Scott/Avon, IN

Yes, I am right handed

I'd love to try out either the 3 wood – 14* - MRC Tensei CK Blue 70 gram X-Stiff, or the hybrid 18* - Recoil ES 95 F5 X-Stiff.

Currently playing to about a 12, don't have an official handicap. 

I currently play a P790 UDI. Have been debating on a new fairway wood or hybrid, so either would be awesome to test. Looking for something that is a little easier to hit off the deck. Currently have a Callaway Diablo 3wood as well, so have been thinking about upgrading that.

What works best for your long game?  Do you prefer to go for the gusto with fairway woods, or perhaps seek the control of a driving iron, maybe the forgiveness provided by hybrids?  Well the Ben Hogan Golf Company has options available in all three categories.

This may very well be the largest forum test ever conducted on the internet.  Can you say MEGA TESTING?

We’re going to give 15 of you a chance to test one of these in the category you choose, no that’s not a misprint.  Fifteen forum members will get a chance to test a GS3 Fairway wood, UHI driving iron or a VKTR+ hybrid.

18 Handicap

I currently play a 3 hybrid and have tried a lot of the newer driving irons/utilities trying to find the right gap in my bag.  I will hit my 4 iron off of the tee a lot, which I carry around 200 but want a better tee club.

[JPizza]

I have the Ben Hogan utility hi 3, and love this off the tee. BH set it up for me at 19 degrees. So I degree weak. Off the tee I can launch it 235. I can work it left or right and my miss is a low hook. I like it on tight par 4s and long par 3s. I can grip up and make it a 215 club. I need to practice more to hit it high off the fairway, but really like this iron. This iron feels so great! Only thing I had my friend try it and he slammed it better than me...
