bens197 6,750 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I've mentioned on a couple threads that I have been struggling with my fairway woods. So far I've received a lot of good feedback including: go for a 4 wood, try the DHY SIM, don't rule out a hybrid in lieu of a fairway wood. Now that my back is feeling better I decided to go in today and make an appointment. I'll go in two weeks and I am walking in brand agnostic. I'll send some updates when the time comes. 8 Quote PING G400 LST 8.5 Evenflow Black 65g 6.5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Diamana FW 75 S Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Ben Hogan PTx Combo Nippon Modus 3 120S TaylorMade MG2 TW 56 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120S Bettinardi BB8 Wide Oncore Elixr Western, NY 5.7 Index Link to post Share on other sites

This won't reach BergRyman status but I feel pretty cool being able to share the experience...besides, the reward is a new club so, win win right? I'm hoping to get a couple swings with the new Tensei Orange Raw to see how that plays / feels.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy It was really nice to see all the new offerings...best part is I really have no plan walking into this besides finding a club that gets me 240-250 yards. Now I just hope the time flies by a little quicker 1 Quote PING G400 LST 8.5 Evenflow Black 65g 6.5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Diamana FW 75 S Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Ben Hogan PTx Combo Nippon Modus 3 120S TaylorMade MG2 TW 56 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120S Bettinardi BB8 Wide Oncore Elixr Western, NY 5.7 Index Link to post Share on other sites

bens197 6,750 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 We have a winner... It came down to the Callaway Mavrik and the SIM2 Titanium. What I will say in short order is that the SIM2 may just be the fairway wood that keeps fairway woods my bag. Spin, launch, feel, flight and carry all hit the numbers for me. The Mavrik felt great and was so easy to hit straight but that is also a byproduct of the spin; the RPM's on this head were easily 1000-1300 higher than the SIM2. I really really loved the aesthetic of the SIM2 and I believe that had a huge role in me having some confidence in hitting this off the deck. I ended up going with last years' Diamana FW75 stock in a stiff flex. The video is the Mavrik I'm happy...this was a great experience... 5 Quote PING G400 LST 8.5 Evenflow Black 65g 6.5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Diamana FW 75 S Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Ben Hogan PTx Combo Nippon Modus 3 120S TaylorMade MG2 TW 56 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120S Bettinardi BB8 Wide Oncore Elixr Western, NY 5.7 Index Link to post Share on other sites
