The Stealth Plus is a game changer IMO.  Longest fw I’ve ever hit and one of the most forgiving.  That’s a deadly combo.  Also super easy to hit off the deck and that was where I used to love the Callaway line up as they were so nice and flat on the deck.  The Stealth Plus has that heavy sole that glides off the turf for off the deck shots.  Off the tee- forget about it.  Super, super long.

Let me first start by saying that NOTHING will beat last years Callaway Epic Speed fairway wood!  Still in the bag and won’t come out anytime soon (although looking at Cobra right now)!  I have tried other ones and went back to EPIC speed three times!  Since it wasn’t on the list, I will go with my second favorite the TSi2.

The TM SIM2 Ti was the best Fairway Wood I’ve ever hit, so luckily TaylorMade didn’t try and re-invent the wheel here. They just made the Stealth Plus Fairways slightly better in every way, which will make my Plus 3W very tough to knock out of the bag!

Granted, I just got the PXG 0211 5 and 7 woods (3 woods are out of stock), but so far they hit well and are adjustable. My Honma's we're awesome, but not adjustable. And I'm still not sold on the feel of the Vizard shaft, but the performance was there.

I'd vote for two. Cobra LTDx in 7W @ 21* has been my favorite club in the bag at the moment. Gets me out of trouble so often. 

 

Callaway Rogue ST LS 3HL is probably the best 3W/4W I have hit. First fairway that I like the looks, sound and performance of. Usually one of those factors is off with a fairway but not this one

The Srixon zx line of fairway woods for me has been fantastic.   The 3 wood is easy to hit from the tee and the deck and 5 wood lets me reach some par 5s in two.   

Have not hit these outside yet, but they look perfect sitting behind a ball (for my eye). Need to pull the trigger.

Callaway nailed it this year with its Rogue ST series and the Apex UW.  I prefer a neutral, deep face with some explosiveness and a touch of forgiveness in a modest footprint. They look playable and the crown isn't a distraction. As a lefty, I want to be included in the party too. Nothing worse than finding out you can't have one in your bag. Will be interesting to see what's different in the TC if they make them available 🤑

TSi2 and TSi3. I play both. Love the consistency of the 2 and the power of the 3. 

 

I have experimented with other FW brands in the past few years (Ping, Mizuno) but I always come back go Titleist. Classic shape and feel with consistent results.

I hit my Ping G425 Max so pure. Baby draw every time and the numbers are so consistent.

Agree with PING 425.  Hit them so well I dropped the 3W and added 7W.  Distance between the 3W and 5W is negligible for an oldtimer (well not that old yet).

Previous FW were the M6's, they're awesome too, but the PINGS out did them for me. Still have them for my second set for visitors and travel.

I have only hit a few offerings, but I am a giant fan of the Rogue ST fairway woods.  Especially the LS and TD-T I picked up.  I can easily get those up off a tight or depressed lie---no tee required---with consistent tailing draws on both.  I found all easy to elevate, albeit lower windows depending on the model.

 

The G425 FW, I can't hit well at all.  It's weird.  Guess that's why we should really try before we buy.

 

I'd probably like the Titleist FWs as well, given I like my 910.  Have not tried though.
