Power Play Caiman Rawpower Fairway Wood - Clubhead:Golfers spend tens of millions of dollars each year try to find that one club to give them the maximum distance and forgiveness off of the tee. With certain rules in place by the USGA that put caps on technology, soon your distance could be maxed out. But as we age and golf courses continue to become longer and longer, it is going to be harder to reach those long par 4s in regulation or the possibility of reaching a par 5 in two... until now!

Our R&D department spared no expense and ingenuity in creating that same ideology of maximum distance and forgiveness off the tee, but transformed that into the ultimate fairway wood the - Caiman Rawpower Forged Fairway Wood.

First, we started out with an ultra-thin maraging steel face insert to increase the ball speed coming off of the face approaching the legal COR limit for spring-like effect. This is no easy task as the small face area of a fairway wood does not flex nearly as much as a modern driver face.

In addition to the "hot" face we elected to utilize "cup face" technology. This moves the weld significantly behind the face will possess a greater trampoline effect over the entire hitting surface resulting into greater distance rather than just the center of the face.

For accuracy, most golfers can hit a 5-wood reasonably well, but when they need extra distance they pull their 3-wood out and all of the sudden they hit the club with less than satisfactory results.?hy? The extra 1 inch in length makes it a little harder to return the club to the ball in a square position. This is one reason why we decided to make the head heavier to increase the solidness of contact.?Think of it as a very low lofted 5-wood.

Combined with the unique geometric shape we moved as much weight deep in the rear of the club as possible to create a very highest moment of inertia possible with a clubhead this size. This is the longest and straightest fairway wood we every produced, but it is still extremely user-friendly to hit off of the ground.

For those golfers serious about their game, the Caiman forged fairway is a must-have club to bridge the gap between the driver and their longest control club.

Note: Designed to be the same length and swingweight as a traditional #5-wood
