I've been doing some research to identify a matching set of highly-lofted #11, 13 and 15 fairway woods and I'm looking for some suggestions.

I'm a fan of hollow irons, hybrids and fairway woods. This summer at the local Value Village, I stumbled on several excellent 2009 Cleveland Launcher fairway woods as well as an MG Golf #9 Fairway Wood. In addition to my driver, I now have #3, 5, 7 and 9 fairway woods. The 5 & 7 woods have completely replaced my 4, 5, and 6 irons (Cleveland Launcher HiBores from 2018). For me, the highly-lofted fairway woods just perform so much better than equivalent irons - they are easier to hit, and my shots fly higher, farther, and are more accurate. So, now I'd like to replace my 7, 8, and 9 irons.

I've narrowed down my search to two vendors.

Yukon Shallow Face Fairway Woods
https://www.pinemeadowgolf.com/golf-clubs/woods/yukon.shallow.fw

Bang SF Fairway Woods
http://www.golfclubsforeless.com/product/bang-sf-fairway-woods/

The Bang SF offers more lofts (including #17, 19 and 21 woods which can replace wedges); there are also more options for things like spine alignment and vibration dampening inserts compared to the Yukon line.

The Yukon line, while offering fewer clubs, reminds me a lot of the old Cobra Baffler rescue club from the 70's and 80's with 2 smallish rails on the sole. And the Yukon site is packed with positive user reviews.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Yukon offerings from PineMeadowGolf. Please weigh in if you have an opinion on either of these lines, or suggest something else.

Idk, if I would trust the Pine Meadow stuff. I have heard nothing but poor things about their golf stuff. I bought aa couple of clubs from them many, many years ago. They didn't last very long. To Pinemeadow's credit, they did return my money pretty easily. That said I do own a 72* wedge made/distributed by them. I stay as far away from that club as possible. 

I have a 9W but I don't use it much. Actually I'd be hard pressed to find it if wanted to. 

I have a set of Tour Edge Ironwoods (2-lw) that compare quite easily with the higher lofted metal woods. 

There is another company out there called Wedgewood Golf, or something like that

Perhaps a corresponding Ironwood, or Wedgewood to the higher lofted metal woods might be deserving of look see.  

In My Bag:
A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

I don't know anything about the clubs you provided the links for but I would research them first, is there anyplace you can hit them? I like hitting hybrids so I bought a set of Cleveland Launcher HB and love them, easy to hit, high ball flight, etc. My set is 4i through Gap, all based on the hybrid design. I use Cobra 5W and 3W which I really like as well, they are getting old but I'll keep them for now. Good luck with you search.
