Well for the fairway wood I'd go with the TaylorMade V Steel - because they aren't $150 anymore, you can buy them all over for $99.99 - price dropped a few weeks ago.

The sonartec is the best fairway wood in my opinion, unless you want mucho forgiveness. For a driver I would get a used launcher comp or r5 dual from a good used shop or a reputable ebay seller.

Either one of the Launchers on the driver (make your wallet decide).

TM V-Steel rocks!! I can't recommend this club enough.

$150 driver - gotta go with Mizuno MX500. (and I've hit every driver mentioned in this thread)

(Bang and Alpha drivers are even better, though)

Fairway woods - I couldn't agree more with TM V steel. That's my 3 wood and 5 wood, and have been for some time.

As much as I like those fairway woods, I never could develop an affinity for any TM driver.

Focus on the right shaft first. This is more important than the head. The heads you listed are all good. I like some other clubs, but to each his own.

Try out the club wherever you can and then buy the club, shaft, and loft combi that you like best on Ebay.
