La Jolla Knife 9 reg.shaft

Summary:
Bought a 9 after seeing an advert and wow! , first time I tried one it was out of medium rough. It popped the ball out and flew straight at the green some 180 yds and hit the front and rolled on towards the flag. Its been in my bag now for two years and I wouldn't be without it. I recommended it to a friend who couldn't hit a fairway wood to save his life, he went through several brands of rescue clubs. Now he's consistently knocking these to 200yds, no problem. So impressed he went and bought the 3,5,and 11. He is so concerned about breaking the 9 he wants to buy another just in case they stop making them. One thing I would say is hit down on the ball from the middle of your stance. Another thing is they don't seem to work as well when the ground is very soft.

Mid knife 4, 21 degree

Summary:
What a great club. I have been playing the knife 9 wood (26 degree) and have had some great days with it. If I don't shift my weight properly and use my legs I tend to hook it badly with the 9 wood, but usually if my swing is okay the 9 wood performs well.

Anyway, I just recently tried the mid-knife 4 hybrid, even though I have been relatively unconvinced with the hybrids I have tried (Heavenwood, Orlimar were not great for me, Ping hybrids not too bad....all saw limited use). Well guess what, the mid-knife 4 (21*) is better than all of them. Solid feel on all but the worst swings, a nice tendency to go high and straight with maybe a small draw, and equally good from the rough and the tee. What more could you want from a club you can get on ebay for less than 25 bucks???

I actually like the mid-knife better than my 9 wood because it seems somewhat less closed (clubface), and like I said earlier, if I don't shift properly I will hit hooks....so far that hasn't happened with the mid-knife 4. I'm sure once the "honeymoon" period is over I will hit a bad shot or three, but as for now I am sold on great value and performance!!

Customer Service:
Not needed so far...well constructed and no problems.

La Jolla Knife 5 wood

Summary:
The best 5-wood I ever hit.

Wow this 5-wood is so long and dead straight, even from the rough.

If you want to reach par5s in two, this is your club.

I highly recommend the La Jolla Knife 5wood.

Customer Service:
Purchased it from rockbottomgolf (ebay) from $14 including shipping.

Great service.

La Jolla Knife 3 & 5 woods

Summary:
Just picked these up from rockbottomgolf for $30 each! Tried them out for the first time at the range last nite. Small head and fins on sole intimidated me. Topped the first four shots, them started hitting down and balls flew high and landed soft. Same distance as my old woods, but the difference is that these drop like parachutes instread of rolling to the distance.

Customer Service:
Excellent.

Tried Nike, Top Flite, Callaway. Too expensive for my game!

3 wood

Summary:
I got this club b/c i liked the weight and size of the head when i took a couple of swings in glofdom and it was dirt cheap on ebay (like $40 w/ shipping). It's not a bad club but tuff to make clean contact with. I can hit it very well off the tee and out the rough but tend to just get on top of the ball when hitting the ball in the fairway and off the mats @ the range. I never had this problem with my old three wood which makes me think the rueters on the sole of the knife tend to keep the club higher than it should be. If you spend a lot of time in the rough and tee up your 3 wood often, this might be the club for you. Personally i'm in the market for something new, Sonartec maybe..
