5 wood suggestions

[Imurg]

Yes that left bunker is a pain, it’s why I dropped to the 5 wood, I guaranteed not going in but was well up for a go at the green.
15th is long it’s geography makes it feel long but I think left side is safe and if the tee shot puts you on the right a 2nd aimed up the left will see you okay. But yes the second shot is or has to be big!
did you find the Alta a little whippy ?

Sounds odd but I can't really put my finger on why but it just felt wrong......

Yes this could be an option but it’s quite expensive

Got mine from golfbidder, it was £149 but it was mint.

Another vote for the G410, so easy to hit off the deck and tee.

g410. It comes at 17.5 but I have it at 16.5...so kind of a 4 wood. I don't carry a 3 wood, but I carry 2 hybrids.

Is this known as a short four ? And lofted up 3 is long four?

 

[Imurg]

Loft up a 410 3 wood and you can get it to 16° but it closes the face quite a bit
You can counter that by using the loft sleeve to flatten the lie.
It works a bit but I still had the lefts with it.
5 wood delofted opens the face a tad and at 16.5° is spot on for me.

Any views on the Mizuno st190 they seem to be quite low in price brand new... I cannot any negative reviews

I liked my TS2 5 wood but it just popped the ball up too much, went back to my 917 5 wood instead.
If I was buying again, I’d look for a lower spinning 5 wood, launch is not the issue with that much loft. Spin kills with this sort of club

I don't know about the Mizuno drivers/fairways.....but I have 3 of their hybrids which I quite like.

I’ve been using a Mizuno ST200. It was a Golf Depot punt and it worked out well! The 19 degree loft worked well for my gapping and I’ve found it forgiving off both the tee and the deck.

Others have mentioned the SIM Max too. I have this as a 3 wood and got it for a bargain using the eBay discount codes a while back. This is also incredibly easy off the tee and deck so I’d assume the 5 wood is the same.

My Rogue is pretty forgiving.

Shouldn't be that expensive nowadays

Any of the Ping range. Plenty of second hand bargains around especially on some of the well known second hand golf club websites

I also find the Altra a poor fit, tried the Tensi Blue also but the Ping tour 85 is a great fit for me with the 5W

G400 it’s a beast and half the price of a G410.

I'm still using the R11s 5 wood, it just goes so well I cant replace it. Needs a new headcover though, 9 years have been harsh on it.

Really loving my cobra f7 5 wood recently

That said when I had a long g15 I Always struck it well

I think that’s it, find one and it stays.
current home bag has a rogue in, but it’s a little tweaked. I think I like low spin ones

Sorry, I know you said 2014 onwards but the rbz stage 1 5 wood is a great club. £50 on ebay

No it is not a bad call, did they not re release in black ?
