New Test results for Exotics woods & irons

eagle1997 · March 20, 2013

yep. pretty much what i thought would happen. and i only have the xcg-4!

a huge THANK YOU for providing what we here on golfwrx have been clamoring for: manufacturer robot testing with trackman-verified data to back up marketing claims. the only other step i could see you taking would be to install exactly the same shaft for a head-to-head comparison.

obviously, we are not robots, nor do we swing like robots, but at least this gives us, the consumers, a more informed point of view to determine our future purchases.

in my mind, robot trackman data > marketing. hopefully these test results translate into an increase in TEE sales. well done.

one question: where does the CB5 3w fall on this chart? i assume you tested that club as well?

Interesting. Would love to see CB4 and CB5 in the pecking order...

CB2 vs. 3/4/5? I want to upgrade but I LOVE my CB2

I also have a CB2. I'm getting rid of it in a week. It is ridiculously long, but I don't have any control with it. It's mainly because of the shaft, but I would hit that thing off the deck anywhere from 295 - 315. It's crazy, but I don't need distance with it. I want accuracy. So when I'd rather hit my driver off the tee, then I know it's time to look for something else.

Weird a company can build a great FW club, but not a driver to save their life?! The whole distance thing is played out.....long and wrong is not golf IMO.

It is interesting the 913 ball speeds are right in the middle of the pack, but the carry and spin were off. I wonder what shaft they used?

If you notice, they used the F and not the Fd. Because the F is designed for high spin, I'm sure that's why the spin numbers are high.

Overall, I think this is a great test that creates better controlled variables for testing clubs.
