Yes, I'm drinking the Kool-aid from what I'm hearing on tour, but I really want to try these fairway woods. 2 stories from the tour, off of Twitter. Yes, I realize both of these guys are TM staffers, but they are interesting. First is from Dustin Johnson via Steve Dimeglio, golf writer for USA Today:
@sdimegUSATgolf Dustin Johnson hit RBZ 3-wood. Flew it 310 (said too far) So he dropped loft from 15 degree to 17. A 4-wood is his 3-wood Lost no distance. (from his old 3-wood)
Second post is from Joe Ogilvie's Twitter feed, after he tested the RBZ fairway woods out. He put the 3-wood and 5-wood in his bag.
@ogilviej Trackman numbers: TM 13 degree burner 3wd: 251 yds carry, 269 yds total TM Rocketballz 14.5 degree 3wd: 265yds carry 291 yds total
My concern with the RBZ line is too much distance. I want a 3W I can hit straight and control - hitting a 3W as far as my driver leaves me with a huge distance gap between my 3W and 3I. I'm leaning towards the Titleist 910F, but I will hit the RBZ 17* 4WD and the Mashie before deciding.
