Get a 5w and loft it down. Opens it way up. Sim2 or OG sim. Can get it down to 17*

Just about anything tour issue will have an open face.  Add some holt melt toe side and decrease loft through the sleeve and it's gonna be as anti left as it can get.

I picked up a Mavrik Sub Zero 4w this season.  I wouldn't necessarily say it is fade biased, but it doesn't go left unless I want it to.  And if I open the face a little, which is easy to do, it fades no issues.  I switched from the Taylormade M2 fairways because I couldn't consistently hit a fade.  I would probably say my new 4w sits more neutral, where the M2's sat closed.

As mentioned, pretty much any adjustable hosel 3w.  I gamed a Mavrik (non SZ) last year and found it very draw biased.  I switched to a SIM Max and found it more neutral (my hook was more my swing), but went to SIM2 and have it one click open.  Really helped tame my left miss out.

 

I am sure you could get very similar results with a TS/TSi fairway as well, they have a lot of adjustable options as well in their Sure Fit hosel, and more neutral "stock" bias.

The flatter the better if you're looking for more of a fade-bias.

 

A couple degrees of face angle may or may not help depending on impact characteristics, but the flatter lie definitely will.

Agreed! I have a g410lst 14.5* three wood and I'm a lifelong hooker.

 

When I put it to open and flat, it's as anti-hook as any golf club I've ever hit. So much so that I don't play it open and flat because I like to be able to turn over the 3 wood when needed.

Good to hear!

 

I was just thinking that Ping might be a real good option for the OP.

Sub 70 pro tour fairway is definitely fade biased. Toe weighted, 2 degree open and 56* lie angle. Added bonus it’s half the price of oem fairways

as others have said just buy a "tour" head and then de-loft it. It should start around neutral to slightly open, and then when you deloft the head it further opens the face

Mizuno MP Titanium. Designed as a players club with an open face, when released the word missing from the marketing was 'forgiving'.

The best player at my club played one for a short while. He hit a natural draw but couldn't get anything but a fade out of it.

It was released with the MP 630 driver, another club that was actually designed to take away the left-hand side.

Mizuno stz.  Also my exs pro 220 seems to be more neutral/open, and has weights in toe and heel to mess with. 
 

Taylormade 2016/2017 M1 3HL(16.5*) had adjustable hosel, so can loft down to 15(or more) to open face, and has sliding weight on the sole.
