Fairway Woods

The fairway wood is the golf club most often used from the fairway or rough as a 2 nd shot on Par 4 and Par 5 holes. The fairway wood may also be used off of a tee peg as the 1 st shot on long Par 3 holes, or Par 4 and Par 5 holes that require a specific distance less than the driver. A shorter golf club than the driver in terms of both club length and distance, the lofts on fairway woods typically range from 13 degrees to over 30 degrees. Early fairway woods were constructed from a combination of wood and forged or stamped metal components, while the vast majority of current-day fairway woods are constructed of advanced, high performance steel, titanium and graphite materials. Popular fairway wood brands include Ben Hogan fairway woods, Callaway fairway woods, Cobra fairway woods, Titleist fairway woods, Nike fairway woods, Mizuno fairway woods, and TaylorMade fairway woods to name a few.
