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 TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Wood combines advanced technologies for longer, playable shots. Its 3D Carbon Crown reduces weight for a lower center of gravity, promoting higher launch angles and improved forgiveness on off-center hits. The V Steel Sole technology features a curved leading edge that helps the clubhead glide smoothly through various lies, including thick, rough, and wet fairways.

The Stealth 2 is a forgiving club. It's made for the average golfer or beginner who has money to spend on a quality club. The focus on forgiveness and playability makes the Stealth 2 a good option for golfers with a developing swing who may not always hit the center of the fairway wood. So yeah, it's super easy to hit off the deck, penetrating flight, and has a great launch.

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.

The Ping G400 Fairway Wood is a high-launching fairway that features a maraging steel face with more flexion for added speed and distance. The C300 maraging steel is one of the strongest alloys in the world and delivers more flexing power for faster ball speeds and higher launch. The ultra-thin crown is equipped with Turbulators help to reduce aerodynamic drag. The weight saved in the crown is repositioned lower for increased moment of inertia and optimal center of gravity placement. The G400 Fairway has a lower leading edge that sits closer to the ground to enhance turf interaction and increase confidence from any lie.

“

Because the Ping G400 is a bit older (released in 2017), you can find them at an affordable price. The Pings are infamous for covering all the bases. This club is for shot-shapers, those who can control how they want to hit the ball. If you're going around a corner, this is the club for you. In my opinion, it's one of the best shot-shaping woods out there.
