'EASY TO CONTROL'
Strengths:
Very forgiving
Long
Straight
Spin on shorter woods
Widely available
Overall:
I have the original 3 wood and have just purchased the version 2 5 wood. Both with standard steel shafts.
The 3 wood I have been using since Christmas, it put 20 - 30 yards on a very old 3 wood i used to have. I tend to use it more than my driver and it likes to be hit straight, but even slight off centres travel well. Just be careful to to hit it to high with tee shots as had a soft landing.
I'm not sure if I prefer the version 2 or not, after getting used to it is alot softer on landing, which is great for the greens.

'SUPERB FROM TEE AND FAIRWAY'
Strengths:
It is very difficult to hit a truly bad shot with the 3-wood. Great feeling from the clubface.
Weaknesses:
None
Overall:
You can pick these up at very reasonable prices for a quality club.My 15 year old son borrowed it for a round, and now he wants one! I rarely use a driver now, because you get great distance and superb accuracy.

'DISAPPOINTING'
Strengths:
Distance on well-timed shots was amazing on the 3w and 5w. more comfortable with the 5w average distance... 220-245yards! More like a driver
Weaknesses:
Surprisingly the face! Only had the 5w for about 5 months and split the face along the top score line. TM were very good and replaced it but now afraid to use it! Steel Stiff shaft made the distances too erratic. 3w previously owned by a friend but used sparingly for 10 months (bought before the 5w split), has now collapsed also, this time the face has just depressed right in the centre. The club is not that old but do not think I can send it back as I decided to treat myself last month and had my irons and 3w reshafted at Precision Golf so I do not think TMs warranty will stand.
Overall:
Overjoyed with the inital gain in distance but too inconsistant. Shocked that I've had two faces break!

'QUALITY CLUB WHICH ONCE USED BECOMES A FAVOURITE.'
Strengths:
Quality of manufacture. Well constructed and looks good behind the ball. Easily used with consistant results.
Weaknesses:
The grip is TM and detracts from the other quality components used in the club.
Overall:
Good club which has a consistant performance and would be suitable for all handicaps. Can be bought for £90 on the net so real value compared to others.

'CONSISTENTLY GOOD RESULTS, GOOD FROM TEE, TOO!'
Strengths:
Sits well behind ball, very consistent. Even mis-hits get OK results. Nicely balanced.
Weaknesses:
The "Lite" shaft does'nt like being thrown around - bends easily!! probably better with a Dynamic Gold shaft.
Overall:
Great club, love it. Got it at a snip due to a trade-in. Would like to compare it with the graphite version.

'TOP WOOD'
Strengths:
Disgustingly easy to use from any lie. Good distance (not as long as the big bertha's though. Great looks.
Weaknesses:
Not as good off the Tee as the callaways.
Overall:
These are truly great woods. As I said above they are not as good off the Tee as some clubs, but most people use fairway woods for fairways!! and for that there is nothing better.

'OFF IT GOES AGAIN!!'
Strengths:
Ease of use, good looks, forgiving hit area(especially off the ground)
Weaknesses:
Non really comparitively. Maybe not the longest 5 wood out there but one of the cleanest hitters
Overall:
Time and again its a straight shot. 3 wood as an excellent low trajectory
5 easy of the deck
Regain faith in the mid wood!
