Why do I hit my 5 wood further than my driver?

[nightrider1470]

Both the same flex. Am a high handicapper. I notice a really low flight with my driver which is 10.5 loft.

my driver is this one. Adams s speedline driver.

Even my 5 iron seems to go further

At a guess, ball to far back in your stance with the driver and therefore hitting down on it too much. You will struggle to get a good launch.

Always found I was better with a 5 wood than a driver, there have been the rare occasion where I've absolutely belted it (even had a green in one once!) but I'll hit 1 in 5 well with a driver and probably 4/5 with a 5 wood.

Could be the launch angle is higher and ball just flys further. Could be youre just not good with the driver as a lot of higher h/c players arent (no offence). Ball position , lack of confidence , attack angle , clubhead speed , ground conditions etc etc
