Have any of you tried the new, non adjustable model et? Particularly the 5w.

No but I’ll likely purchase the adjustable ones in the next week or two.

I believe @Nat is considering buying the same one you’re thinking of.

Im very intrigued as well by that 5w.

KCee

colej Are the adjustable ones available? I have been waiting for a 7 wood. Not sure I would like the Hyway.

I thought the adjustable ones looked very promising when I saw the initial pics. Very similar in look to the 2015 Cally GBB that I still use but the face looked a bit deeper. I thought they might be cool to try in a 4/5 and 7 wood for sure.

They’ll be in stock some time next week. I didn’t care for the Hyway.

KCee

colej I didn’t care for the Hyway.

Is it too tall? The pics look like a tall face. I did like the Cally Super Hybrids which look similar, but the HyWay looks a bit more ungainly to me.

I don't see them on their website. Do you have a crystal ball you'd like to sell to me? Cheap. Like $12 shipped?

From what I remember the face height was ok. Head size and shape are in between a hybrid and fairway wood. Weird sound when struck. I got a high spinny ball flight with it.

Nat

KCee I’ve built several hyways for friends and all love them. I didn’t. Just too big by 25%

colej I’m probably one of the few who likes and plays the HyWay 21 degree as a 7W. Kind of an ugly looking club head, but performs well for me.

ode

colej tinny sounding for sure..... definitely a love or hate head, and not all that versatile with the big head and only two lofts. Very similar in shape to the Acer React hybrid in the 3, 4, 5 (the Reacts then morph into some sort of monstrosity). Would like to see a 17-18* as a lower lofted 4-5 wood replacement.

KCee

d5n03 I keep getting close to just buying the 21 to try as a 7 wood, but it doesn't look quite right....although GW pics are not always very good....and then I keep hear a real 7 wood is coming so I hold off. I have demoed used Cally Super Hybrid clubs at a local place and hit them well though so maybe I am missing out.

Cutter66

ode I asked that question of them when the head was released. Could be great mini driver head at 16-17, also for long par 5s

d5n03

KCee I agree with you - the HyWay doesn’t quite look right. I got over the looks of it & put it in play. It works well for me. Don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to the sound.

ode

Cutter66 I think they missed the boat on the design.......something more like the Callaway UW or Wishon 775HS.....maybe right in between one of those and the HyWay would have been the ticket. I like taller face height ✅, but it's so broad for the loft....I dunno how usable it is when the ball is sitting down in the rough. The concept of the .335 hybrid has merit, I hope they have a 2nd release and make it a little more sleek.

I'd be all in a mini.....a true mini, if they decided to do it, but their drivers and woods are just meh.....so it would be a wait and see sorta thing!

Cutter66

I also can’t find any info on an adjustable fairway wood from Golfworks……….

backinit

A pretty good deal on the adjustable fairway wood pack with the maltby shaft. Anyone have any feedback on the shaft?

fatshot

backinit the maltby shaft. Anyone have any feedback on the shaft?

I've never tried one, but on the Ralph Maltby site, the consensus of opinion (including Britt) seems to be that they play a little "stiff to flex."

colej

backinit

Plays stiff IMO. If you were doing the 5 wood and the trim instructions call for 1/2” tipping you could go with zero tipping and it might work out great. Instead of going down a flex.

Keep in mind they’ve made these heads very light.
