TM V-Steel
I have already posted a review earlier about this particular club, but now having played for 8 months with it I feel and can add a little more detail. When I first started using the TM V-Steel I was struggling slighty with most aspects of my game, but having worked hard at th practice range and with a lot of regular playing I have dropped to single figures for the first time ever. The V-steel;s are now by far the best fairway woods I have ever used. They are not The easiest hit but when you have built a consistent swing that you know you are able to repeat over and over these clubs really some into their own. At first I struggle to hit these clubs any great distance usually only hitting the 15* about 210 yards at a stretch, but now the ball really does fly of the face and is really workable, I find though that a draw is the easiest shaped shot to play but a fade can also be played without too much hassle. As i have said before these clubs do take time to work at but if you are prepared to be patient and you have a consistent swing you could do much worse than the V-Steel, I woul also add though that the TM fitted gripps are a bit slippery and fine but for not much money this can be easily sorted.

This is a follow up from an earlier review I entered on this club. As so many are often guilty of, I spoke before I knew what I was talking about. I have played...correction...tried to play with this club for the past year. I cannot hit it. It sets up way closed, and I top it like crazy. Traded it in today for $50 and bought a Nike T40...I hit that in the simulator at Golftown...on sale for $75 and I hit it straight down the fairway with a nice spread between 235 and 247...can't wait to see how that one works on the grass. Customer Service Didn't need it, so I guess the quality is good...paint chipped easily on the club head though. |

TM V Steel 5 wood with graphite stiff
I picked up a new V steel 5 wood relatively cheep off of ebay. I really do love this club. I don't hit it particularly long, maybe 210-215, but it has become my go-to club on par fives and even long par fours when I need to be straight. I find this club very easy to control. I also really like the look of the club. I generally don't like stock shafts but again I think this one works. But as with all Taylor Mades, the grip is garbage. Overall, I really love this club and am glad that I got it. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Callaway BB warbird |

16.5 degree 4 wood
First off, I am a 16-year old who has not played very much in the past two years. I have started practicing a good deal again in hopes of shooting in the 70's again. Part of this has been the search for the right clubs. My boss who is a head pro knew this, and he let me borrow his V steel for a round. The club is amazing. I have never clocked my driver speed, but I believe it is over 100 mph. I hit my 15 degree 3 wood 235-240 off the deck. I hit the 16.5 degree V Steel about 245. I noticed that for me the ball started out towards the right, then came back to dead center. Very accurate, not very forgiving. They will help you, but do not miss too much because you will lose some yardage. And at a 115 pounds, I need all the yardage I can get. Neverthless, after playing the club, I fell in love with it and it may just end up in my bag. Customer Service None used Similar Products Used: Ram Concept Low profile 15 and 18 degree woods. |

Taylor Made v Steel
I recently bought the V steel #3 15* with factory fitted stiff shaft. The first thing that drew me to the club was the small head and the setup behind the ball. It has taken me a good month at the range and several practice rounds to get the best out of it. From a low tee it is very poerful and I am hitting it as far as with any 3# I have ever it. But where I find I am getting the benefits is From the fairway, I find with the small head it gives me a lot of confidence of getting the ball in the air. I also find I can Hit the ball very straight from the ground with this club something I struggled with for a few seasons. So all in all I am pleased with the performance of the club, but would suggest high handicappers will struggle slighty with it due to the small head ( I like small headed clubs as I tend to concentatre more on making a good swing rather than relying on the forgiveness of a larger headed club.

V Steel 3 & 5 woods
Heard positive feedback regarding the V steel from my golf instructor, this forum and my buddy who hits them. I was really skeptical about how effective these clubs could be in the hands of a player that shoots in the 100's and struggles with woods in general. Decided to give these great looking 3 & 5 woods a try. After a couple months of practice, I am now a believer! These woods are amazing!! The factory regular flex shaft is a good match for my moderate 85mph swing speed. Balls leave the club face with a nice "click", and distances are quite good. These clubs really excel at hitting the ball of the deck. Just take a nice easy swing and let the club do the work! The 5 wood is especially easy to hit, and has become my "go to" club. Certainly there are other fine woods out there. For a "stock" club, the V Steel's ease of use, feel and looks are tough to beat. Give em a try and see what they can do for your game!

Taylor Made V-Steel 15 degree 3-Wood
Received my V-Steel 3-wood 2 weeks ago and I'd say that folks who don't consider this a "game improvement" club in addition to its performance applications are missing out. I normally hit a slight fade off the deck and tend to slice off the tee, and the V-Steel (combined with a few lessons) has helped me shave a solid 10 strokes off my game. Very forgiving on mis-hits, medium-flat trajectory and very confidence-inspiring at setup. Not quite as long as some other clubs I demo'd but I'm not a big hitter and this club finds the fairway on every shot. I demo'd the graphite shaft but settled (happily) on steel; felt the R-flex graphite was a little whippy. Easily worth the retail price but you can find this club new on ebay for around $150 in steel most any time. Customer Service Not used Similar Products Used: Mizuno Blue Rage, Adams TL2 |
