Fairway Wood FAQ
How is a driver different from a fairway wood?
A fairway wood has a higher loft and shorter shaft than a driver and is generally used when there’s still a large distance to the green where irons wouldn’t be long enough to reach.
Why is loft important with a fairway wood?
The loft on a fairway wood is usually a few degrees higher than a driver, making it easier to get the ball elevated without losing a lot of distance. Fairway woods will still have a lower loft than other clubs in your bag like hybrids, irons, or wedges, making them ideal for longer distance shots to the green.
What kind of distances are fairway woods used for?
As with any other club, the distance you get out of your fairway wood will be highly dependent on your swing speed. Fairway woods can be used anywhere from 150 yards (very low swing speed) to 250 yards (very fast swing speed). You’ll get less distance from higher numbered/lofted fairway woods. For example, your 5 wood won’t travel as far as your 3 wood.
What is the cost range of Fairway woods?
Fairway woods range from the low hundreds to almost $600, with the average falling between $200 to 300 dollars.
