GigaGolf PowerMax KC2 Fairway Wood
GigaGolf’s PowerMax Kc2 Fairway Woods offer a thin, hot faced technology in a very reasonably priced club. For as little as $38.50 you get a club with many of the technologies that make the name brand clubs so popular. The KC2 has a sole designed to work well in both rough and off the fairway, and it has four adjustable weights that allow you to configure the club to the ideal ball flight for your game. Better players will appreciate the neutral face angle, which allows a player to “work” the ball flight. If you’re a slicer or hooker, though, you can use the weights to compensate.
The PowerMax is a GigaGolf exclusive.
Acer XP 905 Tour
The Acer XP 905 Tour is a sharp looking set of clubs designed for the low to mid handicap player. It’s similar to the XP 905 with its undercut cavity and perimeter weighting. But it also offers design features for the better player, such as a reduced offset hosel that offers more ability to work the ball.
The face of the club is forged carbon steel that has been welded onto a 431 stainless steel body. This offers the feel of a forged iron at a fraction of the price.
Mizuno F-50 Fairway Wood
MIZUNO F-50 Composite Fairway w/ graphite
The Mizuno F-50 was a top pick for Golf Magazine’s 2006 Hot List.
While Mizuno has a reputation as a player’s club, the latest offerings from the company are designed to be easy to play. The F-50 Fairways, for example, have a composite crown that allow Mizuno to move toward what seems to be today’s Holy Grail of club design—moving the weight down and back in the clubhead. Mizuno also has tried to make the club more playable with a recessed sole design that it says makes it easier to cut through all kinds of lies.
GigaGolf Acer XP 905 Fairway Wood
The GigaGolf Acer XP 905 fairway wood combines a large face with a low center of gravity to help you get balls easily into the air. Meanwhile, the beveled cut sole design promotes stability through the swing. The cut around design is also supposed to help to redistribute the weight.
If you order this club from Giga Golf, you can get it custom made in your choice of ten different grips in two sizes and thirteen different shafts in four different flexes. You also can adjust the club length. Even better: like all of GigaGolf’s products, this one comes with a playability guarantee.
Pinemeadow ZR1 Fairway Woods
The Pinemeadow ZR1 Fairway Woods offer many of the features of the Ping G5 Fairway Woods at a fraction of the price.
The woods are built of stainless steel (not aluminum like a cheap Chinese knockoff). They have a low profile, and are designed to have a higher center of gravity. This helps you get the ball up faster at impact, increasing the chances of getting out of bad lies.
