Hitting a 13 Wood?!

Yes 13 Wood, not 13* lofted wood...

30* to be exact, not my kinda thing but we had one in and I just had to take it for a spin.

For those who are not familiar with the Maruman Shuttle it is a very good fairway wood I would say easier to hit than the newest egg fw, Maruman put a ton of weight distributed evenly along the sole to help lower CG and get the ball up blazin fast. good for high handicappers but with some weight and a heavier shaft can do extremely well for a better player who wants a point and shooter.

so first whacks were big high draws with the 13 wood after I got it dialed in and was able to hit it straight and super consistently as well, very high due to the very soft standard shaft and very easy to over power and send any direction but for a slower swinger I could suggest this club with ease.

Anyway it was fun and this is a good club for those who want to get lofty.

This could be a useful club to play a short par 4 or long par 3. I know there are hybrids in that loft but for some people they are more comfortable hitting a club with bigger head off the tee. It does the same job as a hybrid in similar loft but it's a mental thing that accounts for half the confidence when you set up.

bec i need a high laucnher and soft faller for 220-230 yards urgently....

u think this cud be reshafted with a stinger with any success for what i need purely for hitting on short par 5s which i need need to hit 4 of ???

The only way I could hit that 230yds would be if you measured distance vertically! I'd love to see how it plays for you Stew!
