Dave, you should try the 3 wood. it is the goods, I’m questioning if i really need a driver the way i hit that thing, mostly don’t take driver out in the bag with no real ill effect on the game.

I got a Razrfit with a F1 motore in stiff fitted about 3 months ago, I tried all the usual suspects but this fella out performed them in distance and dispersion, in the end I trialed the RBZ and the Razrfit over a period of two weeks on the course, just reinforced my earlier thoughts that the Razrfit was a much better club for me, funnily enough I thought the Razrfit 3 wood was a dog compared to the RBZ 3 wood, so I went with the RBZ.

I have an old srixon 3 wood 13 degrees that Im loath t part with, its lowish ball flight specific for windy days, where I play its a windy links course A high 3 wood flight with any shjape on it will just turn into a hook or slice if its a fade or draw I hit that 200-210 thats enough and I nly se 2 or 3 times a round if that

Could have sold the 3 wood and recouped some money :-)

I finally gave my Razr Fit with the FujikuraF1 Motore Stiff Flex Shaft a run last week. After looking the goods on the range it took some getting used to on the course, mainly trying to work out the tee height compared to my last couple of drivers, but when I did connect it launched the ball magnificently. I am now going to try the draw setting as I do tend to fade the drives a little.

Ok the beast arrived on wednesday arvy was quickly shoved “into the shad” so missus didnt see it and I have had a couple of 9 hole tests with it what I love? accuracy in spades, very forgiving on mishits long – NO really, bout the same as most 10.5 drivers I have hit, Im not going to lie and say it rips it longer shaping the ball was easy which is huge for me as I havent been able to shape the 8.5 Im using BAR HOOKING IT OB and that aint shaping it at all fely heavy at adress but it took some getting used to but it felt great swining it. Its fitted with a pro launch axis blue 60 gram shaft I may take an inch of the butt end I liked it into the wind. I could hit a nice draw easily enough and hold a fade coming back the other way – our course has cross wins alllot so shaping is essential its really accurate thats what I like about it… sound wise I prefer a bit less noise, its q composite head but sounds more like a titanuim driver but its not too bad first comp tomorrow with it

Glad you’re liking it and it’s not a disaster!

I take risks buying gear not tried but I listen and read a bit too Like I said in the other thread “whats in our bag” I like the hobby side of golf, for me its not all about results and achieving cap goals I like the tinkering side of things going to try some shafts in this driver

The razr fit is a keeper. Its straight It just works a treat! If you need a fairway finder – try it

I thought a Stiff Aldila Rip has 2.8 torque and is suited to about 105mph swing. 2.8 is like a friggin cricket stump

I would look at a Razr fit 3 wood if I could afford it. But no, I had to buy a new driver shaft.

glad to hear you are enjoying the new driver dave. So you’re finding it much more forgiving than the ZL Encore? I am def keen to get the Razr Fit, particularly with the free 3W promotion they have on at the moment. I played with the Razr X Black in Canada and smashed it much straighter, hitting 70% fairways compared to about 40% with Encore. When i connect with the Encore I can carry it about 240-250, but can’t do regularly enough. Would much rather hit 70% and be 10-20mtr shorter. how much shorter are you with Razr compared to Enocre? I will be putting my ZL Encore on the bay for sale this week.
Cobra ZL Encore 10.5. |

probabaly 6-7 meters at most but accuracy was an issue at time and our course is links course with savage rough in the second cut the mishits on the razr are bloody good, I hit one on the heel and it still went 190 straight!! we have some narrow fairways too were accuracy is pso needed Im rapt with this driver and shaft works ok for me

Urgent advice needed gents. I’ve found a Razr Fit 10.5 within my budget (possibly) with the following info below. I remember someone here (Dave?) saying that the Razr Fits launch the ball either higher or lower than you expect based on loft, but which is it??? I was told by a pro that 9.5 is ideal for me based on my launch, but I have my 9.5 current driver set to closed which adds loft. It goes mid-high but not too balloony. However if I buy a 10.5 Razr Fit and set it up to avoid a slice, will it then go too high? I could attempt keeping it square and just using the heel weight at first, but if I close the face as well (dodgy swing) will it launch too high? I never buy stuff without demoing first but this and another club are so cheap compared to normal that I am tempted to take my chances! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Razr fit 10.5 deg driver My ss is 100-105mph and I am a slicer :-)

Any opinions on the Accra shaft dave?

Sadly someone else found it and bid on it and it went out of my price range. I was hoping to ninja it but it was not to be!

Get an 8.5, increase the loft by 1 which will close the face a little to help with your slice a bit & you’ll have your 9.5* loft you were recommended. Easy peasy!

Phil Mickelson agrees with you dave :-) Mickelson, who switched from a RAZR Hawk Tour driver to one of Callaway’s latest driver offerings on Tuesday, following a productive range session, averaged 298 yards off the tee for the week, including a 358-yard drive during the second round.

yeah hes got to stop copying me – Im getting sick of it!! I rang him last week and said get the Xtreme in the bag dood!! oddly I used to use the Odyssey xg #9 putter too - Geez he even has the same putting grip as me he spoke about the razr fit on the weekend being so forgiving he drove it long at Phoenix Open I played nine tonight and on 17 I had a slight tailwind – our 17 is 340 meters up a hill with kike fairway I have hit driver then a half 54 degree wedge from 60 meters out I have never driven it that far on our 17th I’m usually hitting 7 iron from 140 out this thing GOES and GOES!! Its so nice at adress also – its asking to be spanked
