The Bottom Line

To some of you, Haywood Golf may be new to your list of golf manufacturers. Much like other direct to consumers, they continue to develop and expand their golf club catalog. Haywood Golf's fairway wood claims the title of best for forgiveness in our 2024 test. Haywood Golf displays consistent performance for ball speed deltas, carry distance deltas, backspin deltas, and dispersion.

👍 Buy This If

You want forgiveness: In our testing, forgiveness is an analysis of how consistent a golf club is at producing similar shots repeatedly. We do so by evaluating ball speed, carry distance, backspin and dispersion. Each of these metrics highlight how efficient a golf club is across our entire test. Haywood Golf essentially produces the tightest standard deviations for this scoring category and making it the most forgiving fairway wood of 2024.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You want accuracy and distance: Despite being forgiving, Haywood Golf fairway wood displays below average accuracy and distance relative to other fairway woods. If these two performance attributes are a priority to you, you may want to look elsewhere.
