Callaway Steelhead Plus 4 Wood

Summary:
Hands down the best fwy metal ever produced. I hit it 280 off the tee and is an awesome option off the tee and is especially good on tight, but shorter, par 4's. From the fairway, it just goes and I can work it around dog legs and trees without a problem. The issue with woods today is they are too long from heel to toe and you can't work the ball like I can with this one.

Customer Service:
Never needed it.

Summary:
I wrote a review about these when I first got them a few years ago now I have more experience with them I’m returning with this amendment.
These are very nice woods they look good sound great and sit well behind the ball. Trajectory is good and they are pretty easy to hit off the deck.
Now the part of my review I would change the forgiveness there is some but not as much as I would like. The heads are small and although you can get decent results from toe or heal strikes you will lose distance and suffer for your error.
I can see that a low handicapper would enjoy a small headed FW that sits naturally and can be worked both ways. As a higher handicapper I want more forgiveness and a touch of draw bias would come in handy when hitting a four wood from the deck.

Summary:
The Callaway original steelhead is by far the best fairway wood I have ever hit. The weighting and balance are perfect and unlike new fairway woods, this club has excellent feel. You can practically feel the ball compress. This club will be in my bag for a long time as it's difficult to find clubs with square face angles anymore. I'm sick of companies building in left biases to all their clubs. Keep the center of gravity in the middle of the face, which is where we all are trying to hit the ball in the first place!! My other two choices were Titleist 980F and the 904f. The Titleist clubs also felt great, I prefered the 980F, but the original steelhead was more forgiving.

Customer Service:
Haven't had to use them.
