May 16, 200421 yr 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?

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.
May 16, 200421 yr 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.
May 22, 200421 yr 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.
