How to choose fairway wood loft
What fairway wood loft changes, where fairway woods sit between your driver and your hybrids, and the lofts and adjustments 18 current fairway woods offer, from their makers.
Buying factors
What matters
Loft and gapping
Choose a loft that fills a real distance gap between your driver and your longest iron or hybrid. Loft numbers on the sole are a better guide than the club’s number, which makers do not standardize.
Off the tee or the ground
Some golfers use a fairway wood mainly from the tee, others mainly from the fairway. Shallower faces are generally easier to hit from the ground, while deeper faces suit tee shots.
Hybrid or fairway wood
Hybrids and fairway woods can cover similar distances. Many golfers find one easier to hit than the other, so it is worth trying both before deciding.
Shaft
Fairway wood shafts are usually a little shorter and heavier than driver shafts. Matching flex and weight sensibly to your driver keeps the set feeling consistent.
