Despite no obvious adjustability, these woods won’t really exclude many players of differing abilities or swing speeds – the performance levels are that nuanced. These clubs are well worth the acclaim they’ve been steeped in, and we’d definitely recommend giving them a test drive.

The Z F65s is our Editor’s Choice of Fairway Wood for 2017.

The Triaxial carbon crown and face cup technology are primarily to thank for this with it making the overall weight of the head lighter than you may be used to.

In testing we found the Epic fairway really easy to hit from just about anywhere and this is a massive positive. It’s one thing hitting your fairway wood well from the fairway, but far too often we are in either the first or second cut of rough (if not the hard pan).

Some of you might not really like the feel, but it grew on us tremendously after hitting hundreds of balls with the Epic fairway. A slight thud or thwack with solid feel. It’s pricey at $270, but let me tell you something – it’s worth it!

An innovative design, backed up by consistent and impressive results. What more do you want?

Callaway have set the bar high over the years when it comes to fairway woods, but these may well be the best ones yet. Undoubtedly a best seller among mid to high handicap players and just has so much to offer.

Its predecessor had a solitary weight lower and further back in the clubhead whereas the F7 provides moveable weights of 3 and 20 grams in the sole. These offer you the option of sparking a lower or higher launch and trajectory, which for the better golfer is wonderful. But if you’re a mid handicap rather test out the weight settings, see which suits best and then stick with it.

The rail system concept keeps the clubface squarer through impact resulting in straighter launch and general direction. But there is only so much that the rail system can do, and, at the end of the day, consistency will always be hardest to achieve with fairway woods.

But we’re converts to the rail system (which surprisingly dates back to the mid 70’s can you believe it) and we think that for players from quite a wide range of handicaps, there are great results waiting to be enjoyed here. Not to mention the price point they’ve come in at – exceptionally good price for a modern day fairway wood and plenty to like about it.

The M2 provides absolutely everything for you – all of forgiveness, distance, playability. Not to mention how good it looks with the split white/black crown. The best thing though is the versatility. If you need to negotiate a tight Par 4 hitting it off the tee or if you need to come in as high as possible into a narrow Par 5 green over water then this has your name on it. The adjustability options are simple – and that is just what we like. Noted it is nice to have a heap of options at your disposal, but it’s also nice to just have less to think about and just focus on hitting the ball.

The reason behind the distance is the Speed Pocket behind the clubface which enables the face to flex slightly at impact providing more of a springy effect.

Lastly the feel off the clubface through impact is absolutely beautiful. It just makes you want to hit this club as much as possible throughout the round and it also provides a slight psychological confidence boost.

All in all the M2 is a fantastic fairway wood that has been seen in many a PGA Tour player’s bag and for good reason. It ticks all the boxes. Give it a bash and see the results for yourself – you won’t be disappointed.

The F2 woods have plenty to offer. The fullish shape of the clubhead, combined with easy, high launch makes it a suitable metal both off the tee and on the deck – which I find to be one of the deciding factors when choosing a fairway wood. It also does an excellent job of instilling weight-based versatilities for things like CG and fade/draw bias, while still retaining good balance across the various settings.

Higher handicappers will be charmed by improved user friendliness compared with some of its predecessors too. Yet while it is difficult to criticize anything about the F2, there was nothing to really set our lives on fire either; nothing especially memorable.

And it doesn’t come cheap either. One of the most expensive fairway woods on the market so keep your options open unless you have already made up your mind that this one is for you. Otherwise there’s better value to be had elsewhere.

Rather than a slightly rounded leading edge, the G has a straighter edge which assists with a better strike through impact delivering more consistent and better shot results. You’ll likely take a small divot through impact even, but don’t worry – that is how this fairway wood is meant to be hit!

The crown of the club has been lightened by 25% which has allowed Ping to shift more weight towards the sole. Together with a higher MOI the G has a beautiful launch and optimal spin seeing the ball stay in the air slightly longer than you may be used to.

It is long – that is a given. But the versatility and workability is what we love the most. Being able to strike it with confidence and shape it either way at the drop of a hat.

All in all the Ping G offers good value and a wide range of golfer is accommodated rather than being targeted at only the lower or higher handicaps. Great club.

The latter system is crucial for a fairway wood, as it allows you to seamlessly use it off the tee and from the deck, and bridge any distance gaps to boot. But, customization aside, the levels of performance were impressive across every metric, and we can confidently say that these are the best woods Mizuno have produced to date.

The Callaway Great Big Bertha Fairway Wood isn’t so much focused on distance as it is on playability and ball flight. The Warbird sole plate allows for a wonderfully clean strike and very seldom do you find yourself striking the ball off the bottom of the clubface. If you’re ever playing somewhere with tight fairways then fear not – you’ll actually be more keen than ever to tackle the challenge.

The adjustability isn’t overboard in terms of options, but 8 different lie/loft pairings are more than enough to keep you happy. One of the best factors about the GBB Fairway are that the launch has a mid trajectory and is beautifully penetrating. Too high a flight and it balloons and too low a flight and it doesn’t carry far at all. This fairway wood is perfect in terms of launch angle.

The Great Big Bertha fairway is versatile and also feels fantastic on center strikes. Without doubt one of the best value fairway wood on the market in our opinion.

It is an expensive choice, but the King Ltd is POWER in a nutshell. Undoubtedly the longest fairway wood we have hit to this point – and the distance boost is just so addictive! The added distance is a result of the spaceport which has been placed fairly deep and low in the clubhead subsequently launching the ball higher with a powerful trajectory.

What is even better is that there is superb forgiveness and the feel off the face between a great strike and weak strike is not as striking as some of its competitors. You can’t work this fairway wood as much as say the Titleist 917F2, but there is enough workability to be satisfied.

The diamond checked tone on tone crown is also quite a nice touch and stands out from the crowd.

If you struggle with confidence in your fairway woods and looking for a bit more length then this has your name on it.

A Players club. All the factors that the good ball striker will really appreciate and use to their advantage! Everything from workability to distance to consistency. If you’re a low handicap player this targeted at you in particular. It provides a beautifully high launch yet still penetrates and carries exceptionally far.

Not to mention the feel off the clubface at impact. Despite the ever so slight tingyness, there is still enough meat behind the golf ball to reward you when striking it out the middle.

Even though a newer model (Titleist 917F2) has been released since – the 915F provides an opportunity to give even more value than its successor.
