Summary: This is just another great Mizuno creation. just absolutely beautiful club. has a low profile. the face is very hot. and it produces such a crisp sound when you connect. not the most forgiving fairway wood made, due to the shallow face. the distance this 5 wood gets is unbelievable. i was outdriving guys that were hitting driver. granted they weren't very good, but great tee shots with my 5 wood were around 245-255 yards, which is ridiculous. i'm of the personal belief that fairway woods should be played with a steel shaft. it gives you the best control. and that is what is most important when faced with long approaches. my 5 wood is equipped with a Dynamic Gold S300 .335 shaft tipped 4 inches. sounds like a lot, but it still feels a little whippy. just enough so it doesn't feel boardy. i can swing from the fairway knowing that it will go where i aim. i'm so tempted to drop my 3 wood, and add a 2nd driver. these are harder and harder to find, but the new mizuno heads, in my opinion aren't nearly as good as the blue rage. it is all the rage!

Summary: Bought this used earlier this season for 30 bucks. Great shape. Has a Garafolloy lite graphite shaft. Thi is the only 3 wood that I have ever been able to hit off the turf with any consistency. I stopped carrying a 3 wood for the longest time but was told about this one so I gave it a try. I have tried MANY "new and improved ones" over the past few years and this one is a keeper. For this price on ebay I am now looking for a back-up since this particular model is out of production. Looking for a 3 and a 7 as well. Heck, I could buy all for around 100 buck plus shipping and I hit them better than the new onew at $200+ each. Newer is not always better!
Similar Products Used: The newest and best from Nike, Cleveland, Callaway and Cobra. All were OK off tee, except Callaway Fusion - felt like a brick. Had difficulty with all off turf.

Summary: These woods have become my go-to clubs for tee shots when my driver becomes glitchy, which at my skill level happens quite often! I picked these up for a song last year (about $40 each), and all I really had to do was get used to the idea of teeing up the ball real low. When I make clean contact with either of these woods, the words that best describe the feeling are 'like butter'. Even with my 3/4 backswing I get about 200 yds with the 3W and 185 with the 5W. And both are usually straight or just a hint of fade. (I used the 3W to win the straighest drive award in our company tourney last year!) There is really no comparison between these woods and the Orlimar and Callaway that I tried and eventually sold. These Mizunos are staying in my bag until they break.
Customer Service: Have not had to use.

Summary: I have been reading reviews on this site for two years now and it has never let me down. I went out and bought this club off ebay brand new for around $100 and couldn't be happier. I was never good with my old woods of the deck, but with the blue rage I can easily hit it 230-240. It is one of the most consistent clubs in my bag, which allows me to go for those long par 5s and drop a few strokes from my game. I would recommend this club to anyone.
Customer Service: Never had to use it.

Summary: Because of this site's review, I bought this on ebay at $60 and, wow, it performs
better than my Sonartec and Taylormade. I hit a this 3 wood a good 220-230 yards carry. 10 yards more than my previous 2 clubs. The ball flight is slight lower, penetrating and dead straight. It has solid feel and I am using this on a tee for short par 4, especially those with narrow fairways and overhanging trees. I really like to feel and the compact head.
May trade in my Sonartec for a Cobra driver.
Customer Service: No idea.
