3. Best fairway woods 2018: Titleist 917

Best fairway woods 2018

There has definitely been a bit of a double-pronged attack with this one as it’s a club I was fitted into nearly two years ago.

And my colleague Steve Carroll was fitted into it more recently for his season-long testing project.

I’ve always been a huge fan as I love the grey finish on the crown, think it sounds and feels fantastic and the numbers are great.

It also has the added bonus of the SureFit CG in the sole which can really fine-tune the flight.

Steve uses this club a lot off the tee as he can almost hit it as far as his driver and is very accurate with it. It’s probably the favourite club in his bag.

When a club has a lot of adjustability like (there’s also the SureFit hosel) this it can often take something away from the performance.

But from looking at the numbers, it’s right up there so there’s no trade-off from being able to get properly dialled in.

SRP: £225
