If you’ve been looking for ways to improve your launch and carry with fairway woods, you’ve probably heard about the Hypermax Hyway Wood. If you haven’t yet, you definitely will soon.
Designed specifically for golfers with slower swing speeds, this innovative club is already building a strong reputation among amateur and senior golfers.
They say it’s easier to swing than their 3-wood. They’re launching it at least twice as high. They’re even carrying hazards and holding greens consistently. That’s the buzz, anyway.
But can you expect those results, too? Why would this fairway wood be any different from all the others you’ve tried?
Here’s everything you need to know about the new Hypermax yourself:
How is the Hypermax Different From Your Current 3-Wood?
The Hypermax was designed for amateur and senior golfers with slower swing speeds. Your current 3-wood wasn’t.
This new club was Todd Kolb’s idea. He’s a major champion golf coach, a five-time Golf Digest Best-in-State Instructor, a bestselling author, and the senior golfer’s biggest advocate. (He prefers the term “experienced golfer.”)
Kolb has repeatedly called out the heavy focus on professional golfers. From traditional instruction to big-name golf equipment, virtually everything in the industry is designed for an elite skill set.
He teamed up with former Nike designer and twelve-time Golf Digest Hot List winner Josh Boggs to develop a fairway wood that didn’t demand a tour player’s swing speed.
The result was the Hypermax. Here’s what this club does differently:
Introducing the Amateur-Friendly AirLaunch Trio
The AirLaunch Trio might be the most interesting innovation of the Hypermax Hyway Wood. The trio consists of three technologies designed to work together for better contact, easier launch, and longer, straighter shots… no swing changes necessary.
LaunchAssist Loft is the Secret to Towering Ball Flight
Your 3-wood has painfully little loft—so little that it typically takes a swing speed of 100 mph or more to get decent launch.
The Hypermax features 18° of launch so those of us who swing it slower or are losing some of our speed can still achieve a towering ball flight.
Vertical Assist Face Guarantees Straighter Shots…
… and no more topping.
Ever noticed the low profile of your 3-wood’s clubface? That feature is supposed to help make up for the lack of loft and help you get higher launch. But with a face that small, you’ve got to have pro-level accuracy on every shot.
The Hypermax features an expanded strike zone with a taller, wider face, offering more forgiveness on mis-hits in any direction.
Easy Launch Sole Puts an End to Fat Shots
The Hypermax glides through any turf, thanks to a rounded sole and friction-reducing cutouts.
Other Key Features of the Hypermax
The amateur-friendly innovations don’t stop at the AirLaunch Trio. The Hypermax also features:
Draw-Biased Heel-Assist Weighting
Boggs and Kolb moved the weight lower in the clubhead for easier launch and more toward the heel, encouraging the club to turn over naturally.
Square Face at Address
The Hypermax naturally sits square at address. Believe it or not, your 3-wood doesn’t.
As Boggs explains, fairway woods are designed to sit slightly open at address, because a professional golfer has an easier time controlling a cut at their swing speed.
If you can’t match a pro’s swing speed, that open face orientation isn’t a feature; it’s an obstacle.
Adaptive Flex Shaft
This feature is popular with all golfers, but the “experienced” players rave about it. The graphite Adaptive Flex shaft conforms to your swing speed in the moment, ensuring optimal conditions for the shaft to load easily and release with extra speed.
You can actually feel yourself cracking the whip at the bottom of your swing.
Standard Length
The big clubmakers are making fairway woods longer these days. It’s a natural move for higher swing speed, but it also makes the club harder to control.
The Hypermax sticks with a traditional 43 inches so you stay in command of every shot.
Verdict: Is the Hypermax Hyway Wood Legit?
The design of the Hypermax sounds cool, but does it work?
We took it for a test run and had a great time. It’s a good-looking club that felt right at home in our hands. It was easy to swing and even easier to launch. We were getting the ball up in the air consistently. We also saw a noticeable distance boost and soft landings.
If we had this club in our bags, we’d be inclined to use it much more than we use our current fairway woods. You learn pretty quick that you can count on the Hypermax to deliver on every shot.
