Ok guys I think I have found the missing piece for my bag…the 5 wood.

16 handicapper looking for forgiveness.

Some say Callaway or Ping, but I am leaning toward the TaylorMade Qi10 Max.

Thoughts?

You’ll probably get more use out of a 7 wood

Best club I’ve had in a long time. 5w TSR3. Dabbled with a 3 iron (various shafts) and hybrids. 5w knocks them all out of the park. Consider shortening the shaft as well for a little more control.

Why not both?

Mine are Taylor Made M2 21 degree and 24 degree.

If you plan to hit it off a tee sometimes, I would get the Qi10 (taller face) and not the max.

I just got a Qi10 16.5 fairway wood and I am very pleased.

I also have a AiSmoke Heavenwood that is 4 wood length and 20 degrees. It's money off the deck. It's as long as some 5 woods.

Get any 5 wood in proper flex released in the past 15 years.

Also, try a 4 wood.

I like my PING G425 5Wood so much that I took my 3Wood out the bag and added another Wedge.

A few months ago I went to Edwin Watts for a 3 or 5W with no set brand or club in mind. I swung everything they had and I kept going back to the AI smoke 5W with a Tensei Blue R flex shaft. After playing 6 or 8 rounds with it I can say I am completely satisfied with it in all aspects. The ball takes off of the face like a rocket and the forgiveness is absolutely insane. I have gotten to where alot of times I'll leave my driver in the bag because this thing is so long and forgiving I'm almost further than my driver with it.(Yes I suck but I love the game) Playing at LSU the first round with it I was 240 out on the first par 5 and sent it to about 15' from the green. I would have never expected that but it blew me away for sure. My next purchase is a new driver and I will 100% be swinging the AI smoke before I pick up any other ones to try.

I agree here, can't go wrong the the QI10 Max, I have that in 3W, but my 7W is a Ti Bubble 2 with the orange head

Just can't get myself to take it out of my bag.. It's my 180-200 club that launches high and lands soft.

I'm considering doing this. I really don't see the need for 3 wedges. A 58 and 52 should do just fine. It's much easier to take yards off a wedge than it is a wood.

I also have a 3 iron that I almost never use, so I'll probably replace that with a hybrid or driving iron.
