– the 3-wood that thinks it’s a driver “Normally you get a huge loss of distance with fairway woods due to a very high spin rate, a low launch angle from the steeper angle of attack, and weak ball velocity from a small face with little fl exibility,” explains chief technical offi cer, Vincent Benoit. His high-tech solution includes a centre of gravity moved boldly forward to complement downward strikes and a larger face made more fl exible by the distinctive sole ‘speed slot’ designed to break the elusive 0.80 COR barrier for a 3-wood. As Dustin Johnson and Darren Clarke have testifi ed, the result is a club that goes 15-25 yards further than the Burner it replaces. £179. • www.taylormadegolf.eu
