Summary: Nice club. Easy to pick the ball from the fairway. I have the RCH 75 regular graphite shaft and it's a little too whippy so I need to swing smoothly. If you have a fast swing, go for the firm shaft ...
Customer Service: Didnt use it, but I know that Callaway stands behind their product like no other.

Summary: My last review was in Sept.2006, I've been playing with this club since then (after reshafting with Grafalloy Blue ProLaunch) and I am really enjoying this club (I have to admit that Callaway stock shaft did not work for me). Off the Tee I could hit 200-210 yds with very good ball dispersion. I am not a long hitter so I have to reply on playing smart and accuracy. This Callaway club is as good as any 3-wood club out there, IMO, if not better... I also bent my X-16 Callaway irons to 2-degree upright and they make a HUGE difference in my game. I am consistently shooting in the 87-92 now, so hopefully I will be playing much better by the end of this season
Customer Service: No one is better than Callaway in terms of customer service... Period !!!
Summary: I am not a very long hitter, shooting in the 87-95 range which is Ok with me. I have a 15-degree 3-wood that came with the Callaway R-flex stock graphite shaft. I liked it but I had to compensate too much when I used it (it's not the club, it's my swing), i.e. I had to slightly close the club face with a strong grip and aimed left with the hope that the ball will land on the fairway (it works 75% of the time). I had it reshafted with the R-flex Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue and it sure made a big difference, I hit it at least as long as before , but more importantly now I have a "square" set up and "neutral" grip which I feel a lot more comfortable with... The ball now has a much better flight because I don't have to close the club face... With time, I am pretty sure that I would enjoy this club a lot more. In fact, I like the Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue shaft so much I am going to reshaft my Callaway Titanium 2004 360cc driver with it, hopefully my game would be more consistent... I think the Grafalloy Prolaunch has a 2.8 low torque
Customer Service: Callaway customer service department is the best. I would rate it A+++++ . I buy Callaway golf clubs due to its customer service department. Callaway will bend backward to work with customers. This is the model that other companies should use as benchmark

Summary: bought it from callaway preowned in very good condition(it was). Know that it's in reality a 5wood. Played it in rough, in fairway, off the tee, and with uneven lies. I found it easy to hit, which is a bit surprising since fairway woods have always given me inconsistent results. The key, I believe, is the very high trajectory. My big bertha 2004 3 iron is 20 degrees vs. this one at 21 but the difference in initial ball flight elevation is huge.
The club is a regular graphite shaft and is a keeper.

Summary: bought it to replace my one iron...i know, i know...anyway hated it....hooked it really bad....kept playing started hating it more....but noticed that the grip (o.e.m. callaway) had some gay ridge running the length of the grip spine...took it in and replaced it with a golf pride v-55 full cord.....ball flight is now used to align and calibrate lasers for nasa....pays pretty good...definitely my favorite club in the bag....3 inch rough move over callaways going to town....i have one par 5 on my home course that i love....i have hit this green in two with this 3 wood more times than not...my closest being a 255 yard shot to a back left pin that I stuck to within 6 feet with just a baby draw...yeah this club has a permanent home for sure...no i did not make the putt but that's becausei I SUCK....
Customer Service: get rid of the gay grip and its golden
