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.
