Titleist PT bore-through metal woods

[CKGuY914]

Does anyone have one of these? How are they? I am considering trying to find one through local golf shops. I've always carried a strong 3 wood (Callaway Strong 3, Taylor Made Tour Spoon) but I haven't decided between a 13 or 15 yet, any recommendations? thoughts? They are suppose to have a very boring trajectory (hence Pro Trajectory) so I thought a 15 might be just enough and would be easier to hit.

And can anyone recommend a shaft to put into these things?

Nothting too expensive for a poor college student though.

Lovely little woods mate. Not particularly easy to hit but very nice little club.

Whats your handicap/swing speed and ill try and help you with the shaft.

I was a 6 before I stopped playing 5 years ago, just recently played 9 holes for the 2nd time since 5 years and shot 38.

Not sure about my swing speed; I play Dynamic Gold S300 through all my irons and I have a regular flex Grafalloy Prolite reshafted into a Titleist 975D 7.5, with the long bore through on the Titleist the shaft feels like between S and X.

I am currently thinking about getting the PT 15, do you have any opinions as suppose to the PT 13?

went to Golfsmith today to inquire about shafts and I was measured at 93 MPH on my first cold swing without any warm ups at all

The TM spoon is hard to use, the shaft is a little wobbly.
Haven't used the Titleist PT, but me think you'd better stick with a 15 degrees, you'll get more control and precision over the 13.
About your swing speed, you're really in between regular and stiff. Look at is this way: if you're swinging 80% every time you're on the course (like every pro does), and occasionally want to power drive, you may only need a regular. Also, you need to look at the shaft bend point, and if you like better soft or firm tip. It's all a matter of taste.
If you don't plan to change your swing, you might want to try out a swing monitor, like the Vortex ones. Though it might get a little expensive....
Also, how long do you drive? 93 mph is around 230-240 yards.

BTW nice avatar

I hit my driver out there 280+ consistently without trying to smack it hard. My 7 iron flys 160 and I am always trying to go easy with the swing.

That's my girlfriend in my avatar.

Ha... Then you definitely need stiff shaft, no question about it.

Wow... you girl is nice. I was actually thinking she might be an HK actress, she has that Kelly Lin look

I have a PT 15 and I hit the ball plenty high with them. I have a 110-120 clubhead speed though. I, like you, am reshafting the club since I just picked it up on ebay.

I hope you didn't get a bore throu one because you can't reshaft those unless you get Titleist to do it specially for you.

Nope, midsize which is still much smaller then the 975F. Excellent feel.

I used a titleist PT-13 for a few years and just recently got rid of it. These clubs feel amazing WHEN you hit them solidly. I had a x-100 shaft in it and it was too "boardy" for me. I would consider putting a high launch shaft like a graffalloy blue if you are trying to stay relatively cheap. Just remember these are very hard to consistently hit solid, i am a 1 handicap and had to get rid of it because i wasn't consistently hitting it well. Its like the blade 3 wood!! When you hit it good it feels amazing, but when you don't it goes and feels like crap!!!!
