NEWARK, OHIO —As some major golf club manufacturers begin testing the waters this year with utility wood designs, The GolfWorks proudly announces the return of the game’s best utility woods with all-new “playability” — Trouble Out fairway woods.  

Applying the latest research into playability to the previously best-selling utility wood line, the new-for-2004 Trouble Out utility woods utilize an advanced tungsten weighting design and enhanced dynamic loft to make the most of every shot made from either fairway or “trouble” situations. In fact, the new Trouble Out utility woods achieved the highest Playability Factor rating of any utility wood ever offered at The GolfWorks. Scoring in the 851+ Ultra Game Improvement range — the highest category in the golf industry’s premiere playability analysis system — the Trouble Out design practically guarantees to live up to its name.

“These 17-4 stainless heads incorporate a 40-gram tungsten sole weight which significantly lowers the head’s center of gravity and helps get the ball airborne more easily and quickly,” says Britt Lindsey, vice president of technical services at The GolfWorks. “Plus, by strengthening the lofts, we’ve made sure that these utility woods provide an ideal trajectory for maximum carry distance.”

Lindsey explains that the new Trouble Out woods also feature new runners on the sole that aid in lowering the center of gravity and keep the head stable and online in medium- to high grass. In addition, variable face heights increase with loft to prevent excessive sliding under the ball when playing from medium to long grass, which maximizes distance from those lies. Trouble Out utility woods are available in 3-, 5-, 7- and 9-woods.

In testament to the Ultra Game Improvement Playability of the new Trouble Out utility woods, GolfWorks founder Ralph Maltby has a set in his bag.
