Help With 5 Wood

[Wood]

I'm starting my search for a 5 wood today. After perusing the Taylor Made, Sonartec, Ping, and Mizuno sites, and going cross-eyed in the wave of specs and features & benefits they offer, I figured input might be a better place to start. I'm going to my pro shop to test some out, so the "find one you like and are comfortable with" comments, while appreciated, are not necesary. I'm hoping that fellow trap members have some "starting point" recomendations for my search.

About my game- long hitter, high ball flight. Generally, I work woods right to left (right handed). I'm looking for a 5 wood to split time between par 5 second shots, and short par 4 tee boxes, where I'm tired of the 60 yard shot, and would rather have 90-120.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm partial to Sonartec's, I've also used a TaylorMade V-Steel 5 wood in the past and liked it. It really comes down to what fits your eye and what feels better to you...

From people I've fit, they seem to be pretty picky about their fairway woods.

I like the TaylorMade TP as well as the 906F2 I've been using lately. But those are 3Ws.

The VSteels, though I've not hit one in the past few years, are tough to find but seemingly well worth the effort. Rafi has one, and as soon as he's done playing St. Andrews and gets back to the U.S., he'll probably have something to say about it.

Just pulled the 904F 19* from my bag today and replaced it with the 585.H 19* hybrid. If you are only interested in woods then check out the new 906. They set up square, just like the sonartecs I use to use.

I would definately try out a Sonartech. I have the NP-99 in my bag and absolutely love it. Very high quality, solid feel. You could probably get it at a fairly decent price now as well.
