(760) 930-2454 | $250
 Sonartec’s Driving Cavity design lives on in the company’s two standard
offerings, both of which provide explosive power at impact.
Features: Driving Cavity technology creates a CG that provides low spin
rates and a powerful, boring trajectory. A Fujikura Tour Platform shaft
is standard.
Advantages: The weighting scheme and compact head size make for one of
the most powerful fairway woods ever made. The SS-2.5 features a more
low-profile design and lower CG, while the SS-3.5 has a deeper face for
more boring shots.
Benefits: Accomplished players can really make the most of Sonartec’s technology.

heel, as well as a low CG placement and thin and strong maraging-steel

toe strikes, as well as a powerful, driving shot trajectory due to the
use of maraging steel in the clubface.

W-403AD fits the bill and also provides top-notch performance with
solid distance for a relatively wide range of golfers.

 Wilson’s new Staff line of fairway woods features a load of technology and a traditional look.

create a larger effective hitting area. This is accomplished by
structurally reinforcing the area behind and around the clubface
without adding weight.
Advantages: The ETF Technology is designed to produce greater ball
speed and distance, while the addition of the nickel-tungsten screws is
meant to help golfers produce higher trajectory shots on a consistent
basis.
