Choosing the right fairway wood

Fairway woods are often neglected and many people focus more on their driver or putter. However, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 woods are designed to be used for shorter distances and enable the player to make it on the green more efficiently, or at least get close to the pin. There’s a few things you need to understand before choosing a fairway wood:

Materials/Shaft

There are four possible materials that you would find for your fairway woods. These include steel, graphite, aluminum, and titanium. Each of these has been proven to offer decent benefits. Steel is the most affordable and often reserved for beginners, whereas, the graphite shaft is the most common among players. Finally, you would find that the clubface is often made from steel or carbon.

Length

One of the most important features would be to ensure that your golf clubs are the perfect length. The length of each fairway wood varies depending on the type you choose. Starting from the 3-wood, you will find that the length of these woods gets shorter as you move up to the 9-wood. The length of the club should complement your height and overall swing style.

Loft

The face or angle of the face of your club is another one of the more important features that you should keep in mind. It refers to the level of elevation that a player would get from playing a shot and how high the ball would travel. Woods have a higher loft than drivers and generally vary between 13 and 22 degrees depending on whether you pick a 3 or 7 wood. The higher the number, the higher the loft. A good club fitter can help you determine the ideal loft needed.

Spin

When you think of the driver or fairway woods, you might often think that the main goal is to hit the ball as straight and far as possible. However, the spin levels are a vital part of the game this is heavily affected by the clubface. Spin levels should be higher at slower swing speeds, whilst you should consider little spin when you are dealing with faster swing speeds.

Best brands for fairway woods

After determining that your next golf club would be a fairway wood, brands become important. Some players simply play better when using a specific brand. There are a few high-quality brands that you can choose from, but you should also know what each of them brings to the table.
