TaylorMade Burner Steel Fairway Wood
The TaylorMade Burner Steel Fairway is the last offering in this spring’s trilogy of Burner clubs.
Due out in late April, the Burner Fairway is said to have the highest Moment of Inertia (resistance to twisting) of any fairway wood in golf (and 30% higher than TaylorMade’s R87 steel). It features TaylorMade’s “SuperFast Club Technology” to give an extremely light total weight combined with a light and long shaft to promote faster swing speed for added power. Faster ball speed also is encouraged by the club’s pull face construction. A shallow design allows TaylorMade to pull the center of gravity lower and farther back from the face.
Command Q4 Fairway Wood
Designed to complement the Command Q4 Driver, the Q4 Fairway Woods feature a low profile design with added weights in the rear of the club. These weights are positioned to help improve trajectory while still maintaining distance.
With a classic look and feel, these clubs offer many of the features and benefits of the TaylorMade R5 Fairway Woods at a fraction of the price.
As with all Pinemeadow clubs, they come with a 30 day playability guarantee.
Bridgestone J33 Fairway Wood
I’ve really enjoyed playing the Bridgestone B330 and Bridgestone E6 golf balls this summer. In fact, the E6 is fast replacing the Callaway HX Hot as my go-to ball.
I like the balls, so I’ve become curious about the rest of Bridgestone’s line. Bridgestone, it seems is fast becoming the best full-golf products line that you haven’t heard much about.
Bridgestone’s J33 Fairway woods are constructed from 17-4 stainless steel and feature an elastomer compound insert that Bridgestone says produces a high initial ball velocity. It does this by reducing vibration throughout the crown, sole and face of the club. According to Bridgestone fewer vibrations result in more effeicient energy transfer. The clubs also feature a tungsten weight that moves the center of gravity lower and deeper in the clubface.
Cobra HS9 Fairway Wood
COBRA HS9 Fairway Wood w/ Graphite Shaft
Cobra’s HS9 Fairway woods incorporate the technologies of that have made Cobra’s drivers so successful—the nine points clubface, carbon composite integration, triple weighting and speed tuning. Cobra says that it has positioned the weight on the club to maximize carry distance, while using a “rhombus face geometry” to generate the largest fairway wood clubface available. The large face creates greater flex for mroe distance. The Triple Weighting System Triple Weighting System, Cobra says, is designed to promote the ideal ball flight and spin for your swing.
Ultimately, Cobra says, all of this designed to promote higher launch, and more distance.
I had a chance to hit several Cobra clubs at a demo over the summer, and I have to say that I am impressed with the mix of technologies.
Wilson Df6 Fairway Wood
WILSON Df6 Fairway Wood w/ Graphite Shaft
Wilson’s Staff’s new Df6 Fairway woods are designed with what Wilson says are massive hot zones that consistently deliver long distance. L-Pods in the rear of the clubhead are designed to produce a higher launch angle for high, soft shots. Behind the face, Wilson’s EFT Technolgoy is supposed to redirect energy back to the club to double the maximum Coefficient of Restitution (trampoline effect) zone.
