7 Wood Review

[Jodee Bouman]

AustralianWood Review is Australia's premier woodworking and woodcraft magazine and covers everything the recreational and professional woodworker needs to know to help them create beautiful and inspired works from wood.

Great forgiveness, especially when it comes to putting air under the ball due to a shallow face and some weighting EXTREMELY deep in the head. Like other G series clubs, the size inspires confidence. Excellent off the tee and good fairway lies. Excellent stock shaft choice.

Lastly, I agree with the author of this review that the G20 is very easy to get the ball in the air. Even with the Tour shaft, I never once hit a low shot off the turf. And like the review author noted, if you tee the ball up, you can get driver-like performance from the tee box.

Absolutely love this club. I tried out all of the top 3 woods at golfsmith for almost two hours before I decided to buy this one. Consistently hit it 10 yards further and on center line. Great feel and am now very confident with my 3 wood. I would recommend

After testing a handful of 3 woods, I ended up buying the ping g20 with the tour stiff shaft. Amazing club! First swing I took with it this past weekend I put a bomb down the center of the fiarway! I would reccomend this club to anyone.

The best way to determine the best fairway wood, therefore, is to pose that question to golfers who have hit them all and let them decide. Thus, we have Members Choice: The Best Fairway Woods of 2017, where GolfWRX Members describe their experiences with the latest fairway woods. With in-depth descriptions from their testing, GolfWRX Members illuminate the pros and cons of each fairway wood, providing the real information you need when making your purchasing decisions.

Our advice when reading through this story is to think about what you want from your fairway wood. Do you want max distance, max forgiveness, or a combination of both? The feedback from GolfWRX Members on each fairway wood will lead to toward a few models that match your needs and desires. Then test them out for yourself. Everyone interprets the performance of golf clubs differently, so personal testing and professional fittings are imperative, especially in this particular category. View the full results from the poll testing here.

Pros: Dialing in trajectory and spin is more in the hands of the player than ever with SureFit CG adjustability. Feel and sound have improved, and 915 users will likely see a jump in distance.

As with the 917 drivers, the 917 fairway woods have SureFit CG technology to give golfers the ability to tweak the draw/fade bias of the clubs. In the fairway woods, the SureFit CG system is also positioned slightly crooked, as seen in the driver, which has the same purpose; lower-spinning fades and higher-spinning draws. When in the draw position, the weight system will add spin to keep the ball in the air longer, and will decrease spin in the fade setting to keep shots from ballooning. The design also maintains the moment of inertia (MOI) of the fairway woods, keeping forgiveness high regardless of the weight setting.

In the SureFit CG system, weight is changed using interchangeable weights* or tubes, made of a mixture of different materials. The neutral weights have a uniform weight throughout, while the draw-fade tubes have a heavier side.

On the course is where the M2 fairway wood really shines. Off the deck, I was getting great numbers on the simulator, but on the course I was hitting the M2 places where I have never hit a 3 wood before.

Overall, they are pretty similar fairway woods. When hitting the fade shot on the simulator, they were almost identical. Both have great ball speeds, both are forgiving, and both pretty easily hit that shot.

But on the course, the M2 ended up being a better club for me. The Vapor Fly has an open face angle, and it is harder for me to work shots both directions. I can hit fades with it all day, but I struggle to square the face and hit draws with it. The best hits on the simulator showed the M2 as the longer of the two, and that showed up on the course as well, especially off the tee. I thought I loved an open face, but it ended up not being good for me overall and my testing proved it.

In my quest for the perfect fairway wood graphite shaft I was initially skeptical about the stock Ping TFC (Tip Flex Control) 129 F, stiff graphite shaft. Upon first swing however, I was pleasantly surprised at how fluid feeling this TFC shaft really is. It seems to fit my swing speed profile to a tee. If you see yourself as stuck between regular and stiff, this shaft could be the ticket to increased accuracy for you. If you are a faster swinger with some serious clubhead speed, you will want to get in touch with the Ping WRX custom department to see what your options are for upgraded, stiffer graphite shafts. The TFC stiff shaft provides a nice, climbing ball flight without any of the ballooning that I was experiencing with my Nike T60 fairway woods. In fact, this shaft /club offers the same or better distance than my old 3 wood and with a higher loft!

The Ping G10 has a somewhat shallow face that allows it to catch the ball cleanly from practically any lie, expecially those that are tight or thin, like hardpan. Tee it a little bit lower, and it launches off the tee without hesitation. Although the shallow face appears to make it more difficult to hit from the teebox, I really did not experience any difficulties here other than those caused by my own swing inconsistencies. I play to a 15 handicap and I like to utilize fairway woods off the tee regularly, especially on those tight, par 4 holes.

Just bought the club not sure what the original price is for this particular club I paid $15 its never been used I still havent used it yet thos is my first wood that has set shaft in my golf bag iv never had to use them I can usually get my targt with my irons but cant wait to use it

Replaced my 6 year old tight lies two with this club and the difference is night and day. I have hit the G10 4 wood off the tee, off grass, and off bare dirt, and it performs well in all those conditions. Both the club head shape and weighting, and the TFC shaft, appear to be real winners.

What makes the G400 fairway wood unique is that it pairs an easy launch with a very strong ball flight. My shots climbed quickly to their peak and settled into a boring trajectory. The spin is fairly low, so there can be quite a bit of distance gained on the roll, too.
