Unlocking Fairways: Introducing the Krank Formula FIRE Fairway Wood Head-Only Option

In modern golf, hitting fairways consistently is just as important as driving the ball far. That’s where the Krank Golf Formula FIRE Fairway Woods insert a bold statement: distance without sacrificing control. For players looking to upgrade their fairway wood arsenal – especially the head-only option, which allows custom shafting and loft/lie tweaks – this club brings serious technology to your bag.

What makes the Formula FIRE fairway wood head special?

Unlike many fairway-woods built primarily for forgiveness or ease of launch, the Formula FIRE line is engineered around “high COR/CT” performance – meaning the clubface uses especially hard, thin metal and a “deep-cupped face” construction to deliver more spring-effect off the face.

Key features include:

• A deep cupped-face design and a mid-face raised center crown for maximum energy transfer at impact.
• A “max-rigidity shape” that helps stabilize the head on off-centre hits, promoting straighter shots even when you miss the sweet spot.
• Multiple lofts available: from as low as around 10° (2-wood style) up to 39° (15-wood style) – giving serious flexibility depending on your bag structure.
• The head-only format means you can fit your preferred shaft, flex, length and grip – ideal for players who custom build or want to fine-tune their setup.

In short: if you want a fairway wood that behaves more like a high-performance driver in terms of face construction, but in more playable fairway wood lofts, the Formula FIRE head is compelling.

Why this matters: from the tour to your tee box

We often study what the best players use because they push gear to its limits. Bryson DeChambeau is a prime example. Known for generating extreme club-head speeds and leveraging physics/gear for advantage, Bryson has adopted the Formula FIRE Fairway Woods in his setup.

This alignment tells you two things: one, the technology is trusted at the highest level; and two, for players with aggressive distance goals or high swing speeds, the hardware may be up to the task.

How a Formula FIRE Fairway Wood upgrade can help you

If you’re considering a fairway wood purchase, here’s how the Formula FIRE Fairway Wood can make a tangible difference:

1. Greater speed and ball-carry
   The high COR/CT face means more energy transfer at impact, which — all else equal — can translate into more ball speed and therefore more carry. For players who already swing hard and hit the face well, the incremental gain may be meaningful.
2. Customisable loft/lie
   Maybe your current fairway wood is too high-launching, or you want a 3-wood that performs equally well off the deck and from the tee. Whether you’re purchasing a complete build or choosing the head-only option for custom fitting, the Formula FIRE design lets you optimize loft and lie to achieve your ideal ball flight and landing angle.
3. Forgiveness and stability
   While some high-performance heads trade off forgiveness, the max-rigidity and “raised crown” design aim to keep ball-flight more consistent even when you miss slightly. That means you don’t necessarily have to strike it perfectly to benefit.
4. Better gapping and consistency
   If you’re just swapping the head, you can stay with your preferred shaft and flex. If your current fairway wood feels inconsistent or you’re chasing extra carry, this head gives a higher-performance platform without forcing you into a completely new system.

Who is this head-only setup ideal for?

• Players who can take advantage of the hot-face design to gain maximum fairway wood distance.
• Golfers who already have a tuned shaft and grip and simply want to upgrade the head rather than start over.
• Those who prefer to custom adjust loft/lie to their ball-flight (rather than accept stock settings).
• Players willing to invest time in fitting and optimising their gear to unlock the full potential of high-performance hardware.

Final takeaway

If you’re serious about hitting more fairways, carrying them longer, and want a tour-level platform in your bag, the Krank Golf Formula FIRE Fairway Wood is a strong contender. With the added endorsement of Bryson DeChambeau using the FIRE fairway wood (and driver) in his bag, the performance credentials are compelling.

Whether you’re teeing off on long par 4s or needing a go-to fairway club into tricky greens, upgrading to the Formula FIRE Fairway Woods can help you hit it FASTER – STRAIGHTER – LONGER!
