With advanced face insert technologies and SureFit Hosel, the Titleist 917F2 Fairway Wood offers all-around playability and forgiveness with optimized speed, distance, and flight adjustability. The 917 Fairway Wood delivers increased speed and lower spin through advanced face insert technologies, giving you more distance more often. With a larger profile, the 917F2 Fairway Wood delivers more spin and a higher launch angle versus the 917F3. The Titleist 917 metals have been designed to deliver the most complete performance in the game today. They provide increased speed for more distance, even on offcenter hits, along with the capability for precise customization so every player can get the most out of every drive. Titleist knows how much you put into your game, that's why they put so much into the new 917 metals.
Like the Titleist 917 driver the 917 fairways also feature the SureFit CG adjustable sole weight that can vary the amount of weight in the head and also where it is placed. This is done using a cylinder made of composite material with either steel or tungsten inside that is inserted into a chamber on the sole. There are five possible weights from 8g to 16g and you get two with your club for your selected weight. One is neutral with the weight evenly balanced and the other has a heavy end that is either inserted towards the toe to create a fade or towards the heel to create a draw. The weight chamber is really just two slots and this means that the infrastructure to hold it does not take up too much weight that can be used to better effect elsewhere. The chamber itself is at an angle to control the level of spin and maintain some consistency. If you fade the ball you add spin, so the chamber is closer to the face at the toe so that when you have the heavy end there to counteract the fade, the position of the weight closer to the face helps offset more of the fade spin. With a draw the opposite is true and the heavy end being further back from the face will add spin to help reduce the effect of the lower spinning draw.
The final change is in the ARC 2.0 Active Recoil Channel. This is technically more of a slot now as Titleist has cut through the sole on the 917 fairway and filled it with an elastomer insert for legal reasons to make it conforming as well as to stop and dirt getting in there. Essentially though, the steel sole of the fairway is not one piece and the elastomer allows the lower section of the face to work with the variable face thickness on the Radial Speed Face 2.0 to generate some extra ball speed. It does make the 917 fairway sound a little hollower than the 915 with its 'sealed' slot, so whilst it is not quite as aurally appealing, it is still passable. Combine all this with the tried and trusted SureFit Tour hosel and you have one of the most adjustable fairway woods in the market, especially when you factor in the two head shapes of the F2 and the F3. There is a wide range of lofts from 13.5° up to a 21° head with no numbers on them now, so you will have to ask what loft you are using instead of which wood.
