"Junk" Woods

Posted by: user42761 | Thu 18th Jan 2007 11:29 | Last Reply

This is mixing  me up as regards "Quality Woods", I have just upgraded my irons to Callaway, and they are really good and have improved my game alot. I have been spending a great deal of time on the range with my 3 and 5 woods, these are what came with my first set of clubs and bag, the whole lot was �130 and.......dont laugh they have the name: KENO on them, so each wood cant be worth more than about �10, I would think, now having had a lot of coaching on the range, using these woods I feel I really have got the hang of them, and yesterday off the Tee I drove with the 5 Wood 235yrds straight ,and against a strong wind, coming back the other way I drove again off the Tee about 245yrds with the wind. I have been thinking about upgrading these two woods but alongside other guys that have spent �120 on one wood with a good name and graphite shaft I am getting the same distance, and my coach said that its a good distance for those clubs. So I have to question just how much better are "Good Name" woods that cost �120 upwards.
    Any thoughts on this guys.

Try an MD club. I have a 3 and 5 wood, super strong. �60 each. Come with lamkin crossline grips, and grafalloy prolaunch blue shafts. The same spec as ping woods, for half the price. They do a driver too, which I wouldn't mind trying.

I've just bought one Chris.

Reduced to �19.99, from �79. If its like the fairway woods, you cant go wrong. The reason its so cheap, is the latest model is out now.

�89.99.

tried out the new driver today, on the range. Went like a dream. Although, it doesn't make a nice pinging noise. That said, I was still hitting the back fence
