Fairways

Fairway woods are an essential part of a golfers armory. Often you will require more than one and choosing from the multitude of companies can be daunting. Many clubs are now adjustable and choosing the correct loft and shaft flex is very important. 

When you need a safe tee shot a three wood can keep you on the fairway however the main use for fairway woods are for the longer shots into the greens and for the longer par three holes.

The most commonly used fairway woods are the three, five and seven woods but you can still find some nine, eleven and thirteen woods but these are quite rare as the rescue clubs have a very similar use.

It is important to get the correct gapping within your set and you do not want to invest your money in two clubs that do the same job. For example we see many players using a seven wood and a number three rescue and typically these are about 21 degrees in loft and do a similar job.

Quite often you will see adjustable fairway woods and we think this is a great option and lets you fine tune your gapping.
