Buy now or wait?

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.
