Great player's club. I am playing the 15 degree with a Fujikura Tour Release 26.3 S flex. Not easy to hit, or very forgiving, but center contact is awarded by very nice distance, trajectory, and sound. Off center hits travel 200+ for me, but I defintely get feedback from the club by the sound and feel of the off center hit. Sit's well, slightly closed as with most of TM's woods prior to the R5 release. Stock shaft stinks, you basically paying for the head. Read some other reviews...how can people criticize a club for topping or fatting shots. It's not the club that tops and fats. In summary, good player's club.

This fairway metal has one hot face. I have driven over 300 yards with it more than one occasion. It is not really forgiving, keep in mind. The stock graphite shaft is not a real winner. I had a harrison striper j 80 put in to match my driver, and the feel and accuracy is much improved now. Stock shaft was too whippy. The stock grip is also poor. The clubhead's super hot face saves this club from a poor review.

I am a fairway metal junkie. I try to find any excuse to use them. With a lot of backspin, but with 100 mph+ swing, I would much rather use 2 wood teed low than a driver. I have tried just about all the good fairway woods out there. I have to say that Taylormade and Sonatec are the only two I would consider putting it in my bag. These two company clubs are both forgiving, long, workable, and straight. I just happens to like keeping my money in the wallet. So, naturally I chose v-steel in steel stiff. The graphite is just too much hoopla for nothing in my opinion in anything more than 2 wood. Accuarcy and not distance counts after 2 wood. I found no graphite that can equal to steel in accuarcy. I lose 15 yards forward, but I gain that much back in left to right control. Going back to the head - V Steel like Sonatec makes you feel like the sweet spot is much bigger than any other woods. What's better is that the V shaped sole let you dig in to the turf even on a buried ball. It's like same idea as grinding to get low bounce wedges. Less sole material means more dig, but also sole is also directional. It will pull you back toward where your body was aiming at. I use to like TM 200 more at the range, but, after few rounds, I see the benefit of the V sole. Chipping on the paint has not been much of issue for me. I rarely tee up the ball enough that can be an issue. After 6 month, I have flattened face again just like my last TM 200, but paint job look great. I will probably send the wood back to TM for after service replacement again! There a way to keep a wood looking new. Oh, give a nwe Tours Edge a try. It's a great club, but $345 for a no name company? Come now.

9 out of 10. I get a new club, but no new head cover. Callaway send you a new head cover and even a return label.

I noticed a previous reviewer commented on the fact that these clubs do mark up & chip easily. I hit my 4 wood about 5 times & noticed it chipped easily. Then I purchased the Tour Spoon , and skied ONE shot and it scratched the paint right down to the bare metal. ONE SHOT !! I do love these clubs , but now I have to apply touch-up paint every few rounds because of how easliy these clubs scar up. Tee 'em WAY DOWN. I have played golf for 14 years & owned just about everything on the market , but these clubs do mark up very easliy. To the most recent reviewer : you will experience this , the more you use your V-Steel. Cheers All !

Very consistent and really easy to hit they give you great ball flight and loads of yards I personally use an very strong steel shaft in mine and it sits beutifully at address

Like others on this site, I got the 4 as compromise 3/4 wood. I liked it so much that I will buy a 13 degrees tour spoon also. These are truely great clubs all you heard is true. I did not even tried the stock shaft for a minute, I had it immediately reshafted with a grafalloy blue and ... what a combo! To die for. I cannot rember when I hit an easier fairway wood and long too. By the way, that guy who topped it (and that complained that the paint chips easily)...how the heck did he do that??

Based on previous review of the TM V-Steel 4 wood , I decided to purchase the Tour Spoon as well (13*). This club is an absolute joy to hit. Tee it down with with a broken tee on your short par 4's , and this club will not only position the ball where you aim the club , but it is LONG too. Nice , sharp 'crack' sound at impact. The steel shaft gives me lots of control. This is one of the nicest clubs I have hit in my 13 years of playing golf.

This club surprised me a lot. I bought it as a compromise between a 3 & 5 wood , so that I could carry a 2 iron. I have the DG stiff shaft in my 4 wood. This club is very east to hit , and I am getting approx. 220-240 yds. out of it. It makes a very sharp 'crack' sound at impact , and is very easy to hit a draw , fade , etc. At this point , I think Taylor Made is missing the boat by not making a driver with this design. I would buy one tomorrow.

After using the V Steel for a year I think this club is one of the better fairway woods on the market. Well at least it works for me. I hate myself for being an equipment nut, but for the number of drivers I have, I'm pretty much satisfied with my V Steel. Upon reading good reviews about the Mizuno MP-001, I went out and purchased a 3 wood, but I would have to say that the V Steel is a much better deal. First of all, I feel very comfortable when addressing the ball in the fairway. Its hard to say how forgiving the club is. You hit to the right and it'll go to the right. Hit it off center, might loose some distance. But I like the feel and sound of the V Steel when you hit it nice and smooth. Just one comment, I don't know how some reviewers can rate the V Steel a "1" and claim it to be a lousy club when they're toping the ball. He might as well put a dead rat on the club face and it wouldn't make a difference. Maybe not for everybody, but I love it. But being stupid as I am, I'd be tempted to buy something else again.
