Uh... ya, if I was you I wouldn't even ponder anything, if those are legit stats book a fitting for a driver and 3 wood asap.I played in a 3 clubs and a putter event on new years day and the conditions were much calmer than its first outing. I was hitting the 5w off the tee and the deck allday. I was usually hitting it to spots only around 10-15 yards behind where my driver normaly is. I did manage to hit one that we lasered to be 256 yards from the tee. That one was as far as i can hit driver there.. A nice smooth swing and i get an awesome straight high ball with a touch of draw... I then played in a medal event the next day and still didnt use driver that much. I cant believe the results im getting. Forgiveness is great cause i missed a few and still got results better than i shouldve.
im in full ponder mode now for the driver...
That real long one was an absolute pure strike with draw and downwind (~10mph) so im not focusing too much on that result. I jutst didnt think id be able to hit it that far.
Good ones have been around 220-225 off the tee with a couple maybe a hair longer.
I was told by the guy who watched me on the launch monitor, that im not swinging quick enough to get the full benefit of a 3w. I tend to agree with him by the results im getting. Perhaps its the shorter shaft than my old XR 3w or the higher loft but I LOVE IT. I was swinging at 87-90mph on the monitor... A bit of a stupid question here but is it common to swing a fairway wood as fast as a driver? Lighter shaft maybe?
Go hit the 816.I could see a 4w making its way into my bag, I'm looking to upgrade my FW of choice. I need to find a good fitting cart somewhere and have some fun.
Will do, shaft recommendation?Go hit the 816.
For you? Try the Rogue i/o, 70's weight. I think you'd like it.Will do, shaft recommendation?

Got a question for those who bag the GBB FWs ... I bought a GBB Divine Nine in mid-December to replace my 4H, then right after Christmas I traded in some equipment to pick up the GBB 7 Wood at Global Golf (with the 30-day playability guarantee). Was hoping to add a GBB 5 Wood down the road, when I saw a used GBB Heavenwood available at Global Golf for a good price (lefties get 15 percent off used clubs right now). All the clubs mentioned above have the KK Black 50 FW shafts in regular flex.
So, I have a few weeks to decide on whether to send back the used Heavenwood and keep to my plan to add a 5W in the spring, or do I (via the 30 day playability guarantee) send back the 7W and possibly pick up a 3W. If I go with the 5W, I'd probably strengthen the loft 1 degree, and if I go 3W I'd probably adjust the loft up.
So my two bag set-up options are either the "strong 5-7-9" or the "lofted-up 3-HW-9" ... all that said, does anyone here have any thoughts on the two proposed set-ups I've mentioned above? Any/all feedback would be appreciated ...

I would get on a launch monitor and see if the HW and D9 don't overlap in distances. When I was being fit out at ECPC these two were very close and really became redundant in terms of the gaps they were covering.
I would think the 3W and a HW or D9 would be ideal, but again depends on how the distances are shaking out on the monitor and how you use them on the course.
It is bigger than the pro, similar to the XR. I chose this club over my old XR Pro, no intentions of looking back.Is this a little bigger than the xr? Personally, the xr is the best 3 wood I have had. If this was slightly bigger then that could be something to ponder.
Had a pretty good outing with this club today, I was very impressed. The sound is awesome, the cup face is fantastic and the launch was exactly what I was looking for in a three metal. I found it easy to turn the ball over and hard to hit a cut. This shot here I had 283 to the pin and was 10 yards short of the green.

It was a good one for sure. The shaft is a Graphite Design AD DI-7x. The AD DI model was popularized by Tiger sometime back in 2011-2013. Not sure when he first started using it, but he (re)claimed his #1 WGR and FedEx cup standings spot with it and soon everyone and their dog had one.Sounds like you crushed it! What shaft is that? (sorry if I missed that somewhere)
