Was thinking of adding '11 Yamaha V 14* 3wood to the bag.

Anyone have any feedback on this club?

Thanks!

fantastic 3 wood.
soft as
medium bodied, not compact, not large.
workable if u need it. delivers a medium flight, its not a worm burner.
its pretty easy to hit form a fairway and great from a tee.

my fav all rounder in 3 woods.
ull get longer ones over all like the egg

or longer ones form a tee like the tour edge exotics
but over all it was my fav.

this one was a monster of the tee, i found it rather difficult to elevate
the time i was using mine some months ago. biggest regret is i sold it.
i suspect that the shaft i had was too light and throwing my timing off.

if i had my way id get one again and shaft it with a tour ad di shaft.
that would be an awesome all rounder

the 3 wood arrived yesterday and my impressions after today's round:

-the face is nice and compact with a good balance between not being deep or shallow
-impact feels crisp
-DJ8 shaft is nice and hefty but adds a bit more spin then the DI. almost perfect fairway shaft.
-very boring trajectory off the turf.

so far so good...

After 9 rounds, my impressions:

I've never hit a 3 wood this well. The head w/ DJ-8 combo is just a killer off the tee or fairway. Up until now I haven't found a 3 wood this accurate and long off the tee or turf.
The subtle twin rails on the sole really help "glide" the head off the turf...

DJ-8 has the perfect amount of weight for control and tempo. The trajectory is mid launch off the turf but just goes and goes and soars to its apex at the end due to the added spin of the DJ shaft.

Now the dilemma is whether to hit my driver or the spoon on sub 400 yard par 4...

Once again head/shaft amazing combo!

I am thinking about getting a V FW as well, do you find the 14 degree loft harder to hit it to the right traj?

also, should i upgrade on the stock tour ad MX-611F shaft?
