+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I recently bought a bunch of TM Tour FW's, V-Steel Tour w/ Pro 95, 200 Tour smooth 17*, 200 Tour 21* smooth to compare against my MR23 FW's and here is what i found. The V-Steel Tour is .5 more closed than the MR-23 FW's and doesn't feel nearly as good at impact which brought me to the question, are the MR23 FW open or square :? I thought V-Steel Tour's are square. I also bought a cheap used F-ST 13.5*w/ YS 8.1 SX flex and that thing put everything to shame I mean EVERYTHING I have ever tried. I have hit F-ST's many times before always loved the feel and sound just found it a little difficult to hit from tight lies, but this time around with the heavy shaft it just kills my TMs and my MR23s flat out. The F-ST has a closed face of .5 and that is no problem with me, In fact my R7 has a.5 closed face also, I have hit the square face R7 and I still prefer the closed face better. Anyone like closed faces in this Tour age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone like closed faces in this Tour age? I definitely prefer square to slightly closed as long as there isn't too much offset. That kills me more than anything. Over 1 degree closed though and I start to get hinky at setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashryan8888 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 My F-ST looks PERFECT to me. I also prefer a slightly closed face. I havn't looked at another 3 wood for over a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 F-st 13.5* is indeed one great fairway wood. I had never had a 3 wood that long before this club. It will stay in my bag for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
