Fairway Wood Fitting

A fairway wood earns its keep off the deck, not the tee. That means the sole has to do more work here than on any other club in the bag.

The Sole Decides More Than You'd Think

Camber and Lie, Read Together

Too flat a lie on a wide-soled wood invites a toe catch on anything but a perfect strike. Nudge the lie a touch upright and pair it with the right camber, and the same head glides through firm turf instead of digging. None of that shows up until it's actually on the board.

We'll also set your current 3-wood or 5-wood against alternatives with different sole geometry at matching loft, so the turf-interaction difference is something you feel, not something described to you.

Three Things We Check First

Lie

A shallow face makes lie errors obvious fast – the tape mark shifts more per degree here than it does on an iron.

Sole Geometry

Width and camber decide how forgiving the head is on firm Middle Tennessee turf, separate from whatever lie angle sits above it.

Shaft Weight

Graphite weight changes clubhead speed, but it also changes how reliably you deliver the sole to the ball – we test the two together, not in isolation.

Stop Guessing at Turf Interaction

Bring your current fairway woods and we'll show you what the board says before you spend a dime.
