That's wouldn't be the end of the world, no would it Gray? :D
 
That thing looks nice! Might have to consider that for a new FW.

Really great club? Great like the Mashie? Must be a Hotlist Silver.

Getting a Hot List Silver or Gold does not make a club a great club. Look at their comments? Great club. But when a category like "demand" is part of the equation, performance is not the only thing that matters in a list like the Hot List. It could be the best performing club, but when part of the equation is not based on performance, it becomes "interesting".

I put one of these in play while visiting THP down in FL a few weeks ago and it sure would have been a "Gold" hotlist for me. This club was a bomber. Straight,long, good looking, easy to swing and prouced great results. I hit some of the best 3W tee shots Ive ever hit with it and out drove my driver.

Hawk look forward to reading your thoughts buddy.
 
Exactly why THP has a demo day. Why take the advice of a third party magazine when you can take the advice of 50 regular consumers that get to hit everything at once.

I agree, the "demand" "buzz" or whatever they are calling that category each year is the most useless thing they try to tell me. I would swing with a brick attached to a broom stick if that were absolutely the best club for me. And some days it just might be. :smile:
 
Man that looks sweet!!!! It would look very sweet in my bag too!!!!
 
The head shape and face really remind me of a Tour Edge Exotics XCG. It'll definitely be interesting to hear how the shaft performs.

The shaft was reviewed on the THP home page.

I must be missing it. I see a review for the 59 in a driver. I meant specifically it'll be interesting to hear how this lightweight shaft will perform in a fairway wood.

yes it was a driver review. They do not have specific FW wood shafts. But it does play very similar to the driver shaft.
 
Exactly JB. Gold/Silver, but we don't see the testers reviews so we can't compare our games to the tester. THP is a much better source for reviews and testing from what I've seen since joining. Although I always buy the darn thing, it gets be p'd off every time.

The exact reason you will have to hit up a THP Demo Day at some point. You will be able to test everything and of course be able to offer your reviews to others.
 
With the Cleveland line (superlight series + Kusala shafts) and the Taylormade R11/Burner 2 lines, I've never been more excited about giving these a shot when they're available.

The thing that kills me is I changed my driver/3wood/hybrid all just last year.....sigh......:(

I think you mean C. Kua shafts. But you could add a Kusala if you would like instead. I love both shafts.

JB, do you mean Clevleand offers their new fairway woods with the Kusala shafts as a shaft option?
Do you know the swingweight with the Kusala shaft?
 
I game a 2009 Launcher 17* and I love it. I am definitely interested in the review on this, and can't wait until they (and the ultra lights) hit my stores shelves.

No, they do not. I mean someone could put one in there if they wanted.
 
Took this beauty out for an initial range session today. Was able to hit a bunch of balls with it. Today was kind of a feeling out session as I've never used a 5W. It's a bit different, namely in head size and shaft length, but it didn't take long to get over that.

Brief initial thoughts are: 1) Easy to get the ball up 2) It fires rockets 3) Weight didn't bother me at all
 
Hawk,

What's the length on the new 5 FW? Is it longer than 2010 DST 5 FW? I'm loving Sirxon/Cleveland/Miyazaki combo! Can't wait until Feb to try it out. C.Kua 43 is a beauty. I won't mind putting that shaft on my Burner Superfast.

Length is 43". I'm not sure how it compares to the DST length. It's definitely a nice looking shaft. Looking forward to getting to spend more time with it soon.

Thanks Hawk. Got the DST 5 W info of Cleveland web site. DST 5 W length is 42.625". So it is longer and lighter shaft consistent with their 2011 product lines. While I was browsing the Cleveland web site. I noticed they just put line the CG16 BP irons info.

Anyone know the MAP for the new FWs?
