Golf Fairway Woods

A 3 hybrid has a lower center of gravity and higher loft than a 3 wood which allows you to hit the ball higher whereas a fairway wood, with a lower loft angle, will achieve farther horizontal distance. Additionally, if you have a slower swing speed, a hybrid will make it easier to generate more power when you hit the ball.

Fairway woods are longer golf clubs that have lofts anywhere from 13 to 22 degrees. Fairway woods are used off the tee or from far away in the fairway or rough, have a lower center of gravity, and are lighter than other clubs.

Fairway woods and hybrids are two kinds of clubs used for hitting long shots from the fairway. A fairway wood tends to hit the ball farther with less spin, which means it flies lower but father than a hybrid. A hybrid is easier to hit and flies higher, and with more spin, which means the ball doesn't travel farther but has shorter stopping distance on the green.

Hybrids are excellent clubs to have in your bag when you need more spin, trajectory and height from the fairway or rough. The shorter shaft length makes them easier to hit than a traditional fairway wood and they offer great forgiveness due to their deeper center of gravity and improved MOI. Many players tend to find hybrids easier to hit than fairway woods.

The name "fairway woods" came about because they are typically used on the fairway area of the golf course, which is closer to the green than the woods, rough, or traps.

A golf tool, also known as a torque wrench, is used to take apart the clubhead and shaft in order to adjust loft and lie, and weights on the sole of the club. Most torque wrenches are universal and will work for any driver or fairway wood.
