01 / Role
Define the job first
Before a model is chosen, the club needs a purpose: a tee-shot alternative, a long approach club, or both. That decision drives loft and forgiveness priorities.
Fittings / Fairway woods
Two jobs, one club.
A fairway wood is asked to launch off the turf and to hold a controlled line off the tee. Those demands pull in different directions, which is why loft, head profile and shaft matter more here than in almost any other slot.
Start My Fit02 / Variables
Turf launch is the constraint
Head depth, centre of gravity, sole design, loft and shaft profile determine whether the ball gets airborne from a tight lie without ballooning off the tee.
03 / Fit
Connect it to the neighbours
The fairway wood must sit cleanly between the driver and whatever follows it, without duplicating a distance you already own.
04 / Outcome
A specified build
The blueprint names head, loft setting, shaft, flex, length, swing weight and grip, with rationale tied to your delivery.
