The RS MAX Fairway Wood features a fixed‑head design, offering predictable setup and straightforward playability across all lofts. Available in 3‑wood (15°), 5‑wood (18°), 7‑wood (21°) and 9‑wood (24°), this series mirrors the loft gapping of the standard RS fairways. These options provide smooth distance progression and allow golfers to build a long‑game setup tailored to their launch and speed needs.

Maintaining the same familiar profile shape as the RS Fairway Woods, the RS MAX introduces a head size approximately 10% larger, greatly enhancing forgiveness while still preserving a pleasing, traditional look at address. The expanded footprint significantly increases MOI, helping stabilise the face through impact, yet the design is carefully sculpted to prevent it from appearing bulky or oversized. The result is a fairway wood that inspires confidence without compromising on visual appeal.

With a multi‑material construction incorporating a lightweight carbon crown, the RS MAX Fairway Wood removes mass from the upper portion of the head and redistributes it lower and deeper. This creates a CG location optimised for higher launch, greater peak height, and enhanced carry distance, especially beneficial for players who struggle to elevate longer‑range shots. The CG placement is refined to perform consistently from both the tee and turf, delivering strong, stable trajectories in a variety of conditions.

The RS MAX Fairway utilises a simplified weighting system inspired by the RS MAX Driver. With interchangeable 8g and 2g tungsten weights, the setup is designed to maximise forgiveness through a rear‑biased weighting configuration. Positioning the heavier weight at the back boosts MOI and stabilises the face on off‑centre hits, resulting in better distance retention and directional consistency. A heel‑biased rear weighting option further promotes a natural draw bias, reducing side spin for straighter ball flight—an excellent fit for higher‑handicap players who tend to miss right.

Equipped with Fast Face Technology (FFT) and variable face thickness, the RS MAX Fairway Wood stabilises ball speed across the entire impact zone. This helps ensure that even low‑heel, toe, or slightly thin strikes result in dependable distance. By supporting stronger energy transfer across a wider impact region, FFT gives golfers the consistency they need to attack fairways, par‑5s, and long approaches with confidence.

A key feature of the RS MAX Fairway Wood is the integrated Speed Slot, which increases lower‑face flexibility to maintain ball speed and launch on low‑face impacts. Because many fairway‑wood strikes occur lower on the face—especially when hit from the turf—the Speed Slot plays a crucial role in preserving height, carry, and overall performance. This technology makes the RS MAX a much more forgiving option for real‑world playing conditions.

With its larger footprint and higher‑MOI design, the RS MAX Fairway Wood is built to reduce both distance loss and directional dispersion. The head shape boosts stability at impact, helping players achieve straighter, more consistent shots even when contact varies. Combined with its draw‑friendly weighting and naturally higher launch profile, the RS MAX produces straighter, higher‑launching ball flights, making it the ideal fairway wood for golfers seeking easy‑to‑hit performance.

Fitted with Fujikura Ventus shafts in A, R, S, and X flex profiles, the RS MAX Fairway Wood benefits from a stable yet easy‑launching shaft platform. These profiles offer smooth energy transfer and predictable spin characteristics, supporting higher launch and tighter dispersion—key traits that complement the MAX fairway’s forgiving head design.

Each club is equipped with the SuperStroke Lamkin Crossline 2.0 grip, which provides a high‑traction feel that stabilises hand placement and reduces grip torque. This encourages a smoother, more controlled swing, particularly beneficial for golfers producing less‑consistent hand pressure.

The RS MAX Fairway Wood is also available with premium shaft and grip upgrades through custom‑fit channels, allowing golfers to personalise trajectory, distance gapping, and feel. These upgrades maintain the MAX model’s core focus on forgiveness, while ensuring each player can achieve their ideal long‑game setup.
