Titleist offers a pair of 909 fairway wood
models. The 909 F2 (pictured) is larger overall
than the 909 F3 but has a shallower face. The
F2 is handy from fairway lies due to internal
weighting that creates higher launch and
mid-spin. (The deeper-faced, compact F3 is
better-suited for tee shots.) F2 lofts are also .5° weaker, to aid higher flight.
The stainless steel head has a lively Carpenter
steel face insert, to bolster ball speed and
sweeten feel. A "multi-relief" sole limits
bouncing or skipping at impact.
