TaylorMade SIM Max Women's Fairway Wood

A genuine 15 degree 3 wood opens this range, which is worth flagging because women's fairway ladders often begin weaker than that. From there it climbs through 18 and 21 to 24 degrees, four right-handed heads that fill the whole stretch from driver down to the mid irons. The largest measures 185cc and strikes off C300 maraging steel.

Lengths shorten from 42 inches to 40 across the four, and the shafting is ladies-flex graphite throughout with a light grip to match. Neither hosel nor weighting moves. That leaves one real fitting question, which is how many of these four belong in a bag, and for a lot of players the honest answer is two. The 21 and the 24 in particular will earn their keep faster than the long irons they displace.
