Fairway Wood Fitting

Fairway wood fitting focuses on finding the right combination of loft, head style, shaft profile, and length to help the golfer launch the ball consistently from both the tee and the turf.

These clubs are harder to hit than drivers because of their smaller heads and lower loft options, so the fitting centers on achieving reliable launch, proper spin, and clean contact. A good fairway wood should fly high enough to hold greens on longer approach shots while still giving the golfer a confident option off the tee.

Fitters test different lofts, head shapes, and shaft profiles to match the golfer’s swing speed and delivery.

They also watch contact location, because many golfers struggle to hit fairway woods high on the face when hitting from the ground.

Adjustments in loft, shaft length, and head design can make a big difference. The end goal is a fairway wood setup that feels stable, launches easily, and fills the right distance gap between the driver and the longest iron or hybrid.
