Summary:
I was a little hesitant about hybrid clubs since I historically haven't hit many of them well compared to the equivalent fairway wood or long iron (I used to carry a 2 iron). I tried Taylormade's rescue club and demoed the Cleveland Hi-Bore hybrids and just couldnt hit them well. That all changed when I was given the Callaway Heavenwood 3H as a gift. I replaced the shaft with a custom I-Rod graphite shaft and this club is the go to club in my bag. The 3H is a bit of a misnomer, since the ball has a trajectory of a strongly hit 2 iron or 5 wood. It has a great launch angle that achieves increasing trajectory so it cuts out the wind throughout 2/3s of its initial flight. It is not a club that is meant to be struck hard, like a 2, 3, or 4 irons. A smooth swing will out this club long and straight. I can hit this club with a lto of consistency in distance and trajectory out of rough, fairway or off the tee. The sole is designed to make this club very playable off most lies including hill or sloped lies (just make sure to swing smoothly and aim accordingly). I can carry this club consistently a good 225 yards off the fairway, which would break my back swinging if I tried with my old 2 and 3 irons. I can get a 230-235 yard tee shot, so it makes it ideal of tight fairways or short par 4s. The club is also very workable, especially when you want to hit high power fades or low punch draws. I am much more precise with this club than my fairway woods and my long irons. I am in the market for the 2H, since I like these hybrids better than my woods. I wouldn't recommend this club for people with very fast swing speeds, there are fairway woods and long irons better suited for quicker swings. Other than that, this club is clutch when you need a 200+ shot. They are a little pricey, but most hybrids in its bracket are, but you do get a quality club.

Customer Service:
Callaway usually has the best customer service, and did with my driver, but I didn't use them so far with this club. I went to Golf Galaxy for the reshafting, and they were great. Within 3 days, the club was back in my bag, and they let me try the shaft to make sure it was the right one.

Summary:
The look and feel of this hybrid suits me just fine. What i really like is the low penetrating trajectory that my swing produces with this club. i tried to get more loft out of it but that turned out to be a disaster. with a smooth even tempo swing it will carry around 225-235yrds at what seems like eye level though i know its higher and the roll gets me a few more yards. if i try to swing hard it gets ugly. the sound is nice and i find it easier to get off the deck if the grass isn't cut to tight. i will sometimes use it off the tee which adds another 10-20yrds counting to roll if all goes well.
