RIduffer Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I have a friend who swears by the v steel, he just wouldnt up grade or change. Problem is the v steel is not in prod anymore & hard to get 2nd hand. Trying to get my friend into rbz stg 2 as his v steel is completely worn out Think I have a 13* V-Steel floating about.

Shambles Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I have a friend who swears by the v steel, he just wouldnt up grade or change. Problem is the v steel is not in prod anymore & hard to get 2nd hand. Trying to get my friend into rbz stg 2 as his v steel is completely worn out Tell me about it !! I've been trying to complete a set for the last couple of years and only found clubs that were way too abused or their owners were way too ambitious. Still looking. On the plus side, I do have a set of burners that are not that bad albeit the Driver and 3 wood are set to draw. I suppose I could improve their potential with a judicius change of shafts.

BryanAC Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I realize that this is a bit late, but I was in the same situation as you. I had a King Cobra F-speed 3+ wood in a red Aldila NV shaft that I could barely get off the ground. I found a Callaway 3w in the new orange Aldila NV shaft and did a head swap hoping the kick point on the orange shaft would help get the ball up a little higher with the Cobra. it didn't. I found that I hit the Callaway better than the Cobra so that one stayed in my bag until I hit the S-Yard GT Type S 3 wood. Typically, I hit the ball pretty far all across the bag. However, my new favorite club is the S-Yard GT Type S 3 wood. I can tee it up and hit it high to let it ride the wind, or hit it low for a more piercing trajectory. It is deadly accurate, and I can shape shots with confidence with it because it sets up nicely behind the ball. The sound took a little getting used to because I was coming off a Cobra which sounded like 2 bottles clinking together, but the "click" of the Type S sounds more like an iron shot than a wood, and is now music to my ears. The last 2 rounds I hit 100% of the fairways with my driver, and 6 of them were particularly long with help from the wind, hard fairways and elevated tees. I was really itching to hit my 3 wood though. Just pulling it out of the bag got me excited for my approach shot on the par 5 18th at my local course. I blew it over the water and the green and almost onto the cart path in front of the club house, and was happier than a pig in slop even though I blew an eagle chance. I know that a club doesn't match all players, but If you have a chance I recommend trying one out. I think you might like it. I don't see this one coming out of my bag for a really long time.

Dash Boogie Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have experimented with a number of easy to hit fairway woods. The best success I have had lately is with the TEE xcg6, xcg5, and Ping K15. Currently gaming an xcg6, and getting ready to put a GD AD-DJ in it.

stevopagolf Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Well, I went the RomaRo type R route and am very very happy. Long and forgiving Tour AD shaft. Done for a couple of years or so. Had the Egg that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 yes RomaRo Type R is long, forgiving, and feels/sounds fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
