Really enjoyed this review. Agreed with almost everything you've said. I've tested a few of these models (SIM2, Epic speed/max, tsi2/3), and like you say, the G425 is exceptionally forgiving, straight and easy to hit off the tee and fairway. But the Radspeed is in a class of it's own. Absolute rocket off the tee, super easy to hit off the fw, and the rails from in the rough are a GODSEND! The rails are so underrated, it makes it close to impossible to hit heavy - cuts through the rough like magic. Price is an obvious advantage, but even if it wasn't, the performance for me has been incredible. Coming off a SIM 3w and Mavrik 5w, I'm upgrading both to the new Radspeed this season.

Good move. Have all 3 radspeed including the big tour which is awesome off the tee on tight holes. The 5 wood is a great club out of the rough. Enjoy them.

Wonderful review of these woods Joel ! I did add the Ping G 425 Max to the bag in a # 5 & # 7 Wood. I really love what Ping has done with them. Nice clean look, extremely forgiving and the shallow face makes it easy for me to hit. I find the dispersion is great and hitting out of the rough works well too. These to me are the best looking woods I have ever seen. Thanks for the great review Joel !

Many thanks for an extensive review👍 I am looking to replace my old & battered Diablo 3Wood this year and it certainly looks as though I have plenty of choices and everyone seems to be making a solid performing Fairway Wood this year. As a senior golfer, one of my main consideration is whether to chose a 3 or a 5 Wood. Getting the ball airborne when hitting from the fairway is definitely harder as I lose clubhead speed, so it may be a 5 Wood that is my best option. My personal preference would be the PING MAX because of its forgiveness, but I will defo try the Cobra as those rails may well help my less than perfect strike! Thanks again Joel👍

Thanks for your personal impressions. First, I would not use any 3 wood out of the rough if it covers the ball and is not laying up on a bed of Bermuda. Second, would not use it on severe lies above or below your feet. So what is versatile and is it important in a 3 wood? A 3 wood is good off a decent lie on the fairway or off a tee. If you have some trouble, use a 5 or 7 wd. And don't use a 3 wd that is a ridiculous 43.5 inches unless you are on the tee or gripping down off the deck. lol, And the over length recommendation goes to 5 and 7 woods - no more than 42.5 and 41.75 inches, give or take a quarter inch.

I’d honestly say that the Wilson D9 is the best value. It was average based on all of the models shown, and in some ways beats out the big boys. At £179 it’s not bad if you have a slower swing speed, but still capable of hitting decent distances (7 yards short from the longest drive). From an amateur point of view, 7 yards isn’t going to make me Tiger Woods…To each his own, but I’m going with Wilson if I’m in a budget. Now, with that being said, I do agree with the Cobra if you have the funds.
