As with all TaylorMade golf clubs, there is a degree of individual choice even within individual clubs, so you can get custom shafts for example.

When To Use a Taylormade 5 Wood

Part of the decision process on which wood to get is based on you. Your size and your golfing ability. There are some areas though, where knowledge of the specifications that comprise a particular club are useful to have to hand.

Choosing the correct loft is important in a golf club. The loft that a golf club produces is an based on the angle of the club head. The greater the loft, the greater the angle on the club. This in turn means that the greater the angle, the more control you get at the expense of the distance you are likely to achieve with a shot.

The amount of loft required might vary from shot to shot of course, but in essence here is a summary of what to expect from clubs with different lofts.

• Generally, a club head loft is between 8-12 degrees. The slower you swing the club, the higher loft you will need.
• Slow swing - 10.5-12 degree loft
• Average swing - 9.5-10.5 degree loft
• Fast swing - 8-9.5 degree loft
