13.5 degree 2013 TourStage X-FW w/ Tour AD GT-7

[+TourSpecGolfer]

Here's another new fairway wood that just arrived a few weeks ago at TSG, the new 2013 TourStage X-FW in 13.5* loft attached to the upgrade Graphite Design Tour AD GT-7 Stiff flex shaft. I'm only 2 rounds into it and already know it's not going to be my gamer although I sure wish I had the game for it because it's really something else. What can I say it's X-SERIES... that means it will be for the faster swinging better ball striking golfer especially in 13.5*.

Bridgestone actually trademarked a new material used in the manufacturing of this fairway wood called "Ultimate Strong Metal" Yes I know very cheesy Japanesey but its supposed to be able to maintain very high energy transfer, its thin and light but also very durable. The reason why I said I couldn't game this was purely my game, I don't have the ball striking skills to hit this with full confidence. I know a lot of golfers that absolutely could and I wouldn't hesitate suggesting this as one of their options. I hit two par 5's in 2 in a single day which is a rarity for me and oddly after i hit poor drives. This could be that life saver if you find yourself in a position having to carry a revine or arroyo or perhaps needing play it safe hitting a long tight accurate club from the tee box.

How about the new GT-7 by Graphite Design in this club? I like this shaft a lot it for me produced a mid-high launch with not very much spin noticed. I like the 70 gram range shafts in my FW's as one of my biggest problems is hitting FW's left or right even much more so than my driver. So it's been the CRAZY FW80 thats cured that and it appears this shaft does something similar in the heavier weights.

It has a very nice setup when looking down at it. I personally would prefer a slightly more shallow face but being a 13.5 they needed to not only keep the trajectory low but also make sure the slightest mis**t high on the face wouldn't produce a tragic result.

I think Type-T will be much more friendly, even with 12.5* loft.

this looks nice. last year's x-fw type t is the best 3w i've played to date. at 12.5* it's long, somehow easy to hit off the deck, and workable. it never gets any talk around here but i'll tell you that it had no problem kicking a yamaha and egg spoon out of my bag.

Played again today and thanks to this club I'm able to hit Par 5's in two on a more frequent basis than before. It's for sure longer than anything else i've tried in some time, I just wish it were a little more shallow and forgiving.

When you're ready to put it up for sale, drop me a line! One fine looking fairway for sure.

This one is great off the tee as well. It's always a good one to have when the driver's acting up. I like the traditional and clean shape it has. TourStage always does a great job!
