Cally Steelheads (originals)

The original Callaway Steelheads rank in my top 5 ALL TIME greatest fairway woods for the following reasons:
1. Setup: the original Steelheads set up square to the eye which promotes a lot of confidence for someone like me, who is always afraid of the "hook" shot with a fairway wood.
2. Playability: the original Steelheads are great off the turf as well as off the tee and better players have no trouble "working" the ball in either direction.
3. Distance: perhaps one of the greatest features of the original Steelheads is that they are very LONG. I used to play the Strong 4 wood (4+) and 7 wood in my bag with stiff steel shafts. The Strong 4 was as forgiving as a traditional 4 wood but as long as most 3 woods on the market. This could be because the strong 4 had a typical 3 wood loft. The 7 wood had a nice small head and also went far. I compared the 7 wood to other 5 woods and found no difference in terms of distance.
4. Forgiveness: I believe that Callaway has always tried to outdo themselves on forgiveness with the Steelhead Plus, Fusion, Big Bertha, FT, etc., fariway woods and, while I think they may have "done it" with the X and X HOT series, I believe the original Steelheads are still one of the most forgiving fairway woods available. The leading edge of these heads glides nicely through any lie and promotes clean, crisp contact.
FYI - the other 4 fairway wood make/models in my all-time top 5 are as follows:
1. Tour Edge Exotics CB2
2. TM 200
3. TM V-Steel
4. Mizuno MP001
In no particular order ;)
