5 woods


Phireside

Recommended Posts

I want to dabble in a 5 wood. I've never gamed one. Please suggest an inexpensive one to start with. something less than $120. Would prefer something that can adjust the lofts +/- 1 degree.

 

I'm looking at this as something to possibly use off the tee from time to time but mostly to give it a go for 2 on a par 5.

Depends on what head shape you prefer. I have carried a Cobra Bio Cell+ 5-7 wood for a few years. Very compact head but plays almost like a hybrid and is outstanding on narrow par 4's from the tee box. The stock Matrix Ozik shaft is also really good. The F6 Baffler is basically the same club for a little more money and has the rail system alot of folks like.

 

If you prefer a wider/thinner head the Callaway XR and X2 Hot are both good options as well.

I've posted about it before in 5 wood threads but I got a Tour Issue small head Aeroburner 5 wood and it's my favorite club in the bag. Great off the tee or deck. It feels wonderful and solid as well. Oddly enough because I loved it so much I bought a Tour Issue Aeroburner yardbirds 3 wood and Absolutely HATED it. After 2 range sessions it was sold.

I picked up an alpha 816 head from the bst here in the fall because I struggle with hybrids. Absolutely love it plus I feel it is still very relevant with production compared to new equipment. Smaller profile head, but easier to hit than one would think. Paid $60 for the head.

Tour Edge Exotics XCG7 was a great one for me. You could also look at a few years old Titleist or even the RBZ stage 2.

I have the 915F in a 5 wood. It was imo the best of that series.

Ping i25 is a great idea (I'm in the same boat, looking for a good 5 wood). Think I'll get one and buy a Kiyoshi HB to out in there.
