Description Club head features forged titanium 5-piece design
Hot face design with optimized internal weighting increases ball speed and launch angle for greater distance potential
Conforms with USGA rules
Purchased Callaway ERC 3 and 5 woods. Oustanding fairway woods. Weight balance is exceptional. Both woods have 1* closed face which makes noticeable difference on hits that should have sliced/faded. Working ball to the right is more difficult than the draw, but still exellent clubs.
I would say that you may lose 5% distance to the great big bertha II woods, but the ERC's "want" to hit straighter and more accurateley. Ball flight is very high; take caution in windy scenarios.
If you choose these clubs you should go EBAY ALL THE WAY! You can always find these woods in great condition for a fraction of the manufacturer cost.
Thank you Callaway and Golf Review!

Summary: Fantastic woods. I used to have the Hawkeye 4 wood but found the closed face caused unwanted hooks. The 16 degree 3 wood is great off the tee or turf. The 20 degree seven is even easier off the turf and easier and longer than a 3 iron. I was thinking of getting the 12.5 degree 3+ but am not sure if it will continue to conform to the rules regarding COR. The 16 degree 3 has no problem conforming, as the COR rules only apply to driving clubs, and the definition of a driving club is a club with a loft of 15 degrees or less.
Customer Service: Never had to use them

Model Reviewed: ERC II Driver and 3 Wood
Summary: Purchased the ERC II Driver 2 years ago when it came out relatively new and loved it when I hit it straight (my swing caused the errant shots). Notable longer than my Warbird driver. The 3 Wood is beautiful, clearly my favorite club in the bag. Very easy to hit 250+ and straight, more for the bigger hitter. You will love these clubs, especially the 3 wood. By them on eBaby and save a ton.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: ERC II , 3 & 5 wood
Summary: I have always been a long iron hitter out of necessity, as I could never hit my woods. The ERC 3 wood was the first, the driver followed and now the 5 wood. I have taken 10 strokes off my game. All are very forgiving and easy to hit.
Customer Service: They are beautiful clubs and I have never had any trouble with any of them. Super clubs!

Model Reviewed: ERC 5 wood
Summary: Recently bought this club during the Pan West sale. Mine was fitted with the System 50 regular graphite shaft. Took it to the driving range and hit a few balls. The feel was solid and the balls flew straight to 180 meter mark with nice trajectory. I'm not a hard hitter and hit the balls to 220 meters with my driver. Played with it on the course and got the same result. Awesome club. Easy to set up and the feel was so solid .At USD 178, I can't go wrong. Thinking of getting the 3 and 7 wood as well.
Customer Service: Pan West has serviced be well over the years.
