I'm no club +%%!* and wouldn't want to spend all my money being one... But once in a while I do like a new toy for the course. This year focusing on a new big stick, albeit a previous year model.

ALL SHOW, NO GO...
Have you come close to finding "the one" that sticks with you no matter what? What does it take for a driver to get kicked out of your bag? Are you interested in hitting a certain fairway %, distance?

fyi, the rocketballz commercial with all the pros saying they love it was based on the non-tour rocketballz head... in fact a lot of the pros prefer the non-tour vs the tour

I want to trade in my Superdeep towards the VR Tour...
Damn man, those are crazy numbers for a 3 wood! They claim a 15 yard gain, what do you normally hit your 3 wood??Originally Posted by fraij da 5 11
I hit the RBZ 3 wood today... Oh my gawdddddd.![]()

The Launch Monitor im sure is relatively generous in yardage but my last swing had roll out to 314 yds.![]()
Averages from my print out
RBZ 3 wood Stiff X-Con 5 stock shaft
SS ------- Ball Speed -------- Launch Angle -------- Ball Spin -------- Carry ------ Total Yds ------ PTR
107.4 ------ 152.4 ---------------- 13.72 ----------------- 2,428 ---------- 269.5 -------- 297.4 -------- 141.4
I honestly dont even believe these yardage numbers... But that's whats on the print out... SS thought shouldn't be off and 107 with the 3 wood is a lot faster than I can get my current 3 wood going for sure.
i20 is a great driver as well. however, it is more open and neutral weighted than the g20.Originally Posted by HWBurnz

And since we're on driver talk, anyone have any opinions on the Ping i20? Saw it at Golf Galaxy the other day and fell in love with the all black matte finish. I'm hitting the G10 now so I'm overdue for an upgrade. And the G20 just didn't sit right with my eyes. I've gone from hitting a big draw to low fade, and the G20 just seemed too open for my setup. But that i20, looked damn good!
As far as the Nike VR Tour goes, I've been checking those out as well. You can easily find them on ebay for around $130-150 shipped, still new.
Well MY 3 wood is an old $*% Callaway Big Bertha Steel head with a steel shaft.Originally Posted by HWBurnz

Wow, sounds awesome!! I read a bunch of fascinating reviews myself, and my friend who bought one with me read the same thing. We sort of bit the bullet and wanted to get it because we both play better when we walk the course vs using a cart. I can't explain it either. Plus of course you save $ on every round.Originally Posted by eaalto

Good piece of equipment. I think I bought mine last summer, and I'm sure it's paid for itself two fold in what I would have spent on cart fees at my course. The only issues I've had is the front brake cable popping out once or twice (easy fix), and the alignment getting messed up, but the alignment was my own fault. (I was towing it behind a golf cart by hanging my arm out the side, it hit a dip and flipped over, getting dragged in the process. Ever since then it goes left when I let it roll down hill).
Not sure that it's conducive to the golf game, but when I'm out there by myself, I will sometimes just launch it down the fairway and run after it, effectively playing speed golf (have played less than 3 hour rounds on foot this way, sometimes closer to 2 hours).
It is heavier than some other products, but it rolls really well, and i think it has a very sturdy frame. Once you've set it up and taken it down a few times, you'll get over the "difficulty" some reviewers claim.
