300 TI FAMILY OF FAIRWAY WOODS PROVIDE DISTANCE & CONTROL
FROM ANY LIE




Utility clubs beware: TaylorMade's new 300 Ti family of fairway woods may soon become the core golfer's 'power' club of choice from tee, fairway or rough.

Introduced at last month's PGA Merchandise Show and available immediately,
TaylorMade's new fairway woods come in two head styles (the 300 Ti Tour and
the 300 Ti Series) and feature a railed sole plate and the lowest centre of gravity in company history - providing maximum playability from all lies.

"Alone, these clubs are an incredibly powerful part of any player's long game," said Tom Olsavsky, director of product marketing, metalwoods. "But, combined with our 300 Series driver, you now have the perfect one-two combination to reach those par fours and fives in two shots."

Along with the technology, design played a major role in developing both 300
Ti fairway woods. Using a more rounded railed sole plate (taken directly from TaylorMade's successful Raylor), a clear reduction in ground contact evolved. This new design allows the club head to explode the ball out of thick rough, divots, holes, sand and other lies beyond the fairway.

While the rails give the element of a utility club, the lower CG provides the benefit of a power driver. While other fairway woods use steel at the top of the club head, the 300 Ti family uses titanium. With this lighter metal at the top - combined with tungsten alloy plug in the sole - the club's CG is lower than any fairway wood offered by TaylorMade. The result: weight where the core golfer needs it for added distance and control.

300 Ti Tour
Head/Face: The 300 Ti Tour fairway woods feature a deep-face design preferred by high-skill players seeking a penetrating trajectory.
Shaft: Players have two shaft options, each offering optimum shaft weight distribution and flex properties valued by top players. The standard offering is a newly designed fairway tour shaft (.350-inch tip), the latest generation of graphite shaft technology. This proprietary tour graphite shaft is slightly heavier (75 grams) for optimum workability. The second option is the improved Bubble Tour shaft (also .350-inch tip), the evolution of the revolutionary Bubble shaft technology. The #3 comes in a 43-inch standard length and allows a neutral directional bias. Custom shafts are also available.
Availability: The 300 Ti Tour fairway woods are available in #3 (13 or 15 degree loft), 4 (17 degree loft) and #5 (19 degree loft), and retail for £349.

300 Ti Series
Head/Face: The 300 Ti Series fairway woods come in a traditional head size with a shallow mid-size profile to create carry and lift, as well as to create confidence at address and increased forgiveness. Each 300 Ti Series comes with the "PowerBand" crown alignment that creates greater impact efficiency and increases shot consistency. The 300 Ti Series feature the same low CG as the 300 Ti Tour, but has more face area than traditional shallow-face fairway woods, allowing for a larger sweetspot.
Shaft: Same offerings as the 300 Ti Tour, including custom shafts. The shaft is 43.5 inches and the club features a slight right-to-left directional tendency.
Availability: 300 Ti Series fairway woods are available in #3 (13 or 15 degree loft, #5 (17 degree loft), #7 (20 degree loft) and #9 (23 degree loft), and retail for £349.
