I picked up this club new for cheap this winter ($99) after hearing everyone else say how great the CB1 and CB2 fairways are.
I've played it now for about a dozen rounds and I think it's probably the best fairway wood I've ever owned. I've always liked my V-Steels, but this club is longer and more forgiving.
It's long, it's straight and it's low profile enough to hit easily off the deck but still play off the tee and not worry about an "Ezra wedge" shot. :laugh:
Oh, and the titanium face has a really sweet sound when you nut one.
I played yesterday with Youngun5. Our course is in the process of aerating the greens so the back nine was closed. We were playing the "far" 19-27 holes as the back nine. On #20, a par 4, the tee shot is about a 180-190 yd. carry across water and I hit a crap drive that was weak and right but cleared the water. I had 190 yds. slightly uphill to the pin which was about 4 paces on the green and has a large greenside bunker in front of it. In other words all carry. Hitting left to the large part of the green would mean a sidehill/downhill putt that could easily turn into a 3 putt so I decided to take dead aim on line with the stick. I would have rather been in the bunker below the hole than left on the green with a nasty snake of a putt. I pulled out the CB1 and launched a long, high shot that landed softly a pace or so on the green and stopped about 3 ft. under the cup. Sweet! Stroked the putt into the center for a rather unconventional (or at least unexpected) birdie.
The high end of my bag is inconsistent right now but I keep hitting a few shots like that every round which leads me to believe there is nothing wrong with my clubs, just my swing... :laugh:
In short, the CB1 is a great fairway wood. :thumbs up:
