Our read, not the brands’. It’s opinion, built from their announcements and the models they replace, and each one covers its whole category.

Fairway woods
Mini drivers were the fairway-wood story of 2026. Cobra pitches its 13.5° KING TEC-MD at better players who want placement and at golfers who want more forgiveness than a fairway wood, Callaway calls its Quantum Mini a fairway-finder or 3-wood alternative, and Titleist says the GTS300's deeper CG adds inertia on off-center strikes. At the other end, Callaway's Quantum Mini Spinner is a 7-, 9- or 11-wood that Callaway says adds spin on long approaches, and it comes in a women's build. Women's fairways also came from PING, Callaway, Cobra, TaylorMade and Tour Edge. Our read: buy a fairway wood to fill a real yardage gap, and get fitted.
