None I have heard mixed things about these clubs. I bought the 3 and 5 off ebay for a total of 250. The steel shafts really help me control shots. I had an orig. steelhead 5 wood, but went against what everyone was telling me. A lot of people favor the origs. The main difference I have found is that the +''s get the ball in the air quicker and higher of the deck. My fairway shots with the orig. would barely get off the ground. Now my 5 wood, and 3 wood which I could never hit off the deck, flies beautifully. I have experienced the hook when I over swing off the tee. There is something about these clubs which makes you want to crush it. It''s better to simply hit the ball like you hit any other club. The feel is great, the sound is great, and the distance is great. And there''s no threat that the club face might cave in like the Origs. Due to the paint job, the club is going to get ugly quick. Anytime I sky I ball I panic and look at the top of the club to see if I scuffed it. So far so good, but that won''t last. The Origs are good, but I like these better. Similar Products Used: None |

None I never thought I would actually write a review, but after months of trying many different clubs, I thought I would share what I''''ve learned. I find the original Steelhead fairway woods to be far superior to the Steelhead Plus fairway woods. The original Steelhead sets up very well off the fairway and inspires confidence. The Steelhead Plus seems to set up with the toe up and I found it very hard to hit the sweet spot. Whereas the original Steelhead is very forgiving, mis-hits with the Steelhead Plus result in pretty bad shots. My swing speed with the driver is between 95 and 100 mph. With respect to shafts, if you are going to go with the Steelhead Plus, get the regular flex shaft. I''''ve tried both the regular and the firm flex, and the regular is much more forgiving. On the other hand, if you are looking to buy an original Steelhead, stay away from the regular flex RCH99. It''''s pretty weak and the ball tends to balloon. Go with the RCH99 firm instead. Hope this helps. Customer Service Excellent. Similar Products Used: None |

None As a beginning golfer, I figured that I would use this club as my "driver". I am using the steel shafted model. I find it interesting when I am playing a partner with his $400 graphite wonder and I outdrive him. Best hits with this, has been 260 yards ......straight. I would strongly recommend this to a beginner as a "safe" driver........and you can really use it from the fairway quite easily. Very useful on long par 5''s. Similar Products Used: None |
