MacGregor Eye-O-Matic Fairway

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Disadvantages: Superceded by the LD and Speed models.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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Good Price. Accuracy.
Disadvantages: Take some getting used to the distance

...on accuracy. I found that most of my shots were going straight where I pointed. I've had my "Reds" for about 18 months now and have seen my handicap drop from 26 down to 19. Also out of my small syndicate that I play in, 4 out of 12 have got the same clubs. I paid £349 for my set 18 months ago, but after a quick search on the Internet I see that the price is half that now. This is probably because the “Deep Red II” irons have recently been released. I've also since got the Deep Red 10.5 deg driver and can easily smack one down the middle of the fairway from the tee about 300 yds - depending on the conditions. In summary then if your looking for a new set of irons, which offer length and accuracy and don’t want to spend a fortune, then you cant go wrong by buying these quality clubs.... Read review
