Hot List
Best Fairway Woods of 2025
More than any other category, fairway woods embrace a diversity of shapes, sizes, metals (titanium fairway woods are back, baby) and other materials. It’s all in search of helping both elite and average golfers overcome “the hardest club to hit in the bag.” That characterization, however, may not apply much anymore. Lower centers of gravity, flexible faces and effective sole designs give more kinds of players confidence that a 200-yard shot off a fairway lie is not cause for panic. Here are the best fairway woods as determined by our Hot List process, which evaluates excellence across three criteria: Look/Sound/Feel, Innovation and Performance.
