Amongst the most well known brands of fairway woods is Callaway – one of the leading manufacturers of golf products. Callaway fairway woods can be broken down into four distinct categories, where each applies to a specific player type.
Phil Mickelson is one of the best golfers on the PGA Tour, and uses the Callaway FT Tour three-wood to knock the ball from the fairway to the green. The FT Tour stands for Fusion Technology, the Callaway engineering that combines a stainless steel face and body with a tungsten-infused sole to produce a higher MOI and more effective center of gravity. They also offer an opti-fit weighting system that can be customized to a neutral setting for workability, or a draw setting for reducing the tendency to slice or fade.
Another PGA legend is Ernie Els, who uses the X Fairway Wood 19. The X woods have a larger head volume and a shallow but strong steel face to generate ball speed. It also features the X-sole design that gives the club its name and helps shots stay online. Graeme McDowell also uses this series, playing the Callaway Tour X fairway wood.
Next type of Callaway woods is the FT-i Squareway. As the name suggests, the Squareway clubs have a square shape compared to the other series of Callaway woods. The company advises that Squareway series boast the biggest forgiveness out of all their fairway wood series. Rocco Mediate has a Squareway 3-wood in his bag.
What about the lady golfers? Annika Sorenstam has Callaway woods in her bag. She has been seen playing the 15-degree Callaway Tour X fairway woods, and the 5-wood from the same series. She has won numerous competitions in the 2000-2009 decade using Callaway woods.
In addition, Cristie Kerr uses Big Bertha fairway woods. The Big Bertha woods have an all stainless steel clubhead with variable face thickness that results in both high ball speed and increased forgiveness. It’s another popular model with the pros.
