Technology

High Launch

Max Game Improvement Fairway Wood

Max game-improvement fairway woods are the most forgiving woods made - draw-biased, highest launch, and built for players who struggle to get the ball in the air consistently.

Built for high-handicappers, seniors, and beginners with swing speeds under 75 mph who miss to the right and need maximum help launching the ball.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does draw-bias mean in a fairway wood?: Draw-bias means the weight is shifted toward the heel, which promotes a slightly closed face angle at impact - reducing a slice or encouraging a draw for right-handed players.
Should a slower swinger carry a 5-wood or 7-wood?: For swing speeds under 70 mph, a 5-wood or 7-wood is usually more consistent than a 3-wood. The extra loft makes it much easier to launch from the fairway.
What shaft flex is right for swing speeds under 70 mph?: Senior or Ladies flex. These shafts load and release more efficiently at slower tempos, adding both distance and consistency compared to a Regular flex.
Can a faster swinger use a max GI fairway wood?: They can, but the draw-bias and high launch tend to create a hook and too much spin at higher speeds. Players above 85 mph typically find game-improvement a better fit.
