Robobum
Money List Winner
Never been able to find a 3 wood that I liked and have rattled through all the manufacturers in search of the holy grail. Like most I am always in the pro shop if I'm at the club just holding and waggling any new stuff that comes in.
Clapped eyes on the new Nike offerings and immediately dismissed the square Machspeed offering as it just looked awful.
Was waggling the VR with a stiff Voodoo in it and the Pro said it was a demo so take it out for my round. It could do no wrong, very strong penetrating flight and good distance. What got me most was that it was almost impossible to get it to move off the straight with anything that resembled a half decent swing. It took a real thrash to get it to cut and that was a horrible thing out of the neck.
The hosel a little getting used to as it is larger than "normal" and being polished chrome does stand out at first.
The head, whilst beautiffuly clean in it's lines, is not a traditional shape as such, but it sits nicely behind the ball and instills a lot of confidence [in me]. Haven't bothered messing around with the various toe in/ out settings as it works nicely in the bog standard neutral poition for me.
Would mark this down as one to try for anyone looking at a fairway wood upgrade.
P.S The headcover is a nightmare to get back on!!
