  1. I picked up the SLDRs 17 toward the end of the 2014 season and have gained
    confidence with it. Prefer it over the 19 hybrid which launches too low
    for me. I do have the 22 hybrid and really like it. Looking forward to
    using the 17 off the tee on tight holes and trying to reach par 5s in two.

  2. I just ordered a SLDR S 3 wood in very good condition for 95$ plus
    shipping. Can’t wait to hit it although I can’t hit it outside because of
    snow. Thanks for the review Rick. Greetings from the cold up here in
    Iceland.

  3. Hi Rick, Hope your well and enjoying the ryder cup. I recently bought an
    sldr driver and love it compared to my R1. Im now looking to go to a sldr
    fairway and am undecided between the sldr and sldr s. I have watched your
    videos and am looking to see if you can answer a few questions. Is there
    any differences between the shafts? Is the face closed on the sldr s? Did
    they launch any different? Which one was more forgiving?

    Thanks

  4. Just for info. You mention in the vid that the shaft on the SLDR S Fairway
    is shorter than the standard SLDR Fairway. That is true in the higher
    lofts, but in the 15* 3 Wood that you tested, the shafts lengths of the
    SLDR and SLDR S are exactly the same @ 43.25″.

  5. +RickShielsPGAGolf – I still dont get why the mini is in the bag? You hit
    this club further as the results show. Of course the concern with the club
    is that it wont hold a green potentially however neither will the mini?
    Could the GC2 need ‘reconfiguring’. The results seem strange from club to
    club.

  6. If you were to choose between this, the Ping G30, and the jetspeed fairway
    woods, which would you choose? And what about for a higher handicap golfer?

  7. Nice interesting Vid Rick. Interesting that spin rates with the SLDR S
    fairway were lower than the SLDR Mini for you personally. Strange, that a
    Club like the Mini which professes to be a 3 wood/Driver alternative is
    spinning more than a shallow faced sibling, and therefore loses distance to
    the SLDR S Fairway. Very interesting.

  8. Hi Rick, great review. I have this club, and it is long. I do find it
    better of the fairway than a tee. Im not a big hitter but when I get hold
    of it does go a long way.

  9. I find it interesting you hit this so much longer than the 14* SLDR mini. I
    tested the mini in 14* as well and found that if I tee it a 1/2 inch higher
    I hit it much farther. I averaged 265 – 270 carry with it, for comparison I
    carry the Bertha 3 wood 255. I have not tested the SLDR S 3 wood, but now I
    can’t wait to try it.

  10. I might pick one of these up. I stayed away from the mini-driver because it
    looked like it would be too hard to hit off the deck (with the big head and
    deep face), but this one looks nice. Plus, it’ll match my SLDRs driver. I
    love the metallic-grey to black look.
