Dunlop Loco W Golf Fairway Woods - Reviews

On 2006-12-13, The 13th Warrior rated this Dunlop Loco W a 5...(7553)

Details: Blue Head, Really Yellow Harrison Striper Shaft, 21 degrees

Purchase: I paid $69 for it at Golfsmith.com.
Pros: I like the price. I like the durability and I like the length and forgiveness. I have read other reviews about the Loco series and they pretty much put the Dunlop brand down. It may be a K-Mart club, but it is the best of the retail chain clubs. I bought a 7wood three years ago as a trouble club and it has never left the bag. It is unusually long. So, I recently purchased the 5 wood. I don't know what 'Hyper-Steel' is, but it will compress any two piece balls, any range ball and probably 8 on the Moh's scale rocks. I guess if you have $200 for a club it is okay to buy it, but when you break a club like this you just throw it away, like a Timex watch. There is a place for this type of club. If someone is starting out and needs a quality set of woods, the Loco's will not break the bank and will perform well. You will never look in the mirror and question your intelligence for spending $60 for a club that will go 245 yards off the tee. You could hit a $300 club worse. If you are a competent golfer and play in an extreme environment, large waste areas, desert, rocks, etc. than try the 7 or the 5. They won't disappoint from anywhere and because they are built like a battle axe it might have a positive effect on your swing if you know it won't matter if you nick it up. I paid $15 for the 7 wood on ebay. They are heavy, but I like that, you can feel the head and a smooth swing produces results that look suspiciously like results from a much more expensive club.
Cons: Very loud yellow Harrison Striper shaft and a puny and easily worn out Winn grip. Keep the shaft, lose the grip.
Quality: Industrial. Not a swiss watch, more like a Timex. But, it will work.

Review Summary: This is a serviceable golf club. I have a Taylor Made R7 driver and Mizuno irons and wedges. With fairway woods and hybrids, I go low bid and why not, when this technology depreciates faster than anything except an automobile from Detroit. It's hard enough to save money and play golf. When you can: Save money, play golf!
