Cult classic 3 woods/underrated 3 woods


nogamejames

Recommended Posts

Original Taylormade RBZ. Even today, incredibly long 3 wood that never fails to surprise me. My next 3 wood may very well be the updated RBZ wood.

 

Played a whole summer without a driver because of this club. Maxed out at 340 (yes, it had a helping wind). Apparently my swing changed over the following winter and with the stock shaft, I was launching beach balls that fell out of the sky at about 260. Homemade shaft change resulted in the shaft snapping off inside the hosel. Club head is sitting in the office...contemplating paying for a professional replacement

I'm in no rush to complete mine. I've played 3 rounds without even thinking about needing a 3 wood. Right now I'm playing driver-2h-3i at the top of the bag. Hybrid is a 910h 17*, which I play 260-270. Considering dropping to 16.25*. 3 iron is 21*. Decisions decisions.

 

Keeping on topic, if you haven't tried the RBZ 3 wood you owe it to yourself to at least try it

I particularly like the M3. It's forgiving, long, and easy to elevate without being spinny. And it feels really good. I wouldn't call it cult classic though. The most cult classic woods are the baffler and '16 M2 and you have those.

Have recently picked up an I15 which I've been very please with.

 

The I15 was a great head, I loved the shape of it. Didn’t much care for the stock shaft though. :)
