You're going to love the rbz 3hl mine is so reliable.
When you get the 3 wood and hybrid, order the 3hl with the RIP phenom and the hybrid with the rescue 11 shafts. Much higher quality as far as stock shafts go.

I hit it today when i was at a club fitting and it always went the same direction. It was great. The guy that fit me for everything was saying the same thing about the shafts, wish i already had my rescue with the stiff one. The phenom fits me almost perfectly too so i was thinking about doing that also, might try some other before i buy it though. They werent even supposed the make the 3hl in left hand but i messaged one of the TM reps and he said they can do it anyways.

[J_D]

My 3hl is as long as my friend's 15 degree woods, nothing insane like the 13 and 15 RBZ was going, but very in control and reliable.

[Mikey K]

I like the length gain with RBZ because i was fine with the length in my previous, lower lofted, 3 wood but it is now able to be more controllable and might even be a little bit longer than the R11.

Shot a 79 today at a hard course because of the driver.

Nice Stuff! It's just weird seeing as your setup is so similar to mine! I'm a 15 yr old lefty, a 9 Handicap, have RBZ Driver, SM2 Wedges, TMade Irons, a 33" putter, I have pretty much the exact same distances as you, and I'm looking to get a RBZ in 3HL. If it's possible that you could tell me how you were able to get one or give the reps email or something that would be great!
Thanks and hit 'em straight!,

Theyre ll really great clubs but my irons are getting outdated and they were pretty much worn out the first 2 months ive had them from the amount of balls i hit so they dont spin back enough anymore. I am also talking to a rep about them making one for a custom order since they have some made for tour guys but i dont know when it will be done, but ill keep posted on that.

Yeah we're pretty good we won 6 straight titles and go pretty far in states and regionals but we came in 2nd this year because we lost our last 2 matches. I could be a 6 at Norton who plays at TPC but i would rather not switch schools. Hahaa

Hahhaa im really trying to get save up my money for new irons but its hard not buying everything that costs less before it

Very nice setup, Mikey. I like all the pictures of the "accessories". I bet you have a favorite tee or ball marker. I know that if I am having a bad putting day, I replace my ball marker and switch to a different divot tool. Nice job! Drink all your milk!! j/k

Thanks! And the coin on top of towel in that picture is the first euro i every got from Ireland (I'm 75% and my dad was born in Ireland and is 100%) and is my favorite marker to this day, I use it if i ever miss a short putt i go and mark it with that. I love milk by the way don't see why anyone would ever leave a drop in the cup.

UPDATED WITH A SWING VIDEO. Not the best quality i will be doing a new one once the weather clears up and i go to the range.

[Mikey K]

So I talked to my instructor today and since the academy that he teaches me at is fully sponsored by PING (most fitting for ping clubs in the nation for 2011), he said that he will be able to get me fully fitted and customized clubs as long as I'm up for it. So heres what i was thinking (I tried this in photoshop) Also i might swap the white for black instead i don't know yet.

Either S56 4-PW or i20 4-PW

S56's are very solid. I'd definitely take them over I20's.. Which I did...

That's what i've been hearing. I also love the look of them from every angle so im pretty confident with them. Off to hit a few thousand balls with them today.

[sncgolf03]

May be better off with the i20s or maybe a combo of the 2

Hit a couple thousand balls over the weekend with demo clubs but i went out today and got fully fit for a pair of irons and customized them. I will post pictured of what they are and what the specs are once i get them.

[sncgolf03]

It was down to 5 clubs, the S56, i20, AP2, TM MC, and MP59's. I fully customized them also, I will show you which setup i chose once they get here.
