The TaylorMade SIM2 MAX Fairway Wood is designed for more distance, high launch, and forgiveness. Its V Steel design with ultra-low CG and multi-material construction delivers explosive power and optimal launch properties. The high-strength C300 steel face with Twist Face technology ensures straighter shots and maximum ball speed. The Thru-Slot Speed Pocket provides increased face flexibility and preserves distance, especially on low face strikes.

The SIM2 MAX Fairway Wood represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor. Its aerodynamic design and Speed Injected Technology aim to optimize ball speed and distance. Forgiveness? Oh yeah, and it’s got a slight draw-bias that helps a lot of players. The SIM2 MAX delivers consistent results and is particularly effective for players seeking maximum distance potential.

The TaylorMade RBZ fairway wood is a great option for mid-to-high handicappers or golfers who struggle with distance. Its large, deep clubface and Speed Pocket technology work together to generate high ball speed and long distance, while the lower center of gravity design promotes easier launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits. While not the most recent model, the RBZ fairway wood remains a solid choice for golfers who prioritize getting the ball airborne farther and straighter.

“

The RBZ has been in my bag forever. I have the driver, the three wood, and the hybrid. Although I love the game, I'm not the best golfer. This fairway wood is very easy for me to hit. The RBZ had one of the biggest heads ever at the time of its release in 2012. It’s very forgiving and great for beginners. And it's affordable too! I usually hit this instead of my driver out of the tee box. I get better results with my RBZ wood and don't slice it like I do with other clubs.

Designed for maximum forgiveness, the G430 Max Fairway Wood features a composite Carbonfly Wrap that allows weight to be repositioned for higher launch and longer distance. It also has a fixed tungsten backweight to ensure forgiveness on off-center hits. With its distance-boosting technology and forgiving design, the G430 Max is a great choice for golfers of all skill levels looking to add some extra yards to their game.

Ping coined the word "spinsistency" in its marketing, which describes the attempt to minimize the variation in spin rate depending on where you hit the ball on the face. Players who want more consistent distance control and predictable spin will love the G420 Max. This club also comes in an LST and SFT model. The 3-wood is great off the tee and the 5-wood is easy off the fairway. I’d recommend this club to mid to high-handicappers with a developing swing.

The TaylorMade Burner Fairway Wood has a mid-face height and forward CG providing a more controllable trajectory. The SuperFast crown alignment ensures easy alignment and squaring up through impact. The Burner combines the latest TaylorMade tech, including SuperFast for an easy launch, steel pull face construction for increased distance, and a shallow clubface for a high launch. This fairway wood offers exceptional performance and value for golfers looking to enhance their game.

The TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Woods are designed for maximum speed and distance. The advanced Speed Pocket technology dramatically increases ball speed, while the thick-thin crown design and low/forward CG promote a higher launch and lower spin. The lightweight shaft and grip enhance swing speed, and the matte-white finish and larger head make alignment easy and eliminate glare. With RocketBallz, golfers can experience extra distance and power.

The RocketBallz Fairway Woods bring a fun combo of distance and forgiveness to the table. With their deep undercut sole design, these clubs reduce turf interaction and give you that extra launch angle you’ve been chasing. The tech is all about boosting ball speed with a larger sweet spot. Now, while these may not be the most forgiving woods out there, when you square one up, the distance gains are no joke. Perfect for strong hitters looking to add some serious yardage to their game.

The Callaway Paradym Fairway Wood features a progressive design suitable for various golfers. Its key components include Jailbreak with Batwing Technology, which stiffens the body while allowing face flex for enhanced ball speed and distance. The Forged Carbon sole ensures excellent weight redistribution for increased forgiveness on off-center hits. Additionally, the technology boosts accuracy, promoting a stable ball flight that performs well in windy conditions.

“

The Paradym is super versatile from the tee or off the grass. It's harder to hit as the shape is more compact with a smaller overall sweet spot. It has a high launch, low spin, and neutral flight. More experienced golfers who want more distance will love this club. It also has the largest variety of options: three, five, seven, nine, and even an 11-wood…which is unusual.
