  I also posted this on community help, sorry for repeat but fits both sections;

  Mmmmmmm quandry as im due anytime now to get level 92, i was going to get the max 3 wood to replace my level 89 B Bertha.

  The stats on the max are far better....other than .5 spin and 5 yards less yardage.

  Its the forgiveness which is the issue with BB as slightly off ding then hello rough, especially on those bottle necked fairways

  Now its approaching i aint sure whether to lose 1000 creds (after trade in that would be loss) and 5 yards for a more forgiving club with a slower meter.

  Any advice would be great folks

  I had the Max club for a while but I found that because it's meter speed was far slower than any of my other clubs, it threw my whole game out. Why not try the new R15 club?

  1. Have a look the money boards - BBs everywhere and be hard pushed to see a Max (usually).  Max is a great little 3 wood but unless you seriously struggle with the BB the BB blew it out of the water, and also the one that used to be above it (a L95 R11s).

   2. General equipment thoughts here - FAQS.

  And the precision is better on the BB...........poetic licence in that to some extent as the BB can wander off drunk (and maybe too often).  

  In short swap only if need to swap performance for ease of use - the BB offers performs better in key areas and offers more flexibility overall if it can be managed.

  Thanks both for advice....To be honest the fact im asking makes me know i will stick with BB, as the plan for last  2 or 3 weeks has worsened as that green gauge is almost full for 92 lol.

  I do fine with BB i suppose, just the odd hic now and again, but nobody says its easy and i wanna start to realise its my putting thats the problem lol

  Thanks

  EDIT. Was looking on your web the day after you set it up Jim....and last night lol

  I'd look at that R15 that Courteney suggested. I have the predecessor-the R11s- and I also have the BB. Every once in a while I use the BB to remind myself of why I keep the R11s. LOL
