I replaced my 3 wood with a 4-5 Cobra Wood best thing I ever done because I hit it straighter and further

I go for the 5w de-lofted for a shorter shaft as easier to hit and as I don't like a closed head, which will happen if you go up in loft with a single cog adapter.Is it better to have a 5 wood adjusted for 4 wood loft or a 3 wood adjusted for a 4 wood loft?
Thanks for the insight. I'm now not sure if my 3 wood order was the best decision since my miss is a pull. I didn't realize that going up on loft closes the head, which I probably should have known..luckily I have 90 days to swap it out with something else if it doesn't work out.I go for the 5w de-lofted for a shorter shaft as easier to hit and as I don't like a closed head, which will happen if you go up in loft with a single cog adapter.
On the other hand, if your miss is a slice you might want to go up in loft with a 3W. Or better yet, if you can, find a fixed loft brand 16.5 or 17 club with square head and shaft that fits you. Off the top of my head Tour Edge, Callaway, Taylormade and Titleist (TS2) make fixed hosel 16.5 or 17 degree clubs, some may be non-current models. Also earlier Ping ones. I played the G25 16.5 4 wood for a couple of years; length is 43" same as the 3 wood.

Would love to hear feedback if you end up going that route - I'm going the opposite way (3 wood lofting up to 16 or 17 deg), seriously considering going back and changing mind.I was thinking buying G410 5 wood at 17.5° and cranking it down to 16°. Has a 42.5” shaft.
I'm curious to see if anybody's had this experience. I've only been able to hit the 3 wood off the tee since I can never seem to get it in the air off the turf consistently, most likely due to my low swing speed.
I've heard that some have had better success going with a 4 wood instead but don't know anybody personally that's done that. Would love to hear thoughts and/or experiences in making the switch.
I read where some folks have also gone with the longer 3 wood shaft. Not for me though. Firstly it adds about 3 points swingweight and I'm sensitive to that, plus I think shorter for better contact is better. Hopefully you can demo the options, including the non-standard shaft options.I was thinking buying G410 5 wood at 17.5° and cranking it down to 16°. Has a 42.5” shaft.
