The hyway has a larger volume, taller face and a fixed hosel. Is there any difference in distance or forgiveness with these two heads? The hyway is excellent on soggy pnw courses. Thanks as always.

Hard to say without comparing side by side. They do have the differences you mention and for some those differences may translate is some difference in performance. They are within 2 grams of the same head weight. Generally a #9 wood would be played to a little longer playing length, which should mean you would hit it farther, but since the head weights are so close, the difference in pplaying length might not be a factor. As far as forgiveness, both will be very forgiving and difficult to know for any individual if one would be more forgiving than the other. Technically, the #9 wood has a little higher MOI and longer front to back dimension which are game improvement features. Still, should be very forgiving. The adjustability of the #9 wood is a nice feature and could possibly translate into a more versatile club.
