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 I'd have thought the natural decision would be to get an f-50 5-wood to fill the gap; they're out of date now but you can still get them on the internet if you search around a bit.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.

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.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
