Fairway Wood Fitting
A fairway wood fit correctly should be one of the clubs you trust most — off the tee on tight holes and off the deck reaching par 5s. Instead it's usually the one golfers trust least, simply because it never got fit in the first place.
One Head Has to Do Two Jobs Well
Your fairway wood needs to perform in two very different situations: launching cleanly off a tee like a mini-driver, and getting the ball airborne from a tight turf or fairway lie. A fitting session tests both, because a head and shaft combination that excels off the tee doesn't always perform the same off the deck.
We look closely at sole design and leading-edge camber — a wider, more rounded sole tends to glide through turf more forgivingly on a slightly steep attack angle, while a shallower sole suits golfers who sweep the ball with a flatter approach.
Six Variables, All Tested Against Your Swing
Loft Selection
The right loft depends on your swing speed and the gap you need to fill behind your driver — not simply the number stamped on the sole.
Sole Design
Wide, rounded soles glide through contact for steeper attack angles; shallower soles suit a sweeping strike pattern.
Shaft Weight & Flex
Fairway wood shafts are typically lighter than driver shafts but still need to match your transition to control spin and dispersion.
Center of Gravity
Low, deep CG heads launch higher with more forgiveness; more compact, neutral CG heads suit golfers who want to shape shots and control trajectory.
Adjustability
Many modern fairway woods offer loft and face-angle adjustment — we'll dial these in during your session rather than leaving them at the factory setting.
Gapping With the Driver
Your fairway wood loft should create a clean distance gap behind your driver — typically 25–35 yards, depending on swing speed.
Trust the Club, Not Just the Swing
Sessions cover both tee and turf strikes, so your new club performs in every situation you'll actually face on the course.
