadra FEX shaft out of the kasco nad put that in the 11.5 * if i cant get it done by tonight. was checking the size differnce out compared to a cpl of othe 3 woods, a driver and my kasco. the kasco is much bigger and much more a driving fairway style. super sleek back like the TM burnr tp style. the yamaha v 14 isnt at first glance that much smaller. head size and shape arnt that dissimilar. until u put them on top of one another and see the increase in face volume. the yamaha v 14 is a pretty large 3 wood, packs a super punch. for a distance 3 wood this thing is right up there. the RC D/S has more over all depth and a fuller face. for hitting off the deck, ithink this might be a big ask to hit well consistantly.its not thtat heavy either the 11.5* is 203. gram and the 13.5 is 206 ( ithink its that way around) i just built a crazy f16 (15.5*) 3 wood last night as well and the head on that is 215 gram god that thing is a cannon. il only be able to get one of these donr by the wekeend. ill go the 11.5. bec i need to hit somelonger lower shots. thing is. if i put the FEX in it, theres NO way that will come out. the fex i think is the best 3 wood shaft ive hit. i keep going back to it. dog 2 bones syndrome................., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 im shafting the 11.5 only with an 8.2 crazy fw80. wouldnt let me take the FEX out of the kasco, says the kasco is the best club ive got. dont miss the fairway and it goes 270 whay do i want to change it? errrrrrrrrr i dunno. so the crazy goes in it for first try.

supo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 well heres the hthing he thinks the kasco is the best club out there................. said in winter put away all ur others and hit this exclsuvely. . insummer try the RC ill get lower flight. hes a HUGE fan of the kasco ,and i gotta say i havnt missed a single shot wit hit yet not a one. i hit one in the bunker last sun dec i aimed there it went ead straight apart form that every other shot has gone rifle straight with 20 more yards than my 3w its very hard not lto pay this and .............., its the easiest club ive ever hit and its got the best shaft and its monster long. il bring this to every match for sure. even tom when i just got a call saying the crazy is ready!!!! itching to hit the RC it looks so damn good. might not even need to sahft up the 13* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your initial thought as to the better option 11* or 13*? Thanks F i think the 11 for wind or roll the 13 for general paly if the course is tight my kasco is 12.8 and ubersleek and ive had no probs whatso ever. but today went str8 for the 11.5 option to get shafted. just think tis more driver esque.

supo Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 well, if i said run, DONT walk RUN and get this immediatly would it be considered mincing my words? shafted with a crazy 80 fw 8.2 x 300 cpm 11.5* firts shot, didnt even warm up with it, had no time, took the wrapper off, un loaded o nthe 3rd tee. huge elevated tee 278 dead centre with a small small baby draw. dead cente of the club. smile doesnt cut it. 4 more drives with it nothing but out of the screws and id say 270+ average. looks are just perfect . bigger than a 3 wood but nothing like a driver. feel is beautiful, a lot better than the kasco, but the FEX is the much better shaft in this the fairway launches it too high.by saying that i dont mean high , just not as penetrating as the driver shaft. my thtoughts are this shaft is a little too soft in this head, it DEFINATLY needs a driver shaft. not that thats going to stop me tomorrow form using it . its just the FEX is tighter and lower and can swing harder with it. can handle anything, id rate this club VERY highly, very very highly indeed. if u guys are after a driver replacment then this is most definatly IT.....!

frogeye Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks Stew, Very promising results. I think I will be leaning towards the 11* + FE proto. How do you think the combo should perform? F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 would be an incredible combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 gamed it twice this weekend on 2 very very differt styles s of course sat was open and wide great for bombing yesterdays was tight and long huge premium on being on the short stuff. hit 6 drives with this club yesterday, and i was gaming hte yonex 380 ezone -quadra fex, and i just had a s**ttttty swing going on , i couldnt get my hands to turn over, and with the quadra that spells utter driving disaster , i was driving like miss Daisy . so i put it away and took the 11.5 D/S out for the whole back nine. aganin didnt miss it badly once ,and distance was not a problemo. i guess its no more 20 yards behind my driver. most times and i get the middle f this a lot more than the driver. the shaft situation iwas thinking about wasnt an issue yesterday. its a smidge softer to hit ,but no probs. im going to leave it as is. i hit one off the deck on 18 a 602 ayrd straight beast 2nd shot , not the easiest thing to get yourself to do, but its was certianly easier than i thought it would be, got it ok, not perfect, adn it came out low its a little heart in mouth esque. but it doenst look like ur hitting a driver. just choked down on it and smoothed it , good result. really liking this club. not sure what to do with the 13* head. as the 11.5 is for me. is it better than the kasco, well its not really like it, tha set up of bth is a lot different, the kasco is def a small driver, this is a very big 3 wood. if i cud only have one of these ??? hmmmmm id say. in japan id take the kasco in oz ill take the RC.
