I have always been a long hitter, but have never found a 3 wood I liked. I previously had an Adams Tight Lies, and most recently a Cleveland Launcher Titanium with a UST Irod shaft. I purchased this 3 wood with the UST V2 X-Stiff 75 gram shaft, with the club trimmed to 43". After hitting this club for one day, I'm sold. I was hitting this club long and straight with the exact mid trajectory I have been looking for. I was hitting this club as long as my buddy's drivers. The ball just seems to jump off this face. I bought this club to hit off the tee and being a larger clubhead it is great for. I have not yet tried this cluboff the fairway, however. I think I'll be trying the Viper Ti-460 Driver with the same shaft now, too!
