What fairway woods

[Gytski]

Hi, ive been playing several tears but only play a dozen or so rounds a year due to work and stuff. Looking at going into using fairway wood but not sure what to get for high handicapper. Not looking at brand new looking at second hand. Any advice as to best would be appreciated.

It all comes down to budget and you can get some really good fairways for not a lot of cash.
Ping, Callaway and TaylorMade are good starting points.
You can pay anything from 50 quid to 200+ depending on what you get.
Look at Golfbidder to get an idea of prices and then try American Golf shops - they often have 2nd hand gear that you can try.
Your local Pro may also have some.
Maybe look for a 5 wood first..enough loft to get the ball up but you'll still get decent distance.
3 woods of 15° can be hard to launch..

Thank you, im looking at a TM m4 which they say is good and forgiving.

Not a bad start
Equivalents are Rogue and G400...all equally as good in the hands of a mortal

The Cobra F9 is superb. I could never really hit fairway woods before, but this one makes it easy. The rails on the sole really do help if you hit one slightly fat.

Ping are about as forgiving as you can get. I still use my old G25's as they are reliable and easy to hit. A guide here https://www.golfbidder.co.uk/models/4742/Ping__Fairway_G25.html but shop around and I am sure you can find them cheaper than Golfbidder
