Pros: A great inexpensive club with a great feel
Cons: Nothing so far
The Bottom Line: If you want a good fairway wood but don't want to spend a fortune, you won't lose on this deal.

| jlouie617's Full Review: Wilson Fatboy Driver and Fairway Woods |
I bought a 19* 5 wood on ebay for $60. Quite honestly, I really didn't need a new club since I already had a fine Taylormade Ti Bubbleshaft 5 wood, but i just wanted something new and I came across this club. I tried to look for it in the golf shops so I could try it but to no avail. I decided to take the risk and purchase it.
The club has a fairly large head compare to my Taylormade and the shaft was UST ProForce Graphite shaft. The grip was very soft and it just felt right in my hand. The color is really bright with yellow, blue, and purple. My Taylormade felt a little lighter but overall I like the feel of the club.
I took out both clubs to the range and I usually hit my Taylormade about 200 yards teed up. I took out the Fat Boy and I hit it about 220-225 yards!! Well, I thought it must be luck and I tried it again with the same result. I said it must be the Wheaties I ate this morning, so I took out the Taylormade and I could only hit it about 200 yards and I tried like 5 times or so with the same result. I was truly amazed.
I decided to take the club to the course and there was one hole that was 239 yards with a slight downhill. I took out the Fat Boy and I landed the ball on the green but 20 feet to the left!! WOW, I 've never done that before and I played on this course a couple of times before and I usually bring out my 3 wood for this hole.
Overall: I have a Cleveland Launcher 10.5, Adams Tight Lies ST 3 Wood 15*, and Tommy Armour 845 Silverback. I have to say that that the Fat Boy is my favorite club in the bag. I am now thinking about switching my 3 wood for a Fat Boy.
