Tour Fairway Wood

Tour fairway woods are low-spin, workable designs built for players who want to shape shots off the tee or from the fairway with surgical precision.

Best suited for low-handicap players with swing speeds above 95 mph who prioritize shot-shaping and trajectory control over maximum forgiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What swing speed should I have to use a tour fairway wood?

Most fitters recommend 95+ mph driver swing speed for tour fairway woods. Below that, the lower-spin design can cost you distance and consistency from the fairway.

What's the difference between a tour and players-distance fairway wood?

Tour fairway woods sacrifice some forgiveness for workability and lower spin. Players-distance designs are slightly more forgiving while retaining the ability to shape shots.

Should I play a 3-wood or 5-wood with a tour design?

For tee use at 100+ mph, a 3-wood gives you the most distance and control. If you primarily use it from the fairway or tight lies, a 5-wood is easier to launch cleanly.

What shaft flex is right for a tour fairway wood?

Stiff to X-Stiff depending on your exact swing speed. At 100+ mph, X-Stiff helps control spin. At 90-100 mph, Stiff is typically the right fit.
