-Better players gain 17 yards, see what you’ll gain
-Speed Pocket in the sole boosts ball speed dramatically for more distance
-Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower CG to promote higher launch for more distance
-Low / forward CG for high launch and low spin
-Lightweight shaft and grip promotes faster swing speed for more distance
-White crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top
The technology in our new RocketBallz fairway woods boosts clubface COR to a place we haven’t come close to before, promoting an immense increase in distance. It’s an absolute breakthrough. – Dr. Benoit Vincent TMag Chief Technical Officer
For the Tour FWY Woods-
-Speed Pocket in the sole boosts ball speed dramatically for more distance
-Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower CG to promote higher launch for more distance
-Exceptionally large, deep face and high-MOI head for easy launch
-Slightly heavier shaft for accuracy and control
-White crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top
-Engineered compact head for a penetrating trajectory and neutral flight bias with heavier/stiffer shaft for more stability
Tour pros and skilled players often reach for their 3-wood on the tee for added control. Those guys will be all over RocketBallz Tour fairways for the extra distance they promote. – Keith Sbarbaro TMag VP Tour Operations

Taylor made did not purchase Adams, the parent company Adiddas did they all fall under the Acushnet corporation now.

It tells me that Taylor Made are paying him a wheelbarrow load to play it … what does it tell you?

The Adams 3-wood blows this Rocketbalz away. I hit the Adams 245 yards uphill to a par 5 and got on the green in two…never had done anything like that previous…
Easiest 3-wood I’ve ever hit, it’s deadly long and accurate. TaylorMade is a marketing machine while Adams just keeps making better stuff.

Just proves again that Adams are on the cutting edge.TM have copied the VST concept without the slot on top. Try both, you’ll be amazed how much better the Adams is

It’s 44 inches long, right? Basically it’s a Driver.

Other considerations are that a tank heeatr has the advantage of a place for sediment and residue to lay, while a tankless will let anything get into your fixtures and potentially clog them.Also, if you heat your water with electric, you won’t want to get a tankless heeatr, they are inefficient and inconsistent with their hot water supply. In fact, the plumbing supply house I use refuses to sell electric tankless heeatrs.
