Fairway Wood Shafts

[mattyb0y]

I have finally got a set of clubs that i no longer plan to change! AT LAST!

However i play 3w 3-pw so want a fairway to fill the gap!

I have a Callaway BB 3 wood which is lovely off the tee bigger head yet of the deck i dont feel too confident with it!

SO i want a 5 wood - something with a bit smaller head and low profile face... i was looking at the Titleist 909 f2 or the Mizuno MP fairway 5 woods, they are both more of a shot making club and this is something i want!

Yet my problem is the shaft... i play a pro launch blue stiff im my 3w which is perfect for off the tee gets it airbourne, yet in the 5 wood i want something which will generate a lower ball flight and more penetrating...

Any suggestions on either the club or especially the shaft?

I like grafalloy and was considering the standard blue shaft?

What about a hybrid Matty? 17 - 19 degrees with a stiff shaft. Dont /Cant play with a stiff shaft but the aldilla or Graffaloy ones are good. Try superstiff!!

What about a hybrid Matty?

Yeh i do play a 3 iron hybrid at 21* which is perfect on narrow tee shots i love it.. yet off the deck it seems to ballon its a Mizuno CLK FI HI with still stock shaft in (not sure) i wanted to get a 5 wood as iv always liked the fairway woods off the deck... and i think the 3 hybrid loses distance as it seems to go up and up... a few courses i play often have long par 5's one being best part of 620 of the white pots yet... so wanted something to scoot down the fairways a bit longer than the hybrid... and as for my 3 wood... off the deck i can swat it further

Prolaunch red is supposed to be lower launching than the blue.

PL Blue is high launch, Red is low and Platinum is in between.

The fairway wood will use have a heavier shaft, say 85g compared to 65g in the driver, so that will knock the flight down a bit. The 909f2 is available with Voooo (by Titleist) and Diamana Blue (by Titleist). The Voodoo is a better shaft, and might fit the bill. The MP Titanium has Fubuki by Mizuno. That is a pretty good shaft.

I would try the stock shafts for now. Both woods can be ordered in a range of custom shafts. The UST V2 might be worth looking at.

I have a prolaunch red shaft in my Ping G10 5 wood and it keeps it sooo low it's untrue

Is that with a decent hit? or you topping it? or thinning it?
