Crown Jewel Fairway 5W

Summary:
The CJ Fairway woods are very easy to hit. The 18* 5W is very traditional looking with a medium face height. Mine is assembled with True Temper Lite XL steel shaft in stiff flex. It is 42.25", D4 and 270cpms.

This is a real go to club for a 200-210 yard shot. Off the tee or out of the rough it's a club you can count on.

As others have commented on the fit and finish on this as well as other ZT clubs is as good as it gets. If you like graphite try the XLT70 series shaft mid kick very high quality shaft that astetically matches the deep blue head which is an added bonus.

Bottom line it's hard to go wrong with this wood.

CJ Fairway

Summary:
Purchased CJ FW 3/5/7 woods and installed DGLiteS300 on the 3 and DGS300 on the 5/7.

Fit and finish on the heads were beautiful, the deep blue paint very attractive and classy. Headcovers were a touch gaudy though. Lie angles seemed fine for my 5'8" frame, not upright as mentioned elsewhere. Face height on the 3wood was 35mm, just tall enough to be effective from the tee but still maintain a low center of gravity. The 5/7 woods were around 33mm, not too shallow.

I have a typical driver swing of around 100mph. The 3 wood was my favorite of the bunch though the 5/7 performed well. Trajectory is on the high side for all three and forgiveness is good though not outstanding. Despite the smaller head, I find my KZG 3 wood to be a tad more forgiving. Consistency of the ZT woods was very good, no unexpected high rights.

Customer Service:
John is very easy to deal with.

CJ Fairway 15*

Summary:
I tested a 15* model with a 43.5" Zero Tolerance XLT70 S-flex shaft.
As with the other entries in the new ZT line, the clubs looks fantastic.
It sets up very well. The club head is just about the right size for me.
I feel like I can both hit it off the turf and the tee with ease. I use a
3W mostly off the tee with only very rare fairway shots.

In just swinging and feeling the club I was afraid that the S-flex shaft
was going to be too loose for me. It *seemed* very light and almost too
flexible as I got a feel for it.

However, that feeling did not translate into any difficulties as I was
initially hitting this club very well. In fact, I actually feel like I
need to "step on it" a little more to get the best swings out of it. When
swung well, I can feel a confident, controlled kick through the impact
zone that feels tremendous. This is the first ZT shaft I've used and
I think it's an outstanding product.

The club head is very forgiving. Like the ZT Maxima 300, I've noted a
fade tendency with this head. My best shots go very straight. I haven't
been able to consistently put much of a draw on my shots. Again, my
swing tendency with woods is a straight/fade shot so take that observation
with a grain of salt.

The club feels wonderful - a solid but almost soft/smooth feel on center
shots. I rarely hit hit pop-ups off the tee and the general ball flight
is just about right. I think I've been able to control trajectory more
with this club than just about any other wood I've hit.

The most outstanding characteristic has got to be in distance. My 3W for
the past several years has been a steel ZT Aero-Flo (13*) on a 44" Apollo
Balistik steel shaft. I am easily hitting longer with this 15* ZT CJ
Fairway wood on a 43.5" shaft! I was stunned as I fully expected to lose
distance. I would say I average 10-15 yards more on comparable shots with
the 15* CJ. I find that amazing! The ZT CJ is also much easier to hit off
of the turf.

The only negative note I can find - the paint/finish on this club does not
seem to be holding up nearly as well as the other clubs. The CJ has noticeable
markings from use. I don't think it's been treated any differently (they're in
the same bagand I always use headcovers) so I found that a little surprising.

Bottom line - the CJ Fairway is in the bag along with ZT

Customer Service:
Excellent. ZT has consistently provided the best personalized, top-notch service.

Zero Tolerance- Crown Jewel Fairway

Summary:
This review is for the Crown Jewel Fairway 3 Wood. I had this club made up with a True Temper Bi-Matrix Reg. Flex shaft and a Winn grip at about D-5 Swing weight. I was totally unprepared for what a treat this club turned out to be. Right out of the box it was Magic, I hit it so well from the first swing! It is a very handsome combo as well, the shaft and head colours complement each other ( deep Blue Metalic ) The feel, accuracy, forgivness, and length are super! I just cannot find anything to knock about this combo( the shaft is a little pricey, but worth it in my view ), I am in the process of getting the 5 & 7 wds. made up as well with the same components. About myself I am 49 yr., 5'11",and about 215lbs. swing speed is about 95-100 mph. I shoot in the 90's and am slowly but steadily improving( I believe the new woods will greatly assist me in my pursuit of the 80's )

Customer Service:
Service at golf west is always great, Terry and Mike are the Best!
