Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Landy: “I have the ZX 3 and 5 FW’s. The 3 is a rocket off the tee. Mid ball flight not high for a 3 wood. Also has the Fuji Speeder Evo VI. And I never use my 3 FW off the deck, only off the tee. As for the 5 FW it has a compact head and launches the ball nice and high without ballooning. I have the Fuji Speeder Evo V in this club, and it works great off the deck. Both feel and sound great, not load and feel the ball where it was struck on the face. I hope this helps. Stay safe.”
over7par: “They’re legit. I’ve played the ZX 3W, and 7W and the 3W was a monster for me. Shape of the clubhead looks great behind the ball, and it feels explosive and powerful. Full disclosure, I did just sell my 3W, and the 7W is still up for sale, but it wasn’t because their performances were bad. The 7W just doesn’t fit into my gapping well, and I purchased a TaylorMade Stealth Plus Rocket 3W at 13.5 degrees, and it just blew the 3W away. I needed the extra distance at that loft; otherwise, I was keeping the ZX 3W. The ZX was longer than TSi2 for me.”
minhjn: “Tried them all, and the ZX is my favorite 3 wood of the most recent offerings. The head is hot, and the ball flight and spin are perfect for my swing. I really like how much heel to toe camber there is on the face. The ZX beat out Epic Speed, SIM, and G425 LST.”
mortimer: “Game ZX 3 wood 15. As some said, it is a rocket off the tee. Mid launch, low spin. Not the most forgiving fairway in the market but overall a great club.”

The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.

Why three swings?

Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:

“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”

Collin Morikawa’s pre-Open equipment adjustments

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.

Three years later, Morikawa has once again changed his irons to deal with the unique Scottish turf.

Morikawa has been using TaylorMade P730 blade short irons (7-PW), P7MC mid irons (5-6) and a TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron with a cavity-back construction this year.

However, he switched into a new set of TaylorMade P7CB irons (5-PW) before finishing T4 at last week’s Genesis Scottish Open, to go along with his familiar “Proto” 4-iron. TaylorMade’s P7CB irons are the finalized versions of the “Proto” 4-iron that Morikawa has been using, except they remain unreleased to retail.

According to TaylorMade, Morikawa switched into a full set of the new P7CB irons to aid with turf interaction, just like he did prior to his 2021 Open victory.

Morikawa is honing in on his winning formula overseas.

Morikawa also has switched from his usual TaylorMade Qi10 5-wood to a lower-launching TaylorMade P790 3-iron equipped with a Project X HZRDUS 105 Hybrid shaft. The loft of the club has been bent down to 19 degrees.

TaylorMade says that Morikawa switched into the new driving iron In order to “have an option to hit something lower that will roll out in the fairways.”
