New Fairway Woods are Played by Pros
Titleist started taking over the market when it introduced the Pro V1 and now it’s taking over the fairway wood market as well. I was extremely surprised when I saw that so many pros are playing Titleist fairway woods but those 906s are sure very attractive and easy to hit.
Cobra has been around for years but it’s still pretty weak in the fairway wood space. I couldn’t even tell you exactly what model their fairway wood is and I do this for a living!
Cleveland makes good fairway woods but they’ve been using the same launcher name for like a decade now. That name is so 1990s so marketing really needs some help. It’s confusing and I can never find the right clubs when searching on ebay.
Bridgestone Golf is probably pretty popular in Japan but we are in the United States. Over here, I have yet to see this company promote any fairway woods so no comment.
Adams fairway woods are more like hybrids than true fairway woods. If I were you, I’d stick with the major brands because your game may suffer. They do have some unique irons sets that you could be interested though.
Taylormade is killing the competition with its burner line. Now, there’s the r9 which is said to be pretty awesome too. It might be expensive though so try before you commit or else it will burn a hole in your wallet.
Lynx mainly sells through Golfsmith and it’s not a bad brand. I’m not too familiar with them though so your mileage may vary. However, it will probably be pretty consistent if you couple it with a good shaft.
Callaway golf is really hurting lately because people are moving away from its clubs. Lately, I’ve seen their fairway woods selling for $1! Of course, you have to buy their driver but still. It’s pretty much free.
Nike is a big brand with a huge budget. Tiger also helps develop their clubs so it will be a good choice. It’s fairway woods are the most popular among non diehard fans though because real golfers know better.
