It's been a 906 all week. When Faldo said something about it being a new model I just shook my head and continued watching. It may be a different 906, but it's not the new proto he made it seem.

And Faldo steers us wrong again. He should concern himself with slaying dragons and defending England from the Saxons and leave the club stuff to us, the real experts.

I got this pic off the pgatour.com website yesterday. Definitely a 906! Just maybe not the 906F2...

I think the 906FZ could be legit!

I've played a 906F2 13* for a few years. Best Titleist fw IMO! But I thought the one Rory was hitting today looked like it had a deeper face. I would actually stand by that statement Posted Image haha

Older club...newest prototype!

I believe Rors hit 5 wood off #1 this morning.  It's definitely a 906, I only say that because JP put on a head cover on that club, where as the 3 wood gets "dog" headcover normally.. Unless he or I switched that around.

He just hit a 3 wood into 13. In the slow mo, it was definitely a 906 but not with the Pro95 he's used in the past. And his caddy put on a 910 head cover.

Are we sure it isn't some kind of prototype that they made look like the 906? I am hearing them say new 3 wood at least 5 times a round. I'd like to think they aren't dumb enough to keep saying that without checking...

Doesn't look like a 910. It definitely doesn't have the 910 shaft adapter. It's a standard hosel with an epoxied shaft.

I believe it's short for Fairway ballZ.  

Did somebody say he went 342 with a 6 year old fw?

I'm sure that's all that's missing, if only we had that 906FZ we could hit it just like Rory!

I know that taylormade shaves the faces of their woods to the USGA limit for their tour players. Titleist may have done that for Rory. That may explain the insane distances

Maybe he can just call it is "man stick" and be done with it. Either way some great shots with that new bomber.

Or it could just be where they are playing. everyones been hearing Faldo say new 3wd but nobodys picked up on the fact that they've been saying the ball is going at least 10% farther....

I never said that Rory doesn't hit the ball far. I was saying that shaving the face would help him hit it even further. For example, a kid on the golf team at Coastal went to the taylormade fitting center in Georgia. He got fitted to a driver and then they shaved the face which instantly added 15 plus yards.
