Best fairway wood of 2022: The top 5
1. Titleist TSi2
What Titleist says: “For players seeking incredible speed and accuracy across the entire face. A deeper, lower CG pairs with the new Active Recoil Channel 4.0 to produce a consistently higher, faster launch.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @MPAndreassi: “I have a TSi2 7-wood on the way. The launch and flight of them is unbelievable for me.”
- @XanderSingh: “I’m gaming the TSi2 4-wood and 7-wood. still messing around with shafts for both, but they are great performers and very easy to hit off the tee and the ground.”

2. Ping G425 Max
What Ping says: “In the G425 fairways and hybrids, two shared PING innovations known as Facewrap and Spinsistency combine to deliver more distance and spin predictability for carrying trouble and hitting greens. A tungsten sole weight increases the MOI in the stainless steel heads for added forgiveness. ”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @monkeyboy: “Added Ping G425 Max 3 and 5-woods with stock shafts about 4 months ago. After many range sessions and rounds, I can accurately say that these are the best fairways woods I have owned. I think the main difference for me is how flat they sit at address; it just works well for me.”
- @quizzylish: “It’s a very nice fairway wood, and it took me a little bit to get used to the very shallow face and head shape; the sound is very different too. It is very straight and maybe even draw-biased; I had a hard time trying to hit fades unless I feel like I make a ridiculous swing, like holding off my release. “
- @uglande: “And don’t sleep on the 7-wood. It’s so handy and does not balloon like I thought it might. Really nice high but powerful trajectory.”

3. TaylorMade Stealth Plus
What TaylorMade says: “Built from carbon DNA, the Stealth Plus fairway delivers precision playability and fast ball speeds using advanced multi-material construction. With a refined 175cc profile and reengineered V Steel™ sole, this fairway delivers the ideal blend of playability, shot making and distance.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @My2Dogs: “The Stealth Plus is a game changer IMO. Longest fw I’ve ever hit and one of the most forgiving. That’s a deadly combo. Also super easy to hit off the deck and that was where I used to love the Callaway line up as they were so nice and flat on the deck. The Stealth Plus has that heavy sole that glides off the turf for off the deck shots. Off the tee- forget about it. Super, super long.”
- @BallerNate: “The TM SIM2 Ti was the best fairway wood I’ve ever hit, so luckily TaylorMade didn’t try and re-invent the wheel here. They just made the Stealth Plus Fairways slightly better in every way, which will make my Plus 3W very tough to knock out of the bag!”

4. TaylorMade Stealth
What TaylorMade says: “Built from carbon DNA, the Stealth fairway creates high MOI performance and precision playability using advanced multi-material construction. The all-new 3D carbon crown allowed engineers to shift weight lower and deeper in the clubhead. With a larger profile compared to Stealth Plus (190cc vs. 175cc) and a refined V Steel sole, this fairway is the ultimate mash up of distance and forgiveness.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @ScottHutch2: “Picked up a stealth 3HL with kai’li 70x shaft. Took it out for a round with no range time and it was a straight up weapon. Legitimately hit it further than my TSi2 3W even with the additional loft.”

5. Titleist TSi3
What Titleist says: “TSi3 fairways feature a new SureFit CG track technology, offering three unique positions to adjust club head CG to fine-tune ball flight with neutral, fade or draw flight.”
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- @porynop: “TSi3 – picked it up off a WRXer because I was having issues with my gamer and it was instantly bagged.”
- @MH2: “I have found the TSi3 fairway very forgiving and easy to launch off the deck and an absolute beast from the tee.”

Three Swing Challenge: Testing the Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks A+ grind
![](https://www.golfwrx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Blank-1014-x-768.png)
The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”
