5 wood choices

[Stanters]

Ok - I am thinking of getting a 5 wood to use primarily on stiller days when the lower flight of my hybrid isn't so important.

I don't want to spend the earth and am looking at these 2

Great clubhead - but I have no idea what the Rifle steel shaft is like. Anyone know? Is it a better option as I have quite a smooth, slow swing for fairway woods?

Ezra should be by in a little while...he'll let you know. i haven't played them but i hear great things about those woods still, even though they've been out for some time. some pros won't part with theirs.

Just bumping this - Ezra or anyone know about the Rifle R80 shaft? On the higher of the 2 links.

I'll sum it up in one line - best value vs. performance of any combo on the planet. The R-80 is an awesome shaft in the 200steel 5W. If Nsherman was around he would verify how well I hit that combo.

I have retired it now for the TP5W and if you were stateside I'd send it to you. Last shot I hit with it was a choked down high fade from 205 into a slight wind. Ever see a 5wood spin back?

Just buy one. They are so cheap you can't go wrong. You should be able to find a nice condition one for like the equivilent of $30 US.

Cheers Ez - £30 would be nearer the mark - have a look at the top link of my 1st post.

Think I will be getting one after that little review.

Thanks again.
