CALLAWAY FT-i Squareway Wood with Graphite Shaft

Squareway Wood. Cute name.

Callaway’s “Squareway” design is supposed to position more discretionary weight to the corners of the clubhead, raising the moment of inertia for straighter, more forgiving shots. The club has a stainless steel face, sole and body with a lightweight carbon crown, allowing even more weight repositioning than the shape alone would allow. Callaway engineers have also made the clubhead oversized, for even more stability and accuracy.

If you can get over the odd shape, this might just be the thing for your fairway wood woes.

ZR1 3 Wood

Pinemeadow expands its ZR1 line of clubs with a ZR1 Three Wood. Pinemadow says that features like the improved striking area and classic shape make this one of the most forgiving and easiest three woods to play. Even better—you can get it in a variety of custom lengths, shafts, flexes and grips for as little as $49.

C9 c455 Metals

The new Cloud Nine fairway woods from GigaGolf feature a forged variable face thickness design executed with Carpenter Steel’s justifiably famous c455 steel. Compared to similar designs from Ping, these are a good value, with price starting as low as $39.

GigaGolf P2 Fairway Woods

The 2008 GigaGolf P2 Fairway woods are designed with the popular new low profile design that’s supposed to help on even the tightest lies. The shallow face actually lowers the center of gravity, allowing you to get behind the ball and get it quickly up on the air. They come in 3, 5, 7 and 9! woods (good for GigaGolf. Most companies don’t offer the 9) and are constructed from 17-4 stainless steel.

GigaGolf also points out somewhat humorously that:

The black on silver finish is easy on the eyes too. Somewhat in contrast to the oh so colorful offerings by the nationally advertised tour player endorsed brands. A good choice for players who would not wear orange socks nor play with an orange fairway wood.

But the best part is the price and the guarantee. You can get one for as low as $30 and they come with a 30 day playability guarantee.

GX Squared Fairway

The GigaGolf GX Squared Fairway takes the principles of squared drives and applies them to a fairway metal. The square design moves the weight to the outside, resulting in a high moment of inertia. The crown and sole are constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, while the face is forged in Carpenter 455.

Best of all is the price. You can have this club—along with Gigagolf’s playability guarantee—for as little as $49.
