SPECS:- TaylorMade - SIM2 MAX 15deg 3 FAIRWAY WOOD - Right Handed - DENALI 60g 6.5 Project x - X STIFF
The TaylorMade SIM2 MAX 3-Wood (15°) is engineered for powerful distance, high launch, and exceptional forgiveness. Featuring a V Steel™ sole design, it improves turf interaction for clean strikes from the fairway or tee, while an ultra-low centre of gravity promotes easy launch and optimal ball flight. The high-strength C300 steel face with Twist Face® technology enhances ball speed and helps correct off-centre hits for straighter shots. Combined with a Thru-Slot Speed Pocket for added flexibility and distance, this fairway wood delivers consistent performance and confidence on every swing
The Titleist TSi2 Fairway in the 18° loft version is designed to deliver easy launch, strong ball speed and all-round versatility from the fairway (or tee) for players seeking a dependable “5-wood” option. It offers Titleist’s modern fairway technology — deeper, lower centre of gravity, refined face construction — to help produce more carry, more consistency, and forgiveness across the face.
Key Features
Loft & Profile: The TSi2 has an 18° loft available in its fairway line-up. This makes it a true 5-wood equivalent in many modern setups, offering a useful gap club for long approach shots or tee hits.
Head Construction & Technologies:
Built with a “Speed Chassis” featuring an ultra-thin crown and a forged Carpenter 465 VFT (Variable Face Thickness) face to promote faster ball speeds and deeper launch.
Incorporates the 4th-generation Active Recoil Channel (ARC 4.0) behind the face, which helps the face flex more at impact (especially low on the face) and thereby maintain speed on off-centre hits.
Forgiveness & Launch: Reviewers highlight the TSi2 as being “long and easy to launch” with “high levels of forgiveness” in the fairway wood category.
Shaft / Weight Options: While your specification (stiff shaft ~55 g) suggests a custom shaft build, Titleist offers several premium stock shafts such as the Tensei AV Blue RAW and others in the ~55-58 g range for right-hand models.
Playability: Because of the lower spin, deeper CG and refined profile, the club works well off both turf and tee. Reviewers noted consistent flight and spin rates, which reflects well for players wanting dependable performance.
The TaylorMade R7 3-Wood in stiff shaft configuration is a high-performance fairway wood designed for solid players who generate good clubhead speed. It combines adjustable weight technology with a sleek head design to allow for shot-shape tuning and workability, while still delivering strong carry and turf interaction.
Key Features
Loft & Head Specs: The 3-wood model typically has about a 15° loft (dependent on the sub-model). For example: the “R7 Steel” fairway lists 15° for the 3-wood.
Movable Weight Technology (MWT): The club incorporates two TLC (Tungsten Low-center) weight ports (e.g., 14 g + 2 g) enabling right-to-left shot shape adjustment of about 15 yards.
Head Construction & Shape: The head uses a traditional “V-Shape” sole design (in some models) for better turf interaction, and the face is designed for a high coefficient of restitution (fast ball speed off the face).
Shaft Flex / Recommendation: The stiff shaft version is tuned for players with faster swing speeds who want control and lower spin/trajectory than more flexible shafts. As noted generally, a stiff shaft suits stronger swings by reducing excessive launch/spin.
Playability: According to independent reviews, the R7 3-Wood is more geared toward better players (rather than entry-level), offering good adjustability and workability rather than maximum forgiveness.
The TaylorMade R504 XD 3-Wood is a fairway wood built for players looking for distance, a workable trajectory, and fairway versatility. With its 3-wood configuration it typically offers loft in the ~15° range (for the standard 3-wood) which can replace a long iron or strong fairway wood. The “XD” (eXtended Distance) tag suggests a performance-bias toward distance.
Key Features
Fairway wood design: The club aims to combine forgiveness with speed off the deck or tee.
Typical loft: The 3-wood version of the R500/R580/XD line shows ~15° loft in related models.
Shaft & flex (your spec): “Stiff” flex means the shaft is set for players with moderate to high swing speeds, offering less flex and more control than a regular flex.
Bag role: A 3-wood of this type is useful off the tee on par-4s/5s or off the fairway when you need more carry and roll than a hybrid but more control than a driver.
The Cobra AMP 5-Wood (about 18–19° loft depending on version) is a lightweight, easy-launch fairway wood designed for players with moderate swing speed.

Left-Handed Model
Factory-built LH version (not reshafted), which is often harder to find.
This is the high-lofted version of the TaylorMade RBZ fairway wood line — the “3HL” (High Loft) model — which typically comes with a loft around 17° (for the 3HL variant) rather than the standard 15° of the regular 3-wood. Designed to launch higher and help golfers who struggle with long fairways or want a tee/fairway club that gives more launch and softer landing. It is fitted with a Regular-flex shaft in this configuration.
Key Features
Loft: For the 3HL version: ~17° according to one spec sheet.
Regular Flex Shaft: This version you asked about has a Regular flex, making it easier to swing and more forgiving for moderate swing speeds.
RBZ Technology: Speed Pocket under the face to boost ball speed and forgiveness.
High Launch Design: The “HL” version is targeted at higher launch: one reviewer noted: “the high-launching RBZ HL … I can probably fly the ball 245 yards and land it softly…”

The Big Bertha Steelhead III 3-Wood is a fairway wood from Callaway’s Steelhead III family, designed with variable face thickness (VFT) and a low centre of gravity to boost launch and forgiveness. While many stock versions came with steel or standard flex graphite shafts, a version with a graphite shaft in Extra Stiff flex is a custom-or aftermarket specification tailored for players with higher swing speeds who prefer a firmer, heavier shaft feel.
Key Features
Face & head tech: The club features VFT (Variable Face Thickness) which helps maintain ball-speed on off-centre hits.
Loft & geometry: For the 3-Wood version of the Steelhead III, the published loft is around 15° with a lie of ~56°.
Shaft material/flex: The version you asked for (Graphite shaft, Extra Stiff) is likely a custom build or re-shafted version—not standard.
Suitability: With the Extra Stiff graphite shaft, this club is aimed at stronger players who can load the shaft efficiently, want higher stability and potentially lower spin for more control.
Playability: As a 3-wood with competitive loft and good forgiveness, it serves well for tee shots or long fairway shots when you want fairway wood distance but better control than driver.
The Big Bertha Steelhead III 3-Wood is a fairway-wood model from Callaway’s Steelhead family, designed for good launch, forgiveness and ease of use. The “III” version builds on earlier Steelhead models with Variable Face Thickness and a low/centered CG to help with ball flight and turf interaction.
If you find one with a graphite shaft in Firm flex, that’s likely either a custom-shaft version or a variant made for a specific market. Original listings often show steel shafts or unspecified graphite.
