Fairway Wood Fitting

Fairway woods ask more of your release than almost any other club — they get hit off a tee and off tight turf, often on the same hole. A release that's shallow enough for the fairway but not so shallow it kills your tee-shot distance is a narrower window than most golfers realize.

Why It's Different From Driver Fitting

Shallower Attack Angles Change the Release Math

Most golfers deliver a fairway wood with a shallower, more sweeping attack angle than a driver, which shifts when the release naturally wants to happen. A shaft profile that felt great in the driver fitting can feel completely different once we drop into fairway wood attack angles.

We capture release timing separately for fairway wood swings rather than assuming driver data transfers directly, since the two rarely match exactly.

What We Adjust

Head and Shaft Choices That Follow Your Release

Sole Design

A wider, more rounded sole forgives a release that arrives slightly late off tight turf; a shallower sole suits players whose release is already consistent through the ball.

Loft Spread

We map your fairway wood loft against your release-matched driver loft so there's no distance overlap or gap between the two.

Shaft Profile

Fairway wood shafts often need a different kick point than a driver shaft to match the same golfer's release, even at similar overall weight.
