Say what again mf'er!
I figured we could start a new thread for these beauties. Today I received a package with my Morgan Cup 2.0 fairway woods and hybrids courtesy of our friends at Bridgestone Golf. Here are some pics. Video is uploading and will be posted shortly.
Originally my plan was to go get 9 holes in while my daughters were at dance class but the course was packed with ladies league and another league that just started Tuesday night play. I opted instead for a huge bag of balls and some good old driving range time.
After warming up with iron shots I started with the 4h and immediately found out that these were nothing like what I expected. I was waiting for a muted sound and feel like the J40 driver but this was not to be the case. I was surprised with the high pitched sound, not a hollow sounding high pitch but a wonderful sounding higher pitch that immediately told me that I had hit my first shot solid. The ball flight was high and very tight. Definitely the kind of a shot you'd hope for trying to hold a green from around 205. I was hitting it closer to 215 but I was dead downwind (15 mph).
Next I pulled the 18 degree 5 wood. My original thought was this would be a perfect replacement distance wise to my 18 degree hybrid but I'm telling you right now that's not the case. The reason is I can already tell you that I'll hit the 5 wood quite a bit longer than my old hybrid. Everything was nice and high with another very tight shot dispersion. I love the footprint of the fairway woods, a little bigger but not too deep to make you feel like you can't get the ball in the air. I hit this off the turf only and had no issues getting it up in the air at all.
Last was the 14 degree 3+. I hit this both off the tee and off the turf, I smoked it off the tee getting a couple balls to bounce past the 250 marker (again dead downwind). Off the turf I didn't have quite as much success as the others but still not too shabby by any means. I found that I caught the ball a little heavier off the turf but it still went nice and straight, just probably couldn't trust it with a long carry until I get more work in with it. Again I love the footprint of this fairway wood, it's got a nice wide body but just not overly deep but not real shallow either.
Both fairway woods shared the same sound as the hybrid, just completely different than the driver which was a surprise to me but definitely a welcome surprise. There is nothing muted about these clubs, the feel is stellar and the ease of executing the shots (so far) seems to be perfect. I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of the hybird and fairway woods but man am I happy so far. I was just telling fellow Bridgestone staffer One-T yesterday that I really came around on hybrids late and once I did I was very picky as to what I liked and didn't like. I found that I had the most success with more of a little fairway wood looking hybrid and the J40 definitely has a bit of that but not as much as other hybrids on the market so honestly I was just not sure but after my first night with it I am real excited about this club.
I think these fairway woods and hybrid complete my bag to a T.
Thanks so much Bridgestone Golf and THP. Now I have hit everything from the J40 lineup and I cannot say enough positive things about all of it. What an amazing line up!
