Fairway Wood Fitting
Off the deck, the angle of attack is naturally shallower than a driver swing, which changes exactly when your hinge lets go. A fitting that ignores that timing shift usually leaves inconsistency on the table.
Same Golfer, Different Release Window
Many golfers hold their hinge slightly longer off the deck than off a tee, simply because the ball position and attack angle change the feel of the downswing. If your fairway wood grip and shaft are copies of your driver spec, that timing mismatch can show up as thin or fat contact even when your driver strikes are solid.
We measure hinge retention and unhinge timing specifically off turf-simulated lies, not just off a tee, so the fitting reflects how you actually play the club on the course.
What We Adjust for Fairway Wood Fittings
Shaft Tip Section
A stiffer tip section can help stabilize a hinge that wants to release early on a shallower swing, without changing the overall flex label.
Sole Design & CG
Center of gravity placement interacts with your delivered attack angle to shape launch and turf interaction independent of your grip and shaft choices.
Grip Match to Driver
We check whether your fairway wood grip should mirror your driver spec exactly or shift slightly, based on the retention difference we measure between the two clubs.
Dial In Your Off-the-Deck Consistency
Sessions run 45–60 minutes, testing your current fairway wood against demo heads and shaft options matched to your measured hinge retention off turf.
