Im thinking of canning my 2iron for a 5 wood for a bit more distance.

What is your favorite 5 wood? I am thinking Ping or Titleist???

I like traditional pear shaped heads and straight or slightly open faced.

I see you've got a f-50 strong three-wood in your bag, don't you like it? I'd have thought the natural decision would be to get an f-50 5-wood to fill the gap; they're out of date now but you can still get them on the internet if you search around a bit. IMO they're an absolute classic fairway wood; very long even compared with the brand new stuff and good of the turf or tee.

In the Bag:

R7 Draw, stiff Exsar FS2
F-50 3-wood, stiff Exsar FS2

I'm very found of the TaylorMade woods. I like the shallow face on the Burner 5wood.

I've gotta recommend nickent. My 4dx 4 wood is probably the most fantastic wood I have hit. It makes me want to take a look at their drivers. The feel is definitely at the top. It is also very forgiving for how much workability you get out of it. Go try one out and see! I would also lean towards taylormade, but that's probably not the headshape you want. I'm not really that big of a fan of ping or titleist, good equipment, just liked others better. You could take a look at titleist's cobra line, those s9's are supposed to be sweet.

I love my 5 wood. It is an old Callaway and it sounds and feels great. I highly recommend. It is small compared with todays fairway woods.

Everybody is just going to say the one they own. And I'm no different :D

I love my Tour Edge Exoics woods.

Everybody is making such good clubs these days. I think if you know the correct shaft for your game you could pretty much put any known brand head on it and have good results.

Hey,

I have to agree with you on that - Taylormade woods are easy to hit well - not to mentions are easy on the eye.

have a Taylormade Tour Launch Burner 17.5 degrees - it's amazing. First 5 wood i owned and love it. Thought I might change it for an R9 as the gap between my 3wood and 5 wood is very little. And large distance gap between 5 wood and 4 iron.

I'd get a taylormade or a mizuno.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
