Forum Thread of the Day: “Favorite 5-wood?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from el_28 who asks our members for their favorite 5-wood. Looking to switch his 17º hybrid for a 5-wood, el_28 also asks fellow members for their preferred 5-wood/shaft combination, and our members oblige with plenty of recommendations.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Warrick: “The F9 Tour is an easy transition from a hybrid with the small head, rails seem to be a plus also.”
- IL2AZ: “M3 lofted to 19.75 with Aldila Rogue Black 80x. One of the smaller CC 5 wood heads on the market and sits very open, even lofted up one click. It almost plays as a combo hybrid/fw combining the benefits of both.”
- bcsquare: “Currently playing the Cobra F9 with the Atmos Blue TS 7S; been loving it. It’s plenty forgiving and has a tall flight. The F9 Tour is great also if you like a smaller footprint and a more penetrating flight. GBB Epic is another good one with the HZRDUS shaft; this one was quite hot off the face.”
- NDGolfer13: “I have a cobra Ltd by complete accident, and it’s a fantastic club. It is really easy to hit (I’m playing it at a lower setting, and it’s neutral) has an adbb shaft and it’s very very good.”

I love TEE, but why would you want a 5 wood that goes further than your 3 wood.

I LOVE my Srixon fairway woods. I can work them and yet they are very forgiving. Great sound when you connect too.
