Fairway Wood Fitting
Fairway woods have to do double duty — a confident tee shot on shorter holes and a reliable strike from the deck when you're going for the green. We fit both scenarios, not just one.
Tee Shots and Deck Shots, Measured Separately
We log launch angle, spin rate, axis tilt, and attack angle from a tee, then run the same swing off a turf mat, since your delivery and strike location often change between the two. A head that performs well off the tee can behave very differently on ground contact.
Sole width and camber play a bigger role here than in any other club category — a sole that catches the turf even slightly can twist the face open at the worst possible moment.
What Actually Changes in a Fairway Wood Fitting
Sole Width & Camber
A wider, more cambered sole glides through turf more forgivingly for steep attack angles, while a shallower, less cambered sole suits players who sweep the ball.
Loft
Real fairway wood lofts often run stronger than what's stamped on the head. We check actual loft against your launch numbers rather than trusting the label.
Shaft Weight & Flex
A shaft that's too light can add spin and inconsistency from turf contact; too heavy, and strike quality drops off from the deck specifically.
Head Size
Smaller, more compact heads generally launch lower and suit players who want more shot-shaping control from the fairway.
Face Angle
Even a slightly open or closed face at address changes starting direction and axis tilt on every fairway wood swing, more visibly than with shorter clubs.
Length
A properly fit length keeps strike location centered on the face from both the tee and the turf, instead of favoring one over the other.
Dial In Your Fairway Woods
Sessions run 45–60 minutes and test heads from both a tee and a turf mat, so your fitting matches how you'll actually use the club.
