In our forums, our members have been discussing fairway woods for senior golfers. WRXer ‘gvogel’ is on the hunt for a new fairway wood to give him maximum distance, and kicks off the thread saying:

“I’m over 70 and seeking to replace my Ping G25 5-wood with something better.  This will be my fairway club to get maximum distance.  I also have a G25 4-wood, but I don’t think that it goes any farther than the 5-wood.  Is there some advanced tech in a higher lofted 3/4-wood or a 5-wood that I should be looking at?

Driver is a TSR1 12* with a Ventus TR Red 5R shaft.  Driver Swing speed is a bit over 80.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • brancamp52: “Can’t go wrong with the Ping G425 or G430. personally i like the 430s because i think they sound a little better than the 425s but that could just be me. I’m 71 and the 430’s won’t be going anywhere.”
  • jjfcpa: “I’m 76 years old and play a G430 HL 3 and 5 hybrid, however, I found that the Callaway AI Smoke Max D 5w has better performance than the Ping fairway woods.  I went with the Ping hybrids because they are a little easier to hit, but perhaps a bit shorter than the Callaway hybrids.”
  • PJE: “I would check out the Ping G425 fairway wood. I also owned the G25 (and then a G400) 5 wood. For me, the G425 was longer than both the G25 and G400. I think the face is hotter. It’s also very easy to launch. I also liked the clean appearance of the G425 head over the G430 graphics and I like the small hosels of the Pings compared to other OEMs.”
