Building upon the success of its recently launched 983 series of drivers, Titleist has announced the debut of a new line of fairway woods, dubbed the 980 series. Building upon the success of its recently launched 983 series of drivers, Titleist has announced the debut of a new line of fairway woods, dubbed the Pro Trajectory 980 series.

The clubs will be available in two models: The 980F in five lofts ranging from 13 to 21 degrees; and the 980F Strong in two 3-wood lofts of 13 and 15 degrees.

Titleist's news release addresses the tech specs: "Utilizing a two-piece face pull construction, the 980 fairway metals feature a thinner face insert plate that contributes to a higher ball speed, better feel and hotter flight. A thin outer face flange supports the face insert to maintain consistent ball-speed and feel across the face. An improved sole design includes continuous curvature from heel to toe with no sole break at the side walls, and a beveled leading edge to improve playability by reducing ground interference from all types of lie conditions from thin fairways to deep rough. The center of gravity and internal weight distribution has been refined for improved launch performance and ball flight producing less spin for an optimum downrange trajectory - high and flat - the hallmark of all Titleist metal woods.

MSRP is $290 per club in graphite and $200 per club in steel.
