Hippo John Daly Fairway Wood

UPDATE - BIG JOHN IS BACK

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

of his own and remain on level terms. The next hole, the 17th was halved in regulation pars, and when they came to the last hole, a par-5 measuring over 550 yards, Daly again launched a colossal drive that split the fairway, and only left him with a simple five iron shot into the green. Harrington, from much further back in the fairway, was forced to gamble, and threw himself at a three wood in an attempt to reach the green in two. The result was a pushed shot that landed in a water hazard to the right of the putting surface. But even now the drama wasn’t over. Daly overshot the green with his approach, landing in thick rough, and Harrington proceeded to play a marvellous chip shot that almost guaranteed him his par five, so well was he putting. “Big John” simply took one glance at the hole, and played a wonderfully ...

Cobra SZ Fairway Woods - Inspires confidence!

Advantages: Large "Sweet Zone", Accurate and Long.
Disadvantages: Superceded by the LD and Speed models.

I have owned both the 3-wood and 5-wood in the Cobra SZ "Hyper Steel" Fairway Woods series for approximately 8/9 months and I have to say that I am very impressed with their performance. Previously I had not being a confident player with the fairway woods and had struggled for both confidence and consistancy. However, since changing to these clubs I have a new found confidence in my longer clubs and I believe that much of this is due to the amazing contrast between these and my previous woods. The deep face and large clubhead give assurance to even the least confident of fairway woods players and I think that the clubs appearance has had a major affect on me. Cobra advertise this "larger profile" as giving players "longer, more accurate shots" and I cannot argue with that from my experience. Cobra are becoming a dominant force in ...

Mizuno MP-001 Fairway woods

Advantages: Low price, powerful and nice design
Disadvantages: Not suitable for high handicaps due to small head size

The Mizuno MP-001 series of fairway woods are available in a wide range of lofts, with a variety of shaft flexes. Due to being released a few years ago, they are now extremely good value and can be picked up for around £50/£70 (steel/graphite) new and prices are coming down all the time. They are very good looking with a sleek design and look good over the ball. With a simple arrow alignment aid and a compact head these are better suited for the better-player who can guarentee a good strike. Even so, they are very forgiving compared to other low-handicapper woods and hit the ball a long way. In my opinion they are just as good as any other club out and are un-matched for value. For any decent golfer these are a good adition to the golf bag, and the 7-wood in particular is a lovely golf club. If you like to shape the ball it is also easy ...
