Perfect fairway wood for:
Golfers who want a high launching fairway wood with a neutral ball flight.

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.

Perfect fairway wood for:
Golfers who struggle with a slice or who are looking for more forgiveness on off-center hits.

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.
