Tour Edge Exotics 3 Wood Review: Is It Worth It?

by

The original Tour Edge Exotics fairway wood really took the golf world by storm and brought attention to the entire Exotics line. We hopped on the Exotics bandwagon a few years back when we named the fairway wood the SirShanksAlot.com Golf Club Of The Year in 2005. Tour Edge has since launched their second Exotics fairway wood they and have even guaranteed it to be 20 yards longer than the original.

Titleist 910F 3 Wood: Specs, Fit, and Performance

by

In the world of golf equipment, technology is constantly evolving. But sometimes, a classic design, enhanced with smart features, can outperform the newest gadgets. The Titleist 910F 3 wood is a prime example. Released in 2011, this club might not be the latest model, but its adjustable SureFit technology and solid performance still hold up today. This review takes a closer look at the Titleist 910F 3 wood, exploring its strengths, ideal player profile, and where it fits into the current market. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or an aspiring amateur, this review will help you determine if this club is worth adding to your arsenal.

Key Takeaways

  • The Titleist 910F fairway wood offers impressive customization. Its SureFit Technology allows adjustments to loft, lie, and face angle, appealing to golfers who fine-tune their equipment for optimal performance.
  • The 910F’s compact clubface provides excellent control and workability but requires a consistent swing. Consider your skill level when deciding if this club suits your game. Less consistent players might prefer a more forgiving option.
  • The used market offers opportunities to acquire the 910F at a more accessible price point. Explore sites like 2nd Swing Golf and Golf Avenue. Factor in potential customization costs when budgeting.

Performance

Titleist 910F Fairway Wood ReviewIf you are into technology, then the Titleist 910F 15 degree fairway wood will not disappoint. The Titleist 910F utilizes Titleist SureFit Technology which allows you to adjust the hosel to sixteen different positions that change the loft and lie of the club. The SureFit technology allows you to alter your desired trajectory, spin rate and shot pattern.

Set in the standard, A-1 position, the club will provide a mid ball flight with better than average distance. The standard A-1 position is set at .5 degrees open, which will benefit anyone concerned with turning the ball over too much. Players can decrease loft by -.75 degrees or increase loft by as much as +1.5 degrees. Face angle can be set anywhere from 1.5 degrees open to 1.5 degrees closed. Finally, the lie angle can change from +1.5 degrees upright to -.75 degree flat. Cool adjustability!

Off center hits still feel good and solid, yet the results are less forgiving. The 910F allows players to really shape their shots. The smaller clubface makes the club a little less forgiving than some other clubs on the market. However, the adjusting features allow you to really pinpoint any desired distance gaps for a 15 degree fairway wood.

The Titleist 910F is more suited to lower handicap players looking to have more control over trajectory and shot shaping. Players who suffer from inconsistencies and struggle to control the ball (distance, direction and trajectory) may be better off with more of a game improvement fairway wood.

Overall, I would rate the performance of the Titleist 910F at an 8 out of 10.

Ping K15 Fairway Wood

The Ping K15 3 wood has a reputation for being incredibly forgiving. It’s popular among high-handicap golfers and anyone struggling with consistency. But does it live up to the hype? In this review, we’ll put the Ping K15 3 wood to the test, examining its performance and key features. We’ll explore its high MOI, heel weighting, and expansive sweet spot. Plus, we’ll discuss where to buy it and if it’s right for your game. Share your own K15 experiences in the comments below!

 

Performance

The Ping K15 3 wood is one of the friendliest fairway woods to hit. The K15 could be classified as a game improvement club, yet even low handicapped players will benefit from its forgiveness. The club produces a high launch angle and ball flight which is great for more carry – even from tight lies. With such a high trajectory the K15 produces minimal roll upon landing – which would allow a player to become more aggressive in from 200+ yards out. One negative to all this forgiveness and accuracy is the inability work the ball easily – both left and right and in terms f trajectory.

A low handicap player might experience a very minimal loss of distance with the K15 due to high launch and ball flight.  However, a high handicap player with inconsistent ball flight might increase distance by improving their accuracy with the K15. Personally, I am willing to give up a few yards for the accuracy the K15 offers. Overall, I rate the clubs performance at a 9 out of 10. It hits the ball high and straight, a recipe for lower scores.
