I picked up a double stamped tour issue RBZ 3 wood that had the smaller head and put it into play every now and then. It feels absolutely incredible and I swear I can feel the face flex at impact! The shape looks perfect at address, nice and compact, and it's huge off the tee. Trajectory off the ground is a little low but not unplayable. My only gripe is having to clean out the damn slot after every shot.

Oh yes. I've got a tour issue (slightly smaller head) Tour 3W, with Diamana Kai'li shaft, and it just continues to work so well for me, I don't ever bother to try anything else.

I have two of these heads as well, a 14.3 and a 12.8. Very small profile with flatter lie Angeles and straighter leading edge. Extremely low spin heads if your a good striker these are as good as it gets distance wise. Ballspeed is really high with these heads and I ageee deel is awesome. Very pricey when they first came out and definatley not a high handicap unit.

I dropped the 3 wood for a M2 tour 2017. I have the 5 wood still and it is a rocket launcher. LOL

I carry the Tour 14 for "everything you got" shots, but could easily carry the RBZ HL3 as my only fairway wood.

 

Still see a lot of them in play down here.

I dropped my Callaway GBB 3W and went back to the RBZ. It's more consistent and longer. I guess that's 6 or 7 years with it. I can't remember when they first came out but I bought one after trying it at a demo day shortly after they were first released.

Just curious if anyone is still gaming the original RBZ 3 wood and if you have any comparisons to current 3 woods. I got rid of mine and I think I want it back!

 

Lol I did the same thing but it was such a good club. But then you pick up any new TM wood and your like "oh, its exactly the same" that what I did last year

Waiting for jonesy to sing praise on his rbz 5w

 

I'm here! Between the 5 wood and the MP H4 I don't know which I talk up more... Almost SLDR C worthy levels....

 

As BearQ mentioned, the OG tour 5 wood is my weapon of choice, no need for the 3, the 5 goes far enough, it feels great, its pretty forgiving, I can hit it out of pretty much any lie, off the box it's a monster and it's not leaving the bag any time soon.

 

That pretty much covers it.

Just pulled my 3HL out of the bag. Honestly its a rocket when I get a hold of it well, and its awesome off the tee. I just struggle with it off the fairway and had to go with something more compact (obviously user error, not the clubs fault). It's still lurking in the basement if I ever decide to throw it back in the bag

Still use the 3, my safe club on tight fairway or short par 4 tee shots, and its a rocket. I've tried to replace it and haven't found anything that can. I'm not one to go looking at aftermarket upgrade shafts so I'm sure I could find a configuration that will beat it (possibly even a stock Rogue), but at what cost? Plus, it works for me and I can't put a price on confidence. Even started a thread last week about buying the same 5w and ended up pulling the trigger on one, to be delivered this week. I'm even considering buying up a few matrix ozik xcon 5 shafts that are out there as a backup.
