The best fairway woods?

[dannybsj]

Looking for info on the best fairway woods out. Your thoughts. Am pretty much talking about head performance and not shaft. Looking for a hot face and a designt to get the ball up out of tight lies or moderate rough. Distance is important to me as is getting a higher ball flight. My x wood im using now is good off of a tee or with a good lie but face is too deep and wont cut through any rough really at all even the first cut is tough if its sitting down. Also same question but about hybrids. Thoughts on those will be greatly appreciated as I dont have a fitter around here and courses usually dont carry demos and they wont let you hit new ones.

 

Thanks in advance

The Nike T60 is tops for me. A very hot face that launches and long and high shot no matter what shaft you hit. Put about any Grafalloy shaft in it and you have a great club. I have three extra brand new ones for the future in the closet. But Im a little wierd like that. A dang pack rat :)

 

The SQ is also nice and a little easier out of the ruff and off of the deck but I still prefer the T60. Thats my 2 cents.

Just posted this in a different thread, but:

 

The Three I hit the best:

- Cobra SZ Fairway Wood - so easy to hit, almost highway robbery

- Nike T-60 - Solid feeling and great looking

- R5 FW - Long and straight, great club

 

Just one person's opinion.

Got to add a vote for the T60. Great club all around. I play mine with a stock fujikura shaft, great action.

T60 or SQ. If you need an SQ, let me know...

Titleist 904F, when I hit my Taylor Made 5 wood perfectly, the Titleist always went further, even when not hit on the screws.

Do yourself a favor and hit the Mizuno F-50 15*; you'll probably like it.

 

The Cleveland Launcher Comp 3W/15* is good also.

Add another for T-60.

[hayam]

Still Sonartecs .... tried others but still.

Nike T60

904F-Great club out of a variety of situations!

T-60 - looks deep, but just goes deep!!! #2 on my list. The 904F better treat me nice!!

Cobra SZ series.

 

Cant go wrong with any of these. THe sonartec is nice, but its best off the tee. Too deep faced for the turf.

Can't go wrong with TM V-steels. It is so easy to hit and has a penetrating trajectory. I would also recommend the adams RPM LP woods. I think they are the easiest woods to hit. It gets the ball up in the air no matter what. TM and ADAMS both have a thin shallow face, but SQ has kind of thicker face than TM and ADAMS.

 

1) TM V-steel

2) ADAMS RPM LP

3) ADAMS Ovation

4) NIKE SQ

sonartec

 

904F and T60 are close seconds

If you can't get the ball up out of the rough with an x 3 wood then you are REALLY going to struggle with other fw. I use my X-Tour 3 from everywhere. The head is compact and heavy enough that I can go down and get the ball out of almost any lie. I was even practicing hitting out of deep divots at the range last weekend. I purposefully hit shots like that with different clubs, irons etc. to give me the confidence I can do it and also that I can get good contact from any lie. Most people find them more difficult to hit off the tee because they are such low profile compared to most other 3 woods.

hands down 980f, even over the 904f. The 980 is about the longest and easiest to hit you will ever find. also the original callaway steelheads were good too.

One Word..........SONARTEC!!!!!!!!!!

 

sonartec=distance!!!!!

 

longest 3/4wd I have ever hit. Some times tooooooo loooooong!!!!!

[jzatl04]

I can't believe this post has gone this far without any mention of Tour Edge Exotics. If price isn't an issue ($350) you won't find anything to compete with this as far as distance is concerned, and that goes for any swing speed. Also, the head size is perfect (in my opinion) for hitting off the tee and off the deck. Tour Edge will order and install any shaft you want if they don't stock it, it just may take a few more days for the final product to arrive to you.

Need something with a shallower face?
