+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Weeks back I swung by J-Beam's head quarters to check out their new full titanium TF Fairway Woods. I snapped these photos and was able to hit each loft on the launch monitor against my own gamers. The new TF caters to a wide range of players from the better golfer who wants an easier long distance fairway wood to the mid and high handicapper who is looking to make easy contact with a high penetrating launch. These surprisingly fit the bill for all players. I play Modart Fairway Woods and have for a long time the reason why I prefer them is because they are easy to make clean contact with the ball off the fairway but also they are penetrating and low spin for a very straight shot, I've been so happy with them I never felt the need to wander elsewhere. That was until now, I went to Jbeam to pick up a prototype of the new ZY-7 driver and while there got to test the TF fairway and utility woods. As you can see below the face is somewhat shallow not supper shallow but what I would consider a touch taller than shallow. this helps the ball get airborne easier. The head is a 2 piece structure made fully of titanium and slightly oversized at 210cc's. what makes these fit a wide range of player is the shaft you insert, I tried all the various aftermarket major brand shafts at Jbeam along with their very own Yamazaki shafts which are absolutely fantastic no matter what head you put them in. The result I preferred was the YZ-Black Fairway shaft in SX flex which comes in at 68 grams and had a multi kick point design that produces very tight dispersion and mid/high trajectory. The TF-FW has 3 variants of 3 woods, 13.5/15.5/17.5 along with 19.5 and 21.5 these lofts make it a very good choice, I'm torn between the all 3 lofts not sure which to get, I think I would leave it up to the type of course I am playing as the 17.5 while 20yds shorter than the 13.5 was super easy to hit consistently enough so I would be stupid not to choose that loft. Also we now offer hosel reeming which combined with hand picked heads is giving you the ability to have flatter or more upright lie angles and the more extreme face angles. Thanks for reading!

chiromikey Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 These look very nice. Got any address pics? Can the hosel teeming be done on any head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkats Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 These look great. Is the face depth similar to the jBeam Glorious fairway wood? How does the size compare to the Glorious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 These look great. Is the face depth similar to the jBeam Glorious fairway wood? How does the size compare to the Glorious? Size wise the TF vs Glorious they are almost the same but the TF hides it a touch better, volume in cc's are just about equal. Shape is better on the TF, Glorious is designed for the higher handicap while TF fits a big range of player, TF feels a bit more stable and goes longer as well. TF has a slightly higher pitch tone to it, Glorious is stainless. Both have a similar trajectory mid/high but shaft will be the main factor in that.

Swizbeatz Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 17.5 a little flat is calling me I think, I've got a quadra fire express FW shaft collecting dust that might be a good combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
