Here's a look at the club Tursky tested...

Mines not a TOUR model but the RBZ is an outstanding stick! Mines a standard 17* RBZ.

Love this 3wd. I was lucky enough to make an albatross with it so I have to keep mine forever. I have a Rip Phenom 80 in it which was stock for the R11 s I believe at the time. That paired with the deep face made this thing a beast. I still think about getting it reshafted and throwing it back in the bag.

I have this 3 wood and it is an amazing club. Bomb it off the tee, from the fairway. Currently play a TM 16.5* but also thinking of reshafting the RBZ and putting it back in the rotation   Great club.

Longest 3 wood I ever played

I had the OG RBZ tour, cracked 4 faces before TM sent me a RBZ2 Tour and it is still in the bag now...Insanely long and forgiving...easily in the top 3 fairway woods I have ever played. Slightly behind the old Callaway Steelhead 4wd and Wilson Invex Ti 17 but ahead of my Big Bertha War Bird 3 wood, SonarTec SS-07 3wd and Founders Fresh Metal 3wd.

I still play the stage 2.  It’s as ugly as Hogan’s goat but you’ll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I just put a protopype 80x in my old RBZ Tour Spoon just for giggles.....  it may stay in the bag for certain courses with short par 4's (especially when its fairly dry/firm)

This club turned the 3w into a weapon on the course.  The only club I can remember that actually added significant distance over anything else I’d ever played.  The hybrids were awesome too.
