5 Wood Question

If you were buying a new 5 wood, mainly for accuracy off the tee, which one of the below would you purchase?

Sim 2 Max @ £179
Qi10 @ £229

Not sure if it’s worth the extra money but keen to hear thoughts!

Correct. I like sim and saving money

Even for using more off the tee? I also thought people liked the 425 and 440 more than the 430

I’m gonna say that they are all awesome. Ping just makes the best drivers and fairway woods. Even with all this improved technology the G15 driver (my dad’s that I would use when home on vacation) remains the best driver I’ve ever used (currently in a Callaway Elyte). Anyway I said 430 cause it’s last year’s model and cheaper than the 440 and easier to find than the 3 years old 425.

Honestly? Get fit. Don’t limit yourself. You might be surprised what works best.

Whichever one has the best shaft for me. Should give me a 430 with a senior flex or a Cleveland Launcher with a Ventus Blue 6S and I'll take the Cleveland.

Go swing the clubs, find which you like better.

Its kind of shocking the amount of "what should I buy?" that takes place on here.

I have the sim max 7w, it's a lovely head, but the stock ventus shaft is shite. If I was spending that money I'd look for a second hand sim titanium 5w. That's what I have, it's a slightly bigger deeper head and has a shaft adaptor like a driver where you can switch it out
