Shameless Plug/review of Haywood golf
Post Body

I recently bought a Haywood Golf, 3w, 3 driving iron, and signature irons 4-P and a 52 and 56.

Custom built to my specs with choice of grips, shafts, ferrules.

During the build of my new irons, one of their techs noticed the only club I did not select mid-size grips was a 56. He texted me to ask if that was by choice, or a mistake? Customer service? Yes, please.

The 3w is hot. Hot, hot. The only thing, I don't like is the hook face. 90% of the golf world will love it or wonder why their 3 wood is their new favorite club. It's not aggressive, I am just used to working with zero offset I fairway woods.

Driving Iron (3)- that may not be they way they describe it on their website. From the top, you can't see all the "pregnant back" -game improvement stuff. I haven't measured it, but it's 1-1.5 longer than a standard 3i.

Omg does it go! For those of you that remember, or could, hit a perfect 1-iron...this is it.

Irons. This is a game improvement iron that looks like a blade. Looks are subjective, but they are right there with TM, Titleist, etc. Personally, my new Haywood's are sexier.

I have played 3 rounds with them. The wind has been between 15-30 mph (spring in North Texas, iykyk).

They almost go too straight in the wind. Low spin, penetrating flight, big sweet spot...I'm telling you, if you play in the wind, these clubs are a cheat code. And because everyone wants to know, they are a half a club longer than the Titleist CB's I was playing with for the last 20 years. But, I also choose softer shafts (2005 KBS rifle 7 or 7.5, the labels wore off, to true temper gold 6.5)

If you are upgrading iron head technology, or get fitted for shafts, these clubs could be 3 clubs stronger, easily if you are doing both. You can always ask them to tune up or down a couple degrees in you custom build.

Wedges- they are beautiful. They remind me of 80s/90's Hogan wedges. A touch bigger toe, and a scalloped face on the 56. Personally, I wish they both had a couple more degrees of bounce. I'm playing North Texas new Bermuda/gumbo/leftover rye.

If I was playing northern bluegrass/rye type grass, I would love them.

If I could have asked for the 56 with 14 degrees with an m type grind, it would be perfect. Same with the 52. 12 degrees would be better for me. 56 comes with 12 bounce and 52 with 10.

If you have read this long, I bought all 11 clubs for $1400. Read that again.
