Mjr. D Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Time for a new 3 wood and hybrid and my first driving iron. Right now I have a 12.5 degree Tourstage X-FT Type T with a Crazy Sigma 50 and a Royal Collection 505V 18* hybrid with a Quadra Fire Express Proto TX flex shaft. They're not easy enough to hit straight. I'm looking for whatever the easiest fairway wood and hybrid there is to hit dead straight, middle of the fairway. I don't need distance, just easy dead straight. What do you recommend? I'm thinking Ryoma for both or the New Eggs for both or maybe Honma... They don't have to both be the same brand either. Driving iron I'm thinking Epon 903... Also what shafts would you guys recommend for them for the ultra hard, aggressive swinger to put in these. Much appreciated!

nobmontana Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Have not had the chance to hit it yet, but I got the Zodia OZ Ti FW 15 deg and from the looks of it may be easier than my Epon 202HT Epon 202HT so far has been the easiest for me. Very shallow and easy to hit. It goes really straight too! Ti heads on the other hand are not the best when it comes to feel. My experience has been harder feel off the face compared to a maraging steel faced head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FyteOn Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I have been playing the Glorious 3w and the Ryoma hybrids for a few months now. I know my Glorious is not as long as the Ryoma 3w but it is dead balls straight. My club is a tight desert course and half of the par 4s are 3w off the tee even from the tips. It is the easiest 3w to hit straight I have ever played. I get angry every time I play because I'm always 265 out on #7 and I can't get home anymore, but the accuracy is worth the 15 yards.

Swizbeatz Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 There were two pretty good driving iron threads recently, I'm on mobile or I'd link. Might still be on first page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 hmmmmmmmmmmm the ryoma might not be bec it tends to draw im finding , regularly , and with ur speed, that might lead to some snaps. and its VERY VERY sleek. the egg spoon form 2014 is striaghter and then some that doesnt wanna move at all anywhere. perfect for hitting dead straight , the best ive hit. im hoping the 2015 mathces it if not exceeds it. but not got one yet. driving irons as far as im concerned theres only 2 the honma and the srixon BUT the titleist 705 (or what ever it is ) looks great as well. but that is a REAL iron, i doubt thats easy to hit at all. the honma temdsto fadeback to centre , and the srixon is neutral to easier to draw ,i cant draw the honma with NS 120s in it , but i can with the vizard85s. the 120s is much longer and arrow straight, MUCH better for wind the honma IMO............ is a much better DI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staxxx Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Stew, funny you mention the snap draws with the Ryoma. I am desperately facing this problem with my 24*. I also have an aggressive hard swing and out of desperation put a 290 cpm tipped driver shaft into it a few days ago. Now I get lowish bombs that just will not stop. Not sure what the answer is - perhaps some other club? But to offer my choice on a great 3 wood which is deadly accurate and long long long - the Baldo 13.5 Brassy. I just got it off a forum member with a Roddio shaft and it works well for me. I mainly use it off the tee and then use an 18.5 degrees for long par 5 fairway shots. Would it be dreadfully wrong and blasphemous to reccommend the Ping FWs? :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Zodia OZ Ti FW is my new friend. I am getting around 265yrd to 270yrd overall distance. Only got 250 with my Epon. Very forgiving both on and off the tee. Will be using this off the tee when my driver is off. Highly recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 ok. apart from the :"tour model " " a few companies put out each year .......... ..., we gotta remember "most" of these ultra long sleek distance seeking woods from JP are made for dreadfully unfit, unheathy older smokers that are weak and petite that play once or twice a year and hack thier way around courses (in carts) over 7 hours for a score easily over 220 and think they cudda given matsuyama. a run on a cpl of holes NO ONE , i mean no one here does what we do , bastardising these club, thats why they are so long and so light and so difficlut to get the specs right on. AND LOOK CLOSED!!!!!!! id think i see less than 1% of the long bombers with differnt to stock shafts no one does it except us loons !!! so to get the right combo is 100% trial and error , sure theres a few undergroudn mags and such but they do the same as we do! thats also why a huge amount of clubs here are clsoed simply bec the populace, overall simply cant hit em other wise. the manufactures dont give a rats asssss bout the rest of the planets reuirements ,thats whay its called JDM ********************made for**************** the japanese domestic market. not...., MADE IN JAPAN. huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge differnce. they are mde simnply to make it easier for " them " not to be OB every shot ,the arnt thinking of getting on in 2 and making the 2 putt par, loooooooooooooooooooord no. its just a cart driven day away from the family in an exclsuive park with really top end sticks and thier mates. drinking booze. sounds tops really.. u just gotta accept it aint ever gonna hcange and u gotta keep trying new set ups. or just use the stock set up!
