That’s the opposite of what I do. My hands beat the club to the ball and I hit it right of Reagan

I happily pulled this on a par 5 off the tee to avoid water. I yanked it left into the river. I then proceeded to hit a hero shot on the drop with it OB. The last par 5 was a 560 yard flat hole and I was pin high after the second shot. Just happened to be 30 yards left.
The launch and distance are easy with this lineup. The rest I have to figure out

While I was thinking about it I went ahead and weakened the lie angle by a degree. Playing 1 flat and 1 weak now. Hopefully this helps with direction
I got a chance to hit the TD 5w out of the rough today. It's such a perfect club. Dammit it's amazing.

Well I have the Quantum Max D 5W and it's very forgiving and easy to hit. I ordered a Quantum Ti 3W and was a bit disappointed as it was my fault. The head size is exactly the same as my 5W. I can't have that as I hit it and I would stick with my Quantum Mini over the Ti. The QMini was a 50/50 when its comes to direction. Easy to elevate but too much of a fade when my swing was off. I need something easier to hit with more forgiveness and accuracy so moving on to a TourEdge Exotics Mini. I will say the QMini has been the best Mini I've hit or owned. Just too big when addressing the ball of the turf. Maybe I should have bought the Quantum Max D 3W but ready to try something different.
Struggled with the Quantum 3 wood lately. Had a good range session tonight, but I've really just not hit the ball well lately with the 3w. UW has been incredible though.
3w is tough off the deck and tee. That’s the reason mini drivers have become popular. I’m happy I struggled thru mine early and got it fixed
Had this shot off the tee Saturday. Just a nice easy swing, high tight draw, and was less than 3 feet from the 150 marker.
The Quantum Max 5 wood has been a stellar addition to the bag!

That's a big 5W dude!
This thing goes!
For sure... I hit a 7W about 220 last Sunday.
Good lord Jandice! Where’s that Denzel gif when you need it?

I think the Quantum TD 3w will make the bag over the Quantum Ti. I like the look of the TD better and it is more forgiving than the Elyte TD model in my opinion.

Pretty sure I hit the longest 3w of my life today. I hit a low (for me) hard draw, and it hit in the fairway in a speed slot and rolled out to 325.
I've been struggling lately with the 3 wood and actually went to a fitting to put the mini driver in the bag. I'm still on the edge with that one but I'll say I had my best night ball striking with the Quantum Max 3w yesterday that I've had in a long time. When used by the right person, this thing is a beast.

The forgiveness and explosiveness of the face is the best I've ever played in a fairway wood. I've hit some bombs with my 3w and 5w when I'm only aiming for solid contact. That should tell me something about my game.
Course I play league at has a short 260-270 yd par 4 on the back. You hitting 6i there?

No lol. I had a crazy amount of roll on my shot
What do you think are causing the struggles?
I was blaming it on the shallow face honestly, but that should actually be a positive for high handicappers off the tee. There’s something that’s been causing me to get steep with this club and I’ve skied shots off the tee because of this. It’s me, not the club. But I’m going to stick with this because when it’s on, it’s freaking on.
Before trading it in, I decided to try my newly-acquired-via-trade Quantum Max 5w with Denali Frost 70g 6.5 shaft. I don’t play x-flex but this didn’t seem that stiff. I was hitting off a range mat but man, I was impressed. I hit around 12-15 balls and only one didn’t hit a nice high window. Most shots were leaking a little right but it was pretty consistent for me. It was more in line with what I was hoping the Quantum Ti 5w would be for me. Maybe I am a shallow (face) fairway wood player after all. I think I might try the same shaft but 6.0 and see if I get the starting line a little more left and see if it can knock my Elyte Ti 3HL out of the bag.
Was making good contact with this club today(love the sound so much). But kept losing the ball left no have this set in the draw setting and am tempted to put it back to standard.
I'm exited to get my Quantum Max 9W into play more consistently. I put it straight into the bag in August and haven't had pretty much any range time with it. From what I saw then, it can absolutely launch high like I want it to. The bonded hosel makes for a need to figure out the setup and target line with it, because I play my Cobra fw's a bit flat.
Was distance where you like to see it as well?
