3 wood

Summary:
I had my 3 wood last year and it was my second 3 wood of my life. And this 3 wood is so good. Last day i hit a 300 yards tee shot and usually i hit around 280 yards. It is a very good golf club and very usefull for the tee shots if you have some problems with your driver. I dont have the fatboy driver but with all the good comments i will buy it. Actually i hit every tee shot with my 3 wood because i have a old callaway big bertha with a small head. So i will buy the fatboy driver soon. I recomed this club for all the golfers that want to increase their score!

Wilson Fatboy

Summary:
First of all i have read the other reviews and i have one thing to say to the others. SLICING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUB IT IS YOU. now for my review.

i bought a Fatboy driver 3 years ago and i love it. i liked it so much i bought the 3 wood and the 5 wood. i can hit the driver 300 on the fly pretty regularly and am rarely less than 5 to 10 yds behind friends with $300+ drivers on any given day. the 3 and 5 woods are great also. they take the ball of of the ground very well and allow me to control the shot well.

Model Reviewed:
Wilson Fatboy 427cc Driver

Summary:
I got this driver for christmas one year to get me out of junior clubs when I was 12 - at first it seemed great, bigger clubhead and whatnot, however, I started realizing the durability of the club wasn't great, and when I started getting stronger, the shaft didn't load properly for me, resulting in a slice most of the time unless I really tamed myself into swinging easy, which isn't great when you're playing competitive golf for your high school (I'm 15 now). So I saved up some cash, and bought a Titleist 905R with the nice stiff Graphite Design YS-6 shaft, as well as a 4 wood - 904F again from Titleist. great investment. anyway, in general, the fatboy driver is ok to start out with, but once you start getting better (12 handicap or below), you need to move on and get a driver that can perform for you. Apparently the fatboy is pretty cheap though, so I suppose that's a bonus

Wilson Fatboy 460cc Driver

Summary:
I bought this driver when i was a 21 handicap and i found that this driver helped increase my distance off the tee but it came at a price, i was always hitting out of the rough. This driver has given me a huge slice that i have never had before. Now i am a 15 handicap and i have found that the clubface is very beat up and there are alot of marks and scrapes on the bottom of the club. Also i have found that the sweet spot is dead and it has no pop. I wouldnt recommend this driver to the low handicapper but it is pretty good for just starting off. Also i wasnt too happy with the price of this driver($125) and it is not very durable.

Customer Service:
I havent had to deal with anyone from the wilson company.
