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 I'd have thought the natural decision would be to get an f-50 5-wood to fill the gap; they're out of date now but you can still get them on the internet if you search around a bit.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

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
