Callaway Quantum Fairway Woods: The Evolution of Speed and Playability
Not well educated, but Optifit4 is new and appears to allow loft and lie adjustments independent of one another (eg. can increase loft and decrease lie angle)
Thanks. I looked at the Callaway website and found this:
So the adapter can go 2* up or down in loft and remain in the standard lie angle, or you can go up or down 1* in loft and go 1* upright or 1* weak in lie. For 7 total settings.
I ended up getting fit into a 3W, 7W, & 9W. They are the easiest to hit FW I've ever played. In fact... I got a 9W without even hitting it. In my fitting I was smoking the 7W and then my fitter had me hit a 5i & 5h. After that he said "based on the 7 we are definitely putting a 9W in your bag w/ same specs as 7." It was my best club @ the Grandaddy. much so that Johnny Rodriguez from Callaway named it my "Devine 9." He told me when in doubt... I should just hit that club.
The 7W & 9W do not have the OptiFit 4 hosel FYI.

I can't remember did you dropped 5 Iron completely for the 9W?
I did... ended up 6-AW in irons. It actually has been eye opening how much better that 9W is for me compared to a longer iron.

I have a feeling a fairway upgrade is in the works for me. If I hit these, they seem like a really good match, so I'd better be careful if I try them out
Ooo baby you know I’ve been pondering if my three wood would get replaced coming up and this guy might be what pushes it out the bag. Traditionally I’ve been really solid with 3 woods, UW(In limited times hitting them), hybrids off the tee. Turn and burn!
That TD! 
new adapter too!

You won't regret it my guy. So easy to hit.
YOU ROASTED the 9w.
Fun fact. @THE BOV didn't hit the 9w during the fitting and forgot about it on the range until I reminded him. He smoked it all day. Big high ball flights that just stayed on target
Funny story from GD I've been waiting to tell... On the first day (I think it was #12) we played a par 3 on the back of the Dye course. If you followed along you know that @sbusse55 hits the ball a mile. Him and I both made par and I asked what he hit on that hole. He said "an 8." I laughed and told him I got there w/ my 9. He turned and I was holding up my 9W. Took a pic to show how you can make par w/ 2 very different clubs. I couldn't post until today as the Quantum 9W is in pic of course....
Can't lie... that was pretty funny when you asked if I was going to try that 9 before we play. I was like "oh ****... I probably should."
Its a lasting impression to know we were going to be excellent in the cart togetherCan't lie... that was pretty funny when you asked if I was going to try that 9 before we play. I was like "oh ****... I probably should."
I truly hope to do it again my man
I will be giving these a try next week for sure. I have a trusty 3w and always nervous to change that spot in the bag, but……The LinQ PC is an upgrade option as well, kind of makes it a no brainer.
For the TD fairways, it looks like the 3w and 5w are adjustable, but not the 7w...correct?
Do you find the face to be just as shallow as last years elyte standard fairway?
Fairways have been pretty solid the last couple models. Really like my Elyte 3w Ti, but these need to be tested
Looks wise…crown looks really good. Sole…meh but sole doesn’t matter that much really.
Question for the crew. With the new adapter, will the old one work with this head or do you have to have the new adapter?
Here comes the fun part, Quantum TD vs Quantum Max vs Elyte TI in the 3 and 5 woods
It’s new to fairways but was on the Elyte hybrid last year. It allows for greater control over lie than the previous version.
