JJ VanWezenbeeck and Charles found optimal launch conditions by adjusting the SureFit hosel to a D•1 setting, which effectively reduces the loft on the 10.5° clubhead to 9.75°.https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116208Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:17 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:4e60b4f6-eb95-4806-bdfa-cdda27d59701Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0Charles carries two new TS2 fairway metals, a 15° 3-metal, set to the neutral A•1 SureFit hosel setting…https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116207Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:16 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:b666f0e8-a9cb-4ac2-8737-5747bc020728Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0…and a 21° TS2 5-metal, set to a D•1 setting, which effectively reduces the loft on the 10.5° clubhead to 20.25°.https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116206Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:15 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:60c4144f-351a-4363-913d-c0297c5a589bRick V., Team Titleist Staff0A closer look at Charles’ 718 T-MB 4-iron. The T-MB launches the ball higher than the 718 AP2 and 718 CB and gives Charles more ball speed, a perfect combination to transition from irons to metals.https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116205Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:14 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:367a4e04-cd0a-427b-984c-e2239a6460bcRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Charles’ 718 CB irons provide the traditional look and forged feel he’s looking for, but the club also incorporates tungsten weighting to increase the MOI and make these irons incredibly forgiving.https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116204Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:13 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:1d0c3baf-03e0-4cb7-90f0-946b381acce5Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0Howell carries 718 CB irons through the pitching wedge and then transitions to a Vokey SM7 52.12 F-grind gap wedge. The high bounce F-grind gives Charles just the right turf interaction for this club, which he uses primarily for full shots into the green.https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116203Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:12 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:09743aff-ed58-4e2d-8259-638153be8719Rick V., Team Titleist Staff0From the gap wedge, Charles moves up to an SM7 56.08 M-grind sand wedge. The M-grind, Bob Vokey “Most Favorite” grind, provides relief on the toe, heel and trailing edge of the sole, allowing Charles to open and close the face for a variety of shots.https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116202Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:12 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:112d0715-3cac-4ec1-a1a0-492cc83e0b0fRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Charles also favors the M-grind on his SM7 60.08 lob wedge. Here’s a good view of Aaron Dill’s grinding work on the heel and trailing edge. https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/m/charles_howell_iii_witb_2019/116201Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:48:10 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:44bece44-43dd-4730-8c2f-bcb033df7b8bRick V., Team Titleist Staff0Welcome to the Titleist team, Charles!
