Went to a couple of 17 degree last year (Proceed and Yamaha). Picked up a 2013 Egg 5W this year, which is 18 degree but rumored to be very long. Has been a bit erratic so far. Had a 16 degree 3W sitting on the shelf for a couple of years, a SYB W422V. Figured I would put a short stiff shaft on it, ease off the swing speed a bit, shorten the swing slightly, and try it as a 5W replacement. Working quite well so far. Square face, large 202cc, but shallow enough face not to be a problem. the only 5w I have is an OnOff '17 Kuro 18* wood. I like it even though I don't typically use a 5w, the face is nice and rounded off at the bottom which makes it a piece of cake to scoop the ball off the fairway or a tight lie. it's not the most shallow faced 5w in the world either, which is typically the opposite of what I like especially for a compact wood that I'll be hitting off the deck, but the face has a nice clever shape that appeals to my eye anyway. I find it to be a very easy 5w to hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Consider higher launching shafts for deeper faced woods. For me I value straightness and consistency for my FW. I could care less about distance if it means my #3 gets me in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
