Features
Callaway Epic Flash model boasts perfection in terms of better ball speed and a longer distance. The technology Flash Face is what differentiates this product among all the other 5-woods on the market. This technology, in fact, creates a wood face that enables better speed and a longer distance. Also, there is a combination of a Forged 455 Carpenter steel construction and Face cup which influences the ball speed, and consequently, the distance on off-center hits. Two bars are incorporated in the inner part of the clubhead, causing increased impact load on the wood face to improve the ball speed. The butt-section of this wood is made of Aluminum Vapor Coated Fiber which adds stability. Another specific of this fairway is the OptiFit hosel which is lighter than the previous versions. And finally, we must confess that Callaway’s Epic Flash looks great having a modern outer design.

Performance
This 5-wood makes the launch easy and high, enabling a long flight. It is probably the most suitable for mid- launch players with mid-low spin, offering enhanced stability and control. The EvenFlow makes shaft load being transferred through the swing while enabling the maximum release of energy at impact. So, this powerful energy flow gives a “smooth” feel, thus influencing greater distance. The overall combination of optimized materials and the design and the color are greatly suitable for aggressive golfers who seek improved distance and playability. Also, it is characterized by excellent forgiveness. The “steel face” produces a volume that is moderate, giving crisp metallic sound.

Cost and Value
To be honest, this product is expensive, but it is absolutely worth buying. Being a top-rated 5-wood, which incorporates the latest, cutting-edge technologies, patented to maximize performance, durability, and feel, it will captivate you with its perfection. Even though it is designed to appeal to more aggressive, fast-swinging golfers, we would recommend it to any player who simply wants to achieve better results.

Features
Thanks to the advanced driver technology, they seem to have achieved an overall improvement of the game performance, successfully combining the aerodynamic shape of the club head, having the CG lower and deeper. The precision milled stainless steel 455 face makes it the thinnest face that Cobra has made in a fairway, promoting speed and distance. A 360 aero technology is used to reduce drag by using polymer crown and titanium- sole trips in a position relative to airflow direction in the area of the club head. This fairway is also designed to provide a higher launch and better forgiveness with the Ultralight Carbon Fiber Crown, as well as having MyFly8 and a Smart Rail 8 in order to maximize distance. When compared to titanium crowns, this carbon crown saves about ten grams of weight thanks to the carbon fiber which covers a 12 % larger area.

Performance
This 5 wood fairway is all about achieving a maximum distance and speed, hence the name. It has a very well combined efficient aerodynamic features achieved by maintaining the CG at a low level, making the club head deliver a reduced drag and maximized club speed. And although many manufacturers claim they have a fast face, Cobra’s is actually CNC milled which enhances the speed of the ball. In terms of performance, this face significantly influences consistency while Speedback technology improves launch and increases distance. MyFly 8 and Smart Rail-8 allow for adjustable loft settings so that any golfer has the possibility to fine-tune the game in accordance with his/her needs.

Cost and value
Cobra F9 Speedback is every golfer’s dream and everyone is likely to appreciate having it in his/her bag. The materials and the technologies used to manufacture this product guarantee quality and durability, making it totally worth the money. Remember the steel face, aerodynamic shape, the carbon crown, the precise computer polishing- all provide more consistency and a higher launch- and therefore making it a good buy.

Features
This model features C300 steel, Twist Face- curvature of the face which golfers find it to be a revolutionary feature as it is designed to decrease side spin and improve straight shots. Its head design has a deep face, large carbon crown, and it provides excellent playability and an optimal distance. The solid steel frame for the M6 fairway is designed with the technology called Twist Face, so it nicely combines extraordinary forgiveness, feel and distance. Also, it has a Speed Pocket slot on the sole, set to provide a better ball speed down on the face, which contains thermoplastic polyurethane.

Performance
This 5 wood benefits the Twist face technology to improve the direction of the initial launch and manage the spin level for straighter ball trajectory. It has more advanced slot flexibility and a greater COR area, while off-center performance mainly on low strikes is now better. Also, it has a flatter TPU slot just to provide a better turf interaction. The forgiveness of this fairway is mainly achieved through the Inertia Generator which holds a great amount of mass within its aerodynamic sole and it helps achieve a better speed while retaining maximum forgiveness. TaylorMade did a good job with this fairway regarding the sleek looks, large address profile, and face.

Cost and value
Some might find this non- adjustable fairway with a fixed hosel a bit pricey, but you really need to take into consideration the complete technology and design of the product before coming to a verdict. The combination of the head setup and the carbon crown has achieved the right position of the CG. And not to miss this- if you have found the previous version of this wood right for your performance, but still want to upgrade your game with a new fairway, then this one justifies the cost and you will love it.

Features
The classic shape of the head which includes a patented hosel technology called SureFit Tour allows the lie and loft to be adjusted independently to match your game and swing. It is actually a better, improved version compared to the 910F, as it has a smaller hosel and it is more forgiving as it enables the weight to be moved just around the head. The larger head and the larger face also contribute to its better forgiveness.

Performance
This 913F 5-wood model is designed to offer speed and forgiveness at the same time, providing the right sound and feel. It has a loft that is adjustable in order to tune the launch, speed and flight trajectory. The SureFit Tour interchangeable hosel allows trying different shafts and different lengths in the process of fitting. It is also designed to allow you to match the balance point of the shaft and get the feel you like by fine-tuning the head weight. Even though Titleist was more tour oriented, it seems that the company is trying to get closer to average golfers with the forgiveness and the perimeter weighting of this club. This fairway comes with a great selection of specifications such as shafts, grips, etc, as well as other options for customization to help you reach your best potential

Cost and Value
When looking at the design of this club it is obvious that Titleist fairway is made to provide you with the distance and the height you want to achieve. Also, what we find helpful is that there are certified expert fitters in Titleist who are going to help you get optimal distance, trajectory, and spin rates in order to give you a wood that will do the job for you. Titleist products, in general, have higher price tags compared to the competition, but it is due to the high quality of their products which is utterly uncompromised. So, if the quality is one of your top criteria when deciding what to buy- this is a go-to 5-wood.

Features
One of the most distinctive features is the Hyper Speed Face Cup, created to give greater ball speeds across the face and it is achieved by the lighter, thinner and more robust steel 455 carpenter face for stable playability and distance. Callaway has used an adjustable hosel technology, which is new and advanced in a three-step process. Firstly, you can achieve a 1-degree increment decrease or increase of the loft for optimized spin and angle; secondly, it offers speed shot optimization achieved through the adjustment to a neutral or a draw bias; and thirdly, it delivers more accuracy and maximized distance. Its CG is located nearer to the center, just to enable consistent spin and distance, which is highly appreciated by golfers. A premium shaft coming from Mitsubishi increases the energy transfer while resulting in better speed, a higher launch with lowered spin and a smooth feel.

Performance
The Big Bertha is suitable for customization of your shots having an Adjustable Hosel. Its shaft is a Fubuki coming from Mitsubishi and it is available in three flexes: regular, stiff and senior. The hyper-speed cup, the thinner, lighter and a more robust steel face make it much more performing fairway compared to other woods in the industry and the range. So, since this face is unique, it is able to provide maximized ball speed on every point of contact, making it a preferable option for many golfers. You will be able to customize shots in order to achieve great results on every swing due to its adjustable hosel. The improved internal- standing wave controls the location of its center of gravity while providing consistent launch, spin, and distance.

Cost and Value
We’ll go straight to the point when it comes to Callaway products the price is high. But, if you are experienced golf player, would you perform well if you play with a cheap, low-performance fairway? We highly doubt it, so, you really need to be aware of the advantages of this product when comparing its technology and materials with similar, lower-priced options available on the market today.

Features

Face Insert
This fairway features an ultra-strong face insert, ni-co 300 that optimizes the ball speed. It has a carbon crown of 5 layers which saves 8 grams of weight, creating a lower center of gravity (compared to a steel crown) while improving launch height and reducing the spin. Its fluted hostel does not influence CG location and at the same time, it provides a great sound. TaylorMade M4 5-wood has used a GeoCoustic technology to improve playability it has, while the low profile and the large footprint make the launch easy. Also, the shape of the sole further improves the playability, optimizing the sound and the feel. The inside area of the face is designed with Inverted Cone, which eventually makes this fairway more forgiving.

Performance
This fairway is very forgiving, so no doubt it is a loved club by many golfers. In the previous models, there was a weight pad positioned in the center, which in M4 is now split in two, in order to increase forgiveness. Previously mentioned GeoCoustic design is actually a recessed section on the sole which uses geometry for strengthening the body and improving the sound. Its Speed Pocket seems to be the “engine” that produces speed, especially on low strikes on the face. When compared to the performance of M6, this new M4 delivers as fastball speed as the M6 has.

Cost and Value
Before we talk about the price of this fairway, let’s take a look at what the value of the product is. TaylorMade is one of the producers whose name is a synonym for quality. This product is carefully designed to deliver performance, feel and looks. Many golfers like its overall forgiveness, but also the exquisite looks it has. Its silver carbon crown gives calmer look to the wood. When it comes to its price, it isn’t as expensive as the one of M6, but it isn’t low either, so it is a kind of a perfect balance between playability and cost.

Features
This is a 5 wood, 18 degrees loft coming from Mazel. It features a sweet spot which is a bit larger than usual designed for enhanced ball speed on low struck shots off the heel, toe and on the clubface. The head shape is aerodynamic which leads to improved impact area and increased forgiveness on the ball launch. It has a trench- speed channel which surrounds the club face, minimizing its thickness to provide better ball speeds for a great distance while retaining a high level of forgiveness. Its casted CUP and PVD face structure influences weight distribution, so this fairway looks exquisite having a great thickness which delivers a crisp sound on every shot, distance and straight trajectory.

Performance
