The Golf Club Trader's and Hireko Golf's 'Driver / Fairway Adapter Sleeve' listings (already this adapter's own Task 4 citation) name this generation directly and treat driver and fairway as one physical .335 SKU. TaylorMade's own M6 Tuning Guide (also this adapter's citation) is silent on whether the fairway wood's loft-sleeve section specifically covers the M6/M6 D-Type FAIRWAY (its Step 1 text says 'of the M6/M6 D-Type drivers'; a separate Step 2 passage about the D-Type draw-bias weight, not the loft sleeve, does say the D-Type feature is 'available in both the M6 Driver and Fairway Woods'), so this classification rests on the vendor-grouped SKU rather than a first-party fairway-specific sentence, one confidence tier below the SIM/Qi10 rows.
