NVG2 3 Wood + 12.5 Degree Reg Flex
I love this club and often use it instead of my driver, especially in high wind conditions. Ball flight is nice and low with excellent roll. You can hit with this club equally well off a (low) tee or the ground, and I frequently use it in place of a long iron, even if i'm in light rough. Very pleased with the performance, very pleased with the price, could not ask for more. |

I have the stiff flex 15 degree 3 wood and the regular flex 19 degree 5 wood. This were the options left in the shop. (I actually preferred the stiff flex 3 wood for a second driver.)
Customer Service Nevada Bob's Belfast was doing a great deal for 50 pounds a wood on these clubs. I had read great reviews on this site and in magazines when they came out and thought I would go for it. I was not offered their driving range distance/flightscope facility but these were easy to hit and I could feel it slinging off the clubface. Again the cautionary warning about using a stiffer shaft on the three wood, but it worked out well. It can be a bit unnerving if you are newbie but if you know your specs, its best to stick with them rather than regret later.
Similar Products Used: 3wd: King Cobra R speed stiff shaft, EZhit Jack Nicklaus reg shaft. Both could not compare with the mix of off the tee distance/fairway ease of hitting.

My wood is 15 degrees loft and is fitted with a regular flex Fujikura Triple Action Shaft. This is a "first impressions" review based on 2 hours of range testing off a mat that was in very good condition with quality 2 piece Srixon practice balls. I bought this wood because of their reputation for easy launching. I was not disappointed. It was very easy to hit launch off what could be considered a tight lie. My club has a draw bias and I found that it straighted out the fade I get when playing a fairway wood off the deck. As the face is so shallow and the rubber tee pegs at my driving range are quite tall I did not want to risk damaging the crown by skying it. Off the deck the trajectory was penetrating with no hit of ballooning. Previous reviewers have suggested that this shaft plays softer than its stated flex. This is not my experience based on hitting 200 balls. I have a driver swing speed of about 90 mph and and I neither hit it too high or hook it left.

NVG2 #3 wood
Just picked this up on Ebay for $50, like new... with V2 S flex shaft. This is the best 3 wood I have hit, in terms of accuracy, length, ease of play. A great alternative off the tee on those short or narrow par 4's. A great stick at a steal of a price! Customer Service NA Similar Products Used: Most everything. Cobra SZ is the stick this replaced. Sonartec is also nice, but not as easy to control. |

Mactec NVG fairway
the very deepest fairway wood i've ever hit in my life. The design of the club is extremely similar to the tour edge exotics fairway woods which claim to be the longest fairway woods ever made. Ive never hit those woods because they're extremely over-priced, and i cant see how they could build a club that hits the ball farther than this. I hit the 3 wood a couple times and i hit it about 250. my average solid drive goes about 275, so its a great club to have when you need acuracy and distance. Love the Club! Customer Service nope Similar Products Used: ive hit just about every fairway wood on the market |

NVG2 15 degree & 25 degree fairway woods
MacGregor has engineered a gem of a fairway wood(s). I made the change this summer and have had very favorable results. The "cup face" is not a gimmick; really does expand the sweet spot. The club has a very shallow face, much like an Adams "rescue" type, so if you tee it up make sure that it's low. Out of clean lie in the fairway, it turns into a cannon. Nice impact sound too! The best feature is that you can actually work the ball, and it has forgiveness unless you hit too high on the ball. I love the 3Wood so much, I ditched by 3-iron for the 9W. I'm over 45,and just can't hit long irons like the "old days," so why fight it? The 9W produces a nice flight with enough spin to hold even the hardest summer greens. 3W goes around 225 - 230 (with roll) on a normal fluid swing. The 9W (25 degrees) goes around 185 - 190 and lands soft as a feather. BTW, some of my younger golfing buddies laughed at the 9W until they tried it. Don't let pride get in the way. MacGregor also makes a 7W and 5W lofts. For the money, you will not be disappointed. Customer Service Not needed so far. Similar Products Used: Taylor-Made, Nicklaus |
