CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
0-18 handicap players with 85-110 mph 3W speed who want a class-leading 2022 fairway with the era's best feel and balanced GI performance at a value price.
You need 2025+ adjustability flexibility, you want a fade or draw shape (pick LS or Max sibling), or you're chasing the absolute longest tee shot.
Pros
- MyGolfSpy 2022 Most Wanted Fairway WINNER — above-average across distance, accuracy, AND forgiveness.
- The feel of the forged face is the most enjoyable of any new release fairway tested — the best feel of the 2022 class.
- Launch monitor testing: 140 mph BS / 231yd carry / 2,764 rpm spin — solid distance with low-spin character.
- Value pricing at £249 — meaningfully cheaper than the TaylorMade Stealth and Callaway Rogue ST competitors.
Cons
- Only two stock lofts (14.5° / 17.5°) and a fixed rear weight — limited adjustability vs successors.
- Distance is solid but not class-leading vs the Rogue ST LS or Stealth Plus tied at 251yd carry.
- Three years of fairway tech progress since release — recency drag is material.
- No movable weights — shape-bias tuning requires picking a different sibling (LS or Max).
By dimension
Forgiveness
Independent 2022 robot test: 1st overall — above average scores across all three scoring categories: accuracy, forgiveness, and distance. The PWR-COR weighting plus fixed 8g rear weight plus variable-thickness face insert with 15 zones protects ball speed across the face. Reviewer commentary: offers plenty of forgiveness on bad strikes. Class-leading era fairway forgiveness — best of the brand's 2022 fairway family by a clear margin.
Distance
Independent launch monitor testing: 140 mph average ball speed, 12° launch, 2,764 rpm spin, 231 yd carry. Reviewer commentary: shots fly high with relatively low spin — making it a perfect driver alternative. Independent robot test distance category above average. Solid era distance but not class-leading versus peer tour-LS models tied for longest.
Workability
Compact, subtle triangular head shape with no built-in bias — editorial review: traditional shape fairway wood with no rails. Fixed rear weight produces a neutral CG that responds to player input. Reviewer commentary: consistently high, straight, and long shots indicates a neutral baseline that shapes both directions. Above-average workability for a balanced 2022 fairway.
Feel
Reviewer commentary: the feel of the forged face is the most enjoyable of any new release fairway tested, with a thin, super-hot feel that gives great feedback. Editorial review: feels great, packs serious punch. Top of the era's fairway class for tactile signature — a clear standout per the editorial corpus.
Sound
Reviewer commentary: sound occupies a nice middle ground between a higher pitched metallic tink and a lower pitched flat thunk, with balls struck near the sweet spot sounding explosive though not overly loud. Editorial review: pleasant, family-platform consistency. Above-average for the era's category.
Looks at address
Editorial review: modern, sleek, and powerful with a compact head size and slightly triangular head shape with a contemporary matte finish. Reviewer commentary: clean, unbusy address profile. Premium presentation for the value price tier. Above-average for category.
