“I've been reviewing 12 years, I've never got a fairway wood 331.”
Testing at Eleven Golf's facility with designer Nick, Alex hit this de-lofted 7-degree fairway wood 331 yards, the longest fairway wood he's hit in 12 years of reviewing, calling it a driver-replacement rocket at a bargain 199 pounds.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Hit 331 yards, driver-like distance from a 43-inch fairway wood
- +Very low spin (mid-to-low 2,000s) knocks distance-killing spin off high fades
- +Confidence-inspiring deeper 195cc profile versus thin modern fairway heads
- −Tricky to launch high enough for carry unless you hit up on it like a driver
- −Wilder dispersion than the 9-degree; can conflict with driver if driving is already a strength
For: Faster players who spin the ball too much, or high-slice/high-fade hitters wanting near-driver distance off the tee
