Tour Fairway Wood

The 917F3 is Titleist's compact fairway wood from 2016, and it was built for players who fight spin more than they fight forgiveness. Where the 917F2 gives you a larger, rounder head with a taller face, the F3 shrinks everything down into a deeper, more pear-shaped profile that sits close to the ground. That shape is the whole point. It launches lower, spins less, and gives you a flatter, more penetrating ball flight off the tee and out of tight fairway lies.

Two adjustable systems do the heavy lifting. SureFit CG uses a cartridge weight in the sole that lets you shift the center of gravity toward a draw or fade bias, and SureFit hosel gives you 16 independent loft and lie combinations. So you can dial in a lower flight, tune the shot shape, and match the face angle to what your eye wants at address. The Active Recoil Channel 2.0 across the sole flexes at impact to protect ball speed on shots you catch a groove low on the face.

This is not a club that hides your misses. The smaller footprint asks for cleaner strikes than a game-improvement fairway wood, and in return it rewards you with control and a flight you can trust into firm greens or a stiff wind. If you already hit your 3-wood well and want to take spin off it, the F3 makes sense. If you need help getting the ball up, look at the F2 instead.

• Better ball strikers who spin their fairway woods too much and want a flatter, more controlled flight
• Players who use a 3-wood mostly off the tee and need something that bores through wind
• Golfers who prefer a compact, pear-shaped head that sits tight to the ground at address
• Anyone who wants to fine-tune shot shape and face angle through the SureFit CG and hosel adjustments
• Faster swing speeds that already produce plenty of height and don't need help getting the ball airborne

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What's the difference between the 917F2 and 917F3?

The F2 has a larger, rounder head with a taller face for higher launch and more forgiveness. The F3 is smaller, deeper, and shallower, so it launches lower and spins less. Pick the F2 if you want help getting the ball up, the F3 if you want to take spin off and flatten your flight.

How adjustable is the 917F3?

Two systems. The SureFit hosel gives you 16 independent loft and lie settings, and the SureFit CG sole cartridge can be rotated to shift the center of gravity for a draw or fade bias. That lets you tune launch, shot shape, and face angle separately.

Is the 917F3 good off the deck or just off the tee?

Both, but it favors cleaner strikes. The shallow face and flat lie help it sit tight to the turf on fairway lies, and the Active Recoil Channel 2.0 protects ball speed on shots caught low. It's excellent off the tee for a penetrating flight, and it works off the deck if your contact is solid.

Who should avoid the 917F3?

Golfers who struggle to get fairway woods airborne or who need extra forgiveness on off-center hits. The compact head and low-spin design ask for a cleaner strike and enough speed to produce height on their own. Slower swings will usually get more out of the F2.

What loft options did the 917F3 come in?

The F3 was offered in 13.5 and 15 degree heads, and the SureFit hosel lets you adjust each up or down by about 1.5 degrees. So a 15 degree head can play anywhere from roughly 13.5 to 16.5 degrees depending on the setting you choose.
