Ping G5 Fairway Summary:
I've owned numerous fairway woods since started playing golf several years ago. But non of them have been my "Bread & Butter" club. Especially on the day my driver is off or on tight fairway situations. I was fortunate to find a pair of demo G5 3 and 5 wood on sale. So I tested them. G5 head size is perfect, looks great and gives me confidence at address. I had both of them reshafted with Graphite Design Tour AD Quattrotech and took them out on course for the 1st time. They were very impressive. I used the 3 wood at the T-Box on almost every hole. It was very "HOT" of the tee around 240+ yards. Control was superb. On the last hole PAR 5 my distance was sround 260 yards, further than all my friends who used their drivers!!!Finally I've found my "Bread & Butter" club. Similar Products Used:

ping G5 fairway 3 wood Summary:
The G5 3 wood, 15 degree loft with prolaunch shaft.......a great, solid club to have in the bag. Use this when the driver gets quirky and get decent distances with it (average about 250yds). The prolaunch shaft gives a high ball flight which is fine, great off the tee, off the fairway perhaps needs to be a 'fluffy' lie really as quite a deep face. Only one issue with this club is in the setting up, will quite regularly send this ball right(not a slice/fade) if dont take the time to really set the head up in the correct direction, maybe this is me or maybe the head is slightly distracting, either way, if you do take the time to set up correctly, you wont be dissappointed. Im not able to work a ball so cant comment on the clubs ability or otherwise to do this. Best results off the tee are with an easy swing and a low tee( 1/4"). Hope this proves helpful, would have had 5 stars but for the head set up issue

G5 woods Summary:
Very solid line of woods. It has Ping quality construction. Forgiving, easy to hit off the tee and off the ground. The 455 steel is springy and the ball jumps off the face. I previously had the Cobra SS and SZ offset woods and I wanted to move onto nonoffset models. The G5's were the right choice. The headsize gives me alot of confidence at address. I do agree with the previous reviewer that the alignment of top and bottom lines is a bit awkward. This doesnt affect the performance. Highly recommend these woods to all range of players. Customer Service:
Ping responds quickly to emails. Their club repair service is slow and overpriced. Similar Products Used:
Cobra SZ/SS (very nice), Ping Rapture (bulky, hard to hit off the ground), Cally X, Big Bertha 2006

ping G5 fairway woods Summary:
I've had the G5 3 and 5 woods in my bag for 2 season and loved em..Just recently added the 7 wood and never thought i'd ever do that. but I hit it high and soft 200 yards out of rough, something i'd never do with my 3 iron. They're fine fairway woods and very forgiving. If you are a Ping man you'll enjoy them no doubt. Customer Service:

G5 3-wood Summary:
I have never been a fan of fairway woods because I couldn't find anything that I can hit better than my long irons. Distance has never been a problem so I haven't worried about not having one. I ended up having an old set of irons I traded in straight up for this club and man is it awesome. It is very consistent and easy to hit. The deeper face makes it a breeze to hit off the tee and there is no problem taking it off the deck. The sound of this club is excellent as well, not fake, just solid. Considering I've never been able to hit fairway woods that well, this club must be different than the rest..in a good way. Similar Products Used:
