Actually those are the more rounded shape in this poll.

This is round? Maybe I have been under a rock, but what else is available out there that is more pear shaped than these?

Good one but like you I already know the answer

I joke I joke my man, but yea i think I would have to say i like the look of modern faces with the rounded crown that looks less wide from face to backend. I still think that some people just have more confidence with some types vs the other types and that should be the leader factor besides the numbers and consistency. I like this question though!

I'd have to agree with Rfmadjr, the TSR2 is more of what I think of as pear shape.  

 

For sake of this poll, definitely round 

Ok lol.  I need some clarification.  First of all, I don't see an actual poll?  And, the TSR2 is much more rounded than the TSR3/Qi10 LS is it not?  Maybe the definition of pear shaped is up for debate here too haha.  

 

To me 

 

Pear Shaped (extreme to highlight the overall shape):

I dropped the reference to pear shape because it can be confusing so I’m using the term, modern shape or traditional

Sorry, I posted my last reply before you changed it.  Are we talking driver shapes?  Or the face?

Yea the TSR3 is what I understood as pear shaped if we are talking about top down pov. The TSR2 is what I would describe as more bulbous.

I guess that is the only way I have ever seen the words pear shaped used when describing a golf club.  So, was just confused.  I think he's asking about the face though.  I dunno.

Qi10, Qi10 LS, and TSR3 are pretty much the ideal shape to me.  

My buddy just put a Qi10 in his bag, and it looks really good behind the ball.

I'm not a fan of pear-shaped drivers. My first driver was a Callaway X460, which is more symmetric than pear-shaped, so that's always influenced my preferences. I like the shape of Callaway's drivers still (especially the LS versions), and I like Cobra's current shape (more triangular) as well. I'm currently playing Cobra Aerojet and I love how it looks at address.

 

Outside of the pear-shaped drivers, the only ones that bother me at address are really shallow, long drivers (think G430 10k).

 

If we're talking face shape, I have no strong preference. I'm only bothered if it's super shallow.

Driver:  Cobra Aerojet 9.0 (Mitsubishi Kai'li White 60S)

3 Wood: Callaway Rogue ST Max (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 65S)

5 Wood: Callaway Apex UW '21 (19°) (HZRDUS RDX Smoke Black 70g 5.5)

4-PW: Callaway Rogue ST Pro (Project X Rifle 105 6.0)

Wedges: Ping Glide 4.0 (50°10S, 54°12W, 58°6T)

Putter: Ping Anser 2023 (34.25")

Ball: Wilson Staff Model

Bag: Ping Hoofer Lite
