Summary:
My buddy let me have his Knife 9W after he "upgraded" to Cleveland hybrids. I liked the club so much that I bought the 3W and 5W off Ebay. I'm a beginner, so there's a lot of variation from one shot to the next. But, when I keep my head down and make a controlled, smooth swing, VERY good things happen.

Summary:
I've always had trouble with a long second shot. My swing isn't fast enough for a 3 or 4 iron and it's hard to hit a normal fairway wood out of the rough. I picked up this 7 wood for $20 on ebay and it was well worth it. Knowing how well it works I would have paid much more. This club is my staple 2nd shot. It hits great from any lie. I just picked up a 4 wood to help with par 5s.. hopefully it works out as well. I would suggest it to anyone.

Mid knife 4, 21 degree

Summary:
What a great club. I have been playing the knife 9 wood (26 degree) and have had some great days with it. If I don't shift my weight properly and use my legs I tend to hook it badly with the 9 wood, but usually if my swing is okay the 9 wood performs well.

Anyway, I just recently tried the mid-knife 4 hybrid, even though I have been relatively unconvinced with the hybrids I have tried (Heavenwood, Orlimar were not great for me, Ping hybrids not too bad....all saw limited use). Well guess what, the mid-knife 4 (21*) is better than all of them. Solid feel on all but the worst swings, a nice tendency to go high and straight with maybe a small draw, and equally good from the rough and the tee. What more could you want from a club you can get on ebay for less than 25 bucks???

I actually like the mid-knife better than my 9 wood because it seems somewhat less closed (clubface), and like I said earlier, if I don't shift properly I will hit hooks....so far that hasn't happened with the mid-knife 4. I'm sure once the "honeymoon" period is over I will hit a bad shot or three, but as for now I am sold on great value and performance!!

Not needed so far...well constructed and no problems.
