Your Help required, i need a new 5 wood

The prosimmon 21 degree 5 wood I use as my Driver is probably the easiest club that i have ever used, it is starting to show significant wear and tear and i am considering buying another like for like 5 wood or up-grading to a better higher quality club.  But for an up-grade i would need to see a significant improvement on Carry distance off the tee.  Am i being reasonable to expect a 21* fairway wood to carry further than that which i already carry?

For me to make a reasonable assessment i require the following details if possible.

The actual carry distance of 2 or 3 selected clubs not including Roll

approx. degree of loft of selected irons

Your 21* fairway wood make and model, not a hybrid or rescue club, and the same details for your most consistent mid iron you hit 6, 7 or 8 iron and the degree of loft for these irons and the ball you use to get these distances.

I'm using 2007-08 version Pro V1x ball.

The Carry distance of my  Graphite shafted Prosimmon 21* is between 190 -200 yds off the Tee.

My Browning Mirage 7 iron has a loft of about 35* and a carry of 140 yds

Colin,

I suggest going to a store with an open range, trying a few and comparing them directly against your Prosimmon.All golfers are different and it's the only way you will find something right for you. 

• Loft can vary between manfuacturers ranges, let alone between manufacturer.  This will tell you nothing
• If you are hitting the same type of ball with each club, the ball type becomes largely irrelevant.  I hit a V1x slightly further than my current ball of choice - Z-STAR - but I get better control with the Srixon
• The shaft probably has as much, if not more, to do with roll:carry ratio as the kick point, flex, bend, torque, etc will define the flight path (Ivan is much better at advising on this than me)
