New 3-Wood - Awesome!

[Patlawman]

For years I have been using an original Adam's Tight Lies 3-wood. And all those years I have never been comfortable nor confident hitting it. Yesterday afternoon I went to my pro shop and asked to demo the Ping G2 3-wood since I have the G2 Driver and like it alot. I also asked the pro to pull some comparable 3-woods for me to try. I hit the Ping G2 3-wood first. Not bad, but nothing super terrific. Next I hit the King Cobra SZ 3-wood. I hit this club MUCH better (reasonably straight but with a slight hook) and it was more "comfortable" in my hands. My only problem with King Cobra was I did not like the logo that sits on top of the hosel. I have to look at it when I line it up with the ball, and I just didn't like it. Sounds crazy, but I believe we all need to feel "comfortable" when we set up and look down at the ball before firing away. The third club I hit was the Nike T-60 3-wood (15 degrees). It had a regular flex Ignite by Fujikura shaft on it. I hit 10 balls. 9 of 10 shots were beautiful hits straight down the fairway - all approximately 200-210 yards. I was sold. I can't ask for anything more in a fairway wood. I have heard mixed things about Nike clubs, but at least with a 3-wood, I'm sold! I'm playing this afternoon and can't wait to use it on the course. If it performs as well on the fairway as it did at the range I plan to go back for the 5-wood! I'll report back soon.

Well, I played the new T-60 3-wood on the course yesterday. Only got in 9 holes before the lightening and downpour started (I'm in NJ). The T-60 was everything I hoped it would be. I used it on the tee for every par 4 and hit every fairway. I used it on the fairway of a long par 5 and made it to the green on my second shot. I'm heading back to the pro shop this weekend for the 5-wood.

I've read very good things with the T-60, glad you are enjoying it.

Nice, I just picked up the T-60 13* 3 wood on eBay ($140) a couple weeks ago. It's a solid club, I'm very happy with it.

glad your liking the nike, what did you think of the cleveland when you demoed it?

 

[Patlawman]

The Cleveland was OK. Nothing special but thats just me. It was the first one I eliminated. The balls were just not flying off the club they way I wanted them to. After I eliminated the Cleveland, I worked with the Ping, King Cobra and Nike and of those three the hits with the Nike were just the best I could have hoped for.
