primo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 So I've had a chance to play a few rounds with my new 3 wood. It's a RC BBD Type H off the JPGA. It's got the 660 TR X flex. I honestly thought I was going to change the shaft, because I tried the 660 S in a driver before and thought it was too whippy. Well in X and in the 3 it's really nice. Very friendly and easy to hit. To give some reference I had been playing a Kasco DNA FS with a Fuji HM04 X. According to my sources this thing is IDENTICAL to the earlier model known as the KP99. I really like this 3 wood, however the sound was getting a little too harsh for me. The super hyten is a little on the loud side. Performance wise I thought it was great. Long as all hell, however I got so good with my driver, I just never pulled the spoon anymore. Well after a few rounds and a session on the range, I must say I am quite impressed with this club. It's not as long as the Kasco, but I wasn't really looking for distance out of this club. It is more accurate than the Kasco. I was having problems controlling my Kasco, and like I said I have really been hitting my Gemini great, so the spoon had just been sitting in the bag. I'm not sure how much of it is the head or the shaft, I have a feeling it has more to do with the shaft, but this new combination is much less demanding than my old setup. I can take a easier swing, and therefore get more accurate. The biggest difference, however and what I am most excited about is the feel of this club. The feel is absolutely solid. Muted and heavy, like a mini Maru, very nice feel, great trajectory. Also Very forgiving. Again part of this may be the difference in shaft. Here are a couple of images.

forgedCBuser Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 if i had known, i would've taken that FS off your hands... just picked one up and currently getting a vp70 installed. definitely a looong 3wd and the sound i don't mind since my fave driver is also kasco... got a supernova coming soon too which is supposed to be the sh!t! who knows, maybe the search'll be over soon...

scratchgolfnut69 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 i'm confused too. the 660tr is definately stiff. the trti-46 is much better in a fw than a driver as well andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodog Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 i'm confused too. the 660tr is definately stiff. the trti-46 is much better in a fw than a driver as well andy to add - judging by the amount of tour spec graphics visible on the trti, it looks like that shaft was tipped quite a bit while the 660tr stiff was not tipped at all! i have two r510 tps both w/ tour specs - one is a stiff flex that was tipped a bunch (looks like the trti in this picture) and the other is an x that wasn't tipped (looks like the 660tr).

primo Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 hmm interesting. I was told the 3 wood was off the jpga tour and that it was an X flex. That may explain why it's so soft. I have no idea what the club freqs out at. I have another HM04 on the way that I might try. I disagree I think the TRITI is incredible in the driver. It's the closest thing to steel as I can find. Thanks for the info guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info guys. ill agree with ya there..the triti46 is awesome in a driver if ya need a heavy shaft...very responsive and dispersion is tight....also very easy to load !
