well, everyone mentions shallow face and deep face as pertaining to woods

and then they relate it to how easy it is to hit off the deck or off of a tee



a little help just so i can have a better understanding of what you guys are talkin about, thank you much

deep face is a taller sole-to-crown measurement
shallow face is a shorter sole-to-crown measurement

A deep faced wood will have a 'taller' face height than a shallow faced wood

examples of deep-face:

Nike Ignite T-60, Cobra SZ fairways

shallow face:

Orlimar Trimetal

A shallow face wood is easier to hit off the deck because the center of gravity of the club head is lower than a deeper face face wood, therefore easier to get the ball up.

just for the heck ofit youngun, your v-steel has a shallow face, hence the ease of hitting it off the deck. A driver like an R7 etc has a deep face, imagine trying to hit that pig off the deck..........

On a side note, how is the V-Steel treating you nowa days, I know you had some issues with it, I liked my 5 wood so much I also bought the 3 wood.
