FAIRWAY WOODS N HYBRIDS: MAY 2008 GOLF BLING BLING

The Technology: Larger Head Volumes
Increases the Moment of Inertia by reducing twisting on off-center hits, resulting in straighter shots. Modified Consistent Alignment Sole:
The clubhead rests on two distinct areas of the sole, eliminating the tendency of the head to rock back and forth, helping ensure that shots start on-line. It also provides improved turf interaction from a variety of lies. Patented Callaway Golf Core Technologies: VFT Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2 increase discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead; and Tru-Bore provides improved feel and clubhead control. Longer, Shallower Face with Lower Leading Edge: Provides larger effective hitting area and ease in getting the ball airborne for optimum trajectory. The longer face (heel to toe) increases MOI while the lower leading edge increases confidence at address. |
THE SCOOP FROM THE SNOOP ON THE CALLAWAY BIG BERTHA FAIRWAY WOODS :
The Big Bertha 2007 fairway woods feature a longer, shallower face to make getting the ball airborne easier than ever. They also have larger head volumes to create a higher Moment of Inertia, inspiring more confidence at address and reducing twisting on off-center hits for more accuracy.

The Technology: The HiBore XLS fairway wood is 24 percent larger in clubhead volume, with a 19-percent larger face and "vastly increased" MOI, according to Cleveland, compared to the original HiBore fairway. The HiBore XLS hybrid has a more blunted toe and a more symmetrical face, a look at address Cleveland believes golfers will find more appealing, plus additional offset to help promote squaring of the face. |
THE SCOOP FROM THE SNOOP ON CLEVELAND HIBORE XLS FAIRWAY WOODS :
The Cleveland HiBore XLS fairway woods and hybrids all have the distinctive lowered, or scooped, crown that helps lower the center of gravity.

The Technology: The Mizuno F-60 fairway wood's ultra thin titanium crown and high-tech precision stainless steel face and body create a low, deep CG (center of gravity) for ideal trajectory and ease of launch. Cortech technology utilizes three variable face thickness areas to generate high initial ball velocity for consistent and accurate distance control. The increased face area and overall head shape deliver confidence at address and solid contact swing after swing, all with an elegant, traditional club head appearance with player preferred shape. |
THE SCOOP FROM THE SNOOP ON THE MIZUNO F-60 FAIRWAY WOODS :
The F-60™ fairway woods possess an extremely deep and low center of gravity, attained by the use of an ultra lightweight titanium crown. This titanium crown is affixed to the stainless steel body through a patented brazing process. In utilizing this technology, the COG can be strategicly repositioned, for the perfect blend of trajectory and ease of use. The Patented CORTECHTM multi-thickness face delivers a uniform face deflection for maximum ball speed and consistent and accurate distance control.
