What we say...

Technology
JetSpeed Fairway Woods incorporate a radically redesigned Speed Pocket that’s smaller and accounts for less weight, while remaining just as efficient at boosting the speed of the clubface.

The improved Speed Pocket is filled with a polymer that keeps debris out, improving turf interaction while absorbing unwanted vibration without slowing down the clubface.

The weight saved by the new Speed Pocket design is redistributed strategically within the clubhead to move the CG lower and more forward, a location that TaylorMade has proven promotes faster ball speeds and lower spin. JetSpeed fairways and Rescues reduce spin by 200-300 RPM compared to previous models to promote more distance.

JetSpeed fairways also feature a low-profile head design that makes it easier to make contact with the clubface below the ball’s equator, making it easier to launch the ball on a high, long-carrying flight and easier to get the ball in the air off the turf. The combination of low-profile head design and Speed Pocket work together to make JetSpeed fairway woods the longest and most playable fairways TaylorMade has ever created.

Tested
As reviewed in our 2014 Fairway Woods Test – winner of our Bronze Award:
Slightly larger head than most and relatively shallow face. Confidence inspiring from the tee, not intimidating from tight lies. Fairly low to mid trajectory and impressive ball speeds. Larger head that sits a touch closed will please mid to high handicappers. Much more well balanced than the driver. Excelled from all lies, especially the range mat, launching higher than most with good distance. Really like the feel off the face, comes off fast. Shaft is the right weight – in the driver it’s too light. Easy to hit a soft draw.
