taylor made retro raylor 16 degree

Summary:
I play the 16 raylor as a replacement for a 3 wood. Its probably a little shorter than most 3 woods but it is easier to get in the air off the fairway and is far more versatile from the rough or uneven lies due to the rails and the small club head size. With other 3 woods I was getting too much distance and the gap between it and my driver was not enough to make it a good safe lay up club. The 16 degree raylor fits in nicely. Compared to today's 3 woods the raylor is distinguished by its small size and relatively deep face profile. This is basically an old school 3 wood with rails, a hotter club face and updated technology. I've had it in the bag for 3 years and have no plans to replace it. A great choice for better players but I wouldn't recommend it if you have trouble making good consistent contact with a 3 wood as the club head is quite small compared to most contemporary designs.

Summary:
I purchased the Taylor Made Raylor 19 degree golf club at Goof Town about two years ago and at first it was very hard to hit. However, being the nice guy I am I gave it more of a chance and soon enough it became the best golf club in my bag. In my opinion there is no other fairway club on the market that can compete with this club. Even though the club head is small, it still packs a punch. I hit this club 10-20 yards longer than any other fairway wood I have tested. I recommend this club to anyone with good swing fundamentals. If you don't have the previous, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CLUB AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HIT IT!!!

Retro Raylor 16 Degree

Summary:
Let me start by saying that I consider myself a very good golfer. I shoot under par a regular basis. However, I have never been able to play a fairway wood. That was until I purchased this Taylor Made Retro Raylor. This is the one and only fairway wood I have ever used and have been happy with. The face seems hotter than any other fairway wood on the market. Including the new X series by Callaway. This club has been part of my bag for almost five years now and it will remain there for many years to come.
