Callaway’s Quantum fairway woods are built to protect performance on imperfect strikes, particularly low-face contact, while the Quantum hybrids are designed as true long-iron replacements.
Cobra’s OPTM fairway woods and hybrids are engineered around optimised Products of Inertia (POI), a design philosophy focused on delivering greater stability, forgiveness and consistency through precise mass distribution.
The Mizuno JPX One fairway woods and hybrids look to improve ball speed through new high-strength steel faces and a redesigned channel in the front part of the sole that looks to boost flexing on heel and toe mis-hits.
The new XXIO 14 line-up of woods and irons, again with a lightweight construction geared to those with moderate swing speeds and smoother tempos, is the company’s most expansive yet.
The Titleist GT1 line-up of driver, fairway woods and hybrids continues the idea of bringing the technology of the mainstream line-up to players who are looking for more help with clubhead speed, forgiveness and higher launch.
The Ping G440 fairway woods and hybrids both utilise a new internal hosel structure that frees room for the face to deflect while saving mass that can be used to lower the centre of gravity for easier, more spin-efficient launch.
The Mizuno ST-Max 230 line-up of driver, fairway woods and hybrids makes the commitment to the largest footprints in company history in their respective categories.
The Cobra Darkspeed fairway woods and hybrids use an L-shaped face that wraps around the front of the sole combined with an internal weight bar that’s suspended like a bridge low and forward in the head to create the ideal blend of high launch and low spin with more speed all across the face.
The PXG 0311 Black Ops drivers, fairway woods and hybrids look to improve performance (higher launch, lower spin, more distance) through new designs made possible in large part by new alloys in titanium and high-strength steel that make these faces more efficient than past versions in the company’s line.
Fundamental to each of those offerings are the unique face designs that maximise distance and ball-flight needs for four distinct golfer groups, ranging from tour players to grandparents.
Cobra debuts the latest version of its Air-X line of clubs, including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons designed with lighter weights to appeal to more moderate swing speeds.
