and it’s a tremendous confidence booster. Combined with the head’s low center of gravity the ball gets up and out of most any lie including fairway bunkers. We took the High Head 257+ 3-wood ($399) and 3-hybrid ($299) to the range and then the course with interesting results and our comments apply to both unless noted otherwise. Fairway bunkers : tried only the hybrid from the sand. The ball came out with no adjustment to the swing other than using less lower body to guard against slipping Fairway : High and solid with the expected distance Rough : Impressed with how both clubs got the ball out with minimum of twisting the club at impact. Tried the hybrid from 3-inch high Bermuda which here in Florida is usually unplayable. Six swings, each reached the fairway and one measured at more than 180-yards. Fairway divot : Divots on the range were used varying in depth from shallow to almost an inch deep and shots were hit from the center to the rear of the divot. Both clubs performed extremely well and while the hybrid getting the ball up and away was not surprising the 3-wood did exactly the same. There was a definite feeling of the sole skimming through the depression. The TGS is truly a different configuration with a rounded leading edge of the sole merging to a high rounded center section that tapers sharply to a thin rear edge. Best of all it works and even though my particular swing fault is not “digging,” the results of shots hit from the rough and fairway divots in my evaluation give the High Head 257+ 3-wood and 3-hybrid all the credibility they need.
