Looking for a Five Wood

[ZTB17]

I am in quite a spot when it comes to buying clubs. I am left handed, and our local shops don't carry left handed clubs. THusly, I am unable of trying out new clubs unless I want to jump in my car and take a two hour trip to Indianapolis. So I am turning hear for advice on buying a 5 wood. I currently only have a driver, 3-sw irons, and a putter. I want something I can hit off the deck when i'm 250 out and get closer than I can with my 3-iron. A local couse had a set of left-handed rentals and after becoming a patron he left me take the woods out of that set to try them out. I found I couldn't hit the three wood with any consistency but that I could hit the 5 wood fairly well.


So anyway, long story short I am looking for a reccomendation on a 5 wood. Thank you very much.

Depends what's your price range?

I'm looking for something used at maybe 50-60 dollars tops. I should be able to find a good quality used five-wood in that range.

You have a ton of options.

Buying blind would be sorta trial and error and that can get expensive.....I learned that the hard way years ago.

I chose not to go with my traditional set make up this time around which was driver, 3W, 5W, 3I-LW & putter. Instead of the 5W I went with a 15 hybrid. I hit this longer than my 3-iron.

I'm going with a single fairway wood.....4W. This time it'll be driver, 4W, 1H, 3I-LW & putter. I'll see how that works out for a while.


There are a ton of clubs out there, but I'm really loving the G10 series with the V2 HL shafts.....simply loving them.

I'm actually looking into a 5 wood too, recently I have been playing with the rental one today at the course I work at. Look into Cobra's, I was hitting mine so well it was ridiculous.

Golf Galaxy will build a Maltby KE4 fairway wood for you for $50. I've heard such good things about these clubs I decided to go for it. Can't wait to hit it this weekend.

Why not try a 4 wood? If you get a 5W and later find out you're short on distance again then you'd get a 3W too. A 4W would be a good choice. I know thi mught exceed your budget but just try demoing either a Mizuno F50 or F60 or a Ping G10 4W, They may fit your needs.
