• Alpha maraging face is stronger and harder than titanium – this allows for weight to be distributed to parts of the club head where it is needed most
• The lower-profile club head allows players to get the ball in the air more easily and consistently

• Club face is 15,000 pounds per square inch stronger than the original TriMetal fairway woods
• Unique CT-801 process produces a stronger and thinner club face which translates into longer and straighter shots
• Copper tungsten weights in the sole make for a larger, more forgiving sweet spot

Wow, these things have been out forever and no reviews. Not sure what to make of that? I have the Trimetall II 15 and 19 and I have been back and forth with them. They've come out of the bag a couple times, but they always seem to get back in. The low profile makes me a bit nervous off of the tee, but they are sweet off of the fairway. I don't use them in the rough either, they are a FAIRWAY wood only. True one trick ponies. But they get the ball in the air and they feel and sound really solid. They are a much better club than I used to give them credit for. You can pick them up for cheap now too, always a plus. I took the 5 wood out to make room for an extra wedge (you know, to score better), but then realized that my wedge play sucks. So the 5 wood is in the bag for awhile!

I think these are great for beginners. You can pick them up on E-bay for a buck plus postage with a $50.00 shaft in them. Great pop, easy to get airborne and cheap equals a great starter club.

I have a 21 degree trimetal and love it. picked it up in the used bin for about $20. It's great off the fairway and it's about as thin as a waffle so it cuts through the rough pretty nicely. Probably about the same thickness as today's mallet putters. Yes, it's a beginner club but as I'm testing other fairway woods, I'm finding it hard to replace.

Got a VT830 head and could not hit it to save my azz. I do much better with just about anything else.

12* tri metal hip steel w/ aldila nv 75-r
GREAT CLUB! awsome distance great of the deck but incredible as a driving club. i hit it about 210-220yds carry gets good role. awsome for long par fives after a not so stellar drive. the shaft along with the 12*give it a great low trajectory, which is great where i live because it's always windy. pured shots are great, just enough forgiveness to be agressive. very calm at adress, a little open imo, but that's just fine since i tend to pull agressive tee shots. beautiful, and pretty inexpensive, i bought it barely used with shaft and a nice winn grip for $45! give it a try

At one time these things sold like hot cakes, but I have never liked them or the way they hit.

I never liked these clubs, I had the original 3 wood and it went A MILE if I hit it right. Hitting it right is a big "if" and most of the time I couldn't get consistent with it.

I know what you mean. My 3 wood was an utter pig of the tee if you did not get the tee height just right. All too ofter I left the angels with sore backsides because I skyed it. Mind you, when you did get it right they went like a bomb.
