I didn't hit enough shots with the K15 recently to confirm, but I think it is at least a 5 mph ball speed advantage for the M3 for me. I expect part of that is the fit is not great for the K15.

What balls are you guys using that swing 95-100 mph and find the regular ProV1 to be rock like? I swing slower than you (~ 88 MPH) and am not bothered even by the ProV1x or MTB X! The X balls make a little bit more noise, but I don't find the feel offensive. Maybe I have stone hands?

I think there's a couple ways to look at this:
1. Won contest - Obviously, you're in a unique situation. Pick something that like the look and feel of and that meets your dispersion/distance guidelines. Make sure the shaft and lie work for your swing.
2. General consumer - There's arguably...
I've put the G15s back in the bag the past couple times out and forever reason have struggled a bit. I think it is the thick soles and I'm fighting them.
I think at this point I'm reasonably confident then I could put any of my 3 irons sets (G15, TE Forged, MP4) into the bag and score in a...
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I could probably get by with less than 12 clubs, but think I currently have 30+ LOL :)
I can figure something out or go with less clubs. I've actually some success this season with a chipper of all things.
I need to sell some clubs too!

I've really appreciated your strokes gained insight in other threads so I'll give my opinion from a strokes gained perspective.
I'd estimate 2010 tech driver as losing 5-10 yards. I've seen this personally M3 vs K15. 5-10 is giving up maybe 0.04 strokes for a tour pro x 14 drives = 0.56.

Fairways hit is a misleading stat. I miss a lot of fairways, but many of them are only missing by a few yards and are in very manageable "rough" if you'd ever call it that. I'm
actually better out of the first cut than I am the fairway! It's like the ball is teed up!
Bad rough or trees are...
No worries and no offense taken! My typical course is fairly open and windy. The 2 par 5s typical yardage is 475-480 yard, but it plays very different depending upon wind direction. I've gotten home in two before with a strong helping wind or have had longer clubs in for the 3rd shot with a...
Mark may be full of crap and this is a controversial video, but check out at about the 8 minute mark.
Personally, I know from testing that G15 irons produce a more reliable ball speed for my crappy speed than MP4s. But, the G15s are a thick faced GI iron and are fairly spinny. They don't...
