Spoon Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 well i have had 3 rounds with the ryoma under my belt. still no skymarks haha. this thing is the most user friendly 3 wood i have ever hit. i am kinda used to the size already after spending quality time with it. the flat shape does make it more appealing. im not going to make this super technical just real world user experiences. first of all the flat shape does make a difference. it keeps you grounded and confident at address, with something this big and flat, you really think that every shot will be a good one. second. its soo forgiving, ofcourse whatever swing you put in will determine the flight but even off center shots were rewarded with the ball flying in a straight direction albeit lower flight. mis**ts were the same generally in a forward direction with tons of roll. good shots were nice and high, geez its still carrying, roll was pretty decent too. what took some time to get used to is the sound, it doesnt sound like any 3 wood i have hit, sound is a bit muted BUT not dead kinda muted. more lively with some substance and oompf. i think its that stabilizer weight that makes all the difference. its like hitting an empty can with a heavy ball bearing in the rear. its light yet hefty, you can defintely feel the weight of the club, on the backswing it almost feels like the 60g weight is guding you thru and thru and you can most defintely feel the club gliding, none of that annoying aerodynamic sound the egg spoon produced. i think this club is so revolutionary, its most likely the best 3 wood ive ever hit, problem is my dad agrees as well, having suffered loss of distance in the last year and some SS from 105 to 90 in the driver, i offered him the club and hes sooo happy. nothing to revitalize his game than the most perfect 3 wood ever created.

Spoon Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice C! what did you end up shafting it with? Are you getting one for yourself? tour ad dj-8s. no im not getting one for myself, i have limited funds that sees me putting that to a driver head. probably a crazy 435II. i love the ryoma 3 wood but cannot justify getting another one.

SOunds like a real solid combo. I was sweating on Jeff's but had to sell something. It was too good to sit on BST for over a week :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too good to sit on BST for over a week :( i swear i think the last two weeks were the golden age of the FS section:) and its not over yet haha ryomas, crazies, jbeams etc etc being sold. hope the streak continues, may pluck my next driver head from there Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thought: perhaps we all don't buy or "own" any of our gear directly...instead, everyone contributes X amount of money and we create a pool that buys every piece of high end gear that becomes available, then there's a lottery of sorts for who gets which driver, wedge, shaft, putter, etc and in what rotation. Each cub must then be returned to the group pool after 3-4 weeks. If you think about it, many of us don't keep clubs or shafts much longer than that.

gian11 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) SOunds like a real solid combo. I was sweating on Jeff's but had to sell something. It was too good to sit on BST for over a week :( I can hear it calling your name :-) I played 1 round today and it was so amazing to hit this on the fairway. I was hitting it straight and long. As mentioned to you earlier, turf interaction was so great as it glides quite easily maybe something to do with the design. Mis-hit seems to produce low flight but long and straight. The sound is like a solid thud - I'm liking it so far very friendly! As I have said earlier, I personally like this better than my egg spoon. Would be nice to hear others experience especially gocchin's comparison between the F3 & egg... Edited December 2, 2011 by gian11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i couldn't make it @ Windsor J. Bit under the weather. Glad it's working out, I would have been more surprised if you said you couldn't hit it. Did u move the fw80 in it? Tuesday we go ashlar? I wanna have a crack on the par5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkats Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Have two rounds in with my Ryoma F3. I also played the Egg spoon previously and never thought it could be replaced. But the Ryoma is just so easy to hit! They are both long but I have so much more confidence standing over the Ryoma. Off the tee or turf it's unbelivievably forgiving. I love the shallower face and don't mind the large size. Trajectory with the Ryoma is a bit higher than the Egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
