Does the face on woods tend to lose its "springiness" over time and therefore distance? I know there are varying factors ie quality of club quality of player how many times a week that you play.But what would a good life of a wood be roughly? Thanks.

Generally yes, woods tend to lose their springiness over time, however this depends on the kind of wood you buy, a good quality club will last a long time and take a fair amount of abuse before it starts to decline, a cheaper club (like a dunlop/john letters you would find at sportsworld as part of a cheap set) would not last as long.

depending on how often you played you can get a good 5 years out of a driver/wood, obviously if you play a lot and use a cheaper set you are likely to lose performance after a couple of years. In any case the face of the wood will start to show tiny cracks when its on the way out, this is before it loses its springiness

Thanks cazz,my woods are Petron and they must be at least 5 years old and until last winter I played all year round 2=3 times a week.But now once a week.As an old codger I'm finding lack of distance a problem now and I was wondering whether the club face could be the problem although I have been told it is more likely to be the shafts hardening,any ideas?
