Best fairway woods 2022: Winners
Longest
Perhaps not the most important category given a fairway wood is generally a gap filler and you want it to play shorter than your driver. The Callaway Rogue ST Max, Titleist TSi3 and TaylorMade Stealth Plus were all equally impressive here.

- Titleist TSi3
- TaylorMade Stealth Plus
Most forgiving
It Cleveland Launcher XL undoubtable had the smallest dispersion in the test, while it is no surprise to see Ping also performed well here. The Callaway Rogue ST Max also impressed in this category.
- Cleveland Launcher XL
- Ping G425
- Callaway Rogue ST Max
Most draw bias
If you’re after something that tames your slice, the straight-flight technology in Ping’s G425 SFT is the best we have tested. This was closely followed by the Wilson Launch Pad and the TaylorMade Stealth.

Best feeling
Feel is always going to be subjective. The Titleist TSi3 has that classic soft player feel to it, but Callaway’s Rogue ST Max and the Cobra LTDx just feel so solid. Make sure you find a club you’re happy hitting.

- Cobra LTDx
- Titleist TSi3
Best looking
I love a classic looking wood and the simple gloss finish of the Titleist and Honma stole the show for me here. I was surprised by how much I liked the styling of the Cobra LTDx, but the compact shaping of the TSi3 edges it.
- Titleist TSi3
- Cobra LTDx
- Honma TW757
Best Value for money
It’s always hard to beat Wilson when it comes to value for money. They are constantly raising the bar when it comes to top-level performance without increasing their price tags. Perfect for those on a budget.

- Wilson D9
- Cleveland Launcher XL
