NiftyNiblick Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I've gotten to the point where, within the constraints of a 14-club limit, I can no longer justify occupying one of those spots with a big, 460cc driver. With two or three holes on my old, New England course massively wide enough to give me confidence enough for driver, I was overusing my driving iron. The 2 -wood/ tour spoon route seemed like a better choice than driver for me, and for a while, I'd been hitting a Joe Powell Smoker. The latter is very similar to the old Titleist PTor Hogan 56 in that it's actually shaped like a wooden club. Now, everybody of a similar mindset has been lauding the distance and accuracy of the TaylorMade RocketBallz 13° club. I had a demo on loan from our pro, but long as it was, I found it uncomfortably upright and tended to hook with it. Ironically, I just recently found the answer from Adams, whose original Tight Lies fairway wood slso annoyed me with its upright lie angle. The Super XTD 13° club has all the pop of the RocketBallz, but with a more comfortable, flatter lie angle. I realize most here favor the high end Japanese fairway woods, but if you like flatter lie angles, good luck trying to find one there.
