Found my unicorn fairway wood – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has triumphantly declared that at long last, they’ve found their “unicorn fairway wood.” User @Mp14forlife shared the great news in a post outlining their journey.

They wrote:

“This has been a years long struggle. I play 3-pw and carry a 56, 60 and 64 degree. So I only have room for 1 fairway wood. I had been using a 5 wood which was good to about 250ish. My dream club was finding a bigger headed fairway wood that could get out to 270ish but also easy to elevate off the deck and not be too hot but also not balloon either. It’s been a struggle trying to find that. Well I found the right combo after several attempts. I’m hitting the AI smoke max 3hl with a 75 gram tensei blue. This thing feels great, I’ve been able to smooth shots into greens with this thing from 260 and have it stop no problem, even on downhill lies it’s been easy to elevate. I’m able to smash it off the tee as well and not worry about it being too hot, just a great flight and right amount of spin. And that face feels great. Finally nice to have this part of the bag figured out.”

Some members in the forum have offered up support and excitement, while others poke fun at MP14forlife’s “problem.” Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

azgreg: “I’m having a hard time imagining that a 250 yard fairway club wasn’t sufficient. It’s evident that not all of us play the same game here.”
alittleoverpar: “Fairways are the hardest to get comfortable with. I’ve tried many over the years but have landed on the 5 Deep as my tool of choice.”
BowMain42: “I don’t think there’s anything better than having a comfy fairway wood. Just something about it feels… right. As evidenced by the many pros that rock old, worn ones.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
