Fairway Wood Fitting
A fairway wood has to do two jobs a driver never faces — launch cleanly off a tight lie and clear the turf without digging — and CG height governs both.
Sole Camber Meets Mass Placement
A shallow-faced fairway wood with a low CG launches easily but can dig on a descending strike. A slightly higher CG paired with the right sole camber glides through firm turf without sacrificing launch. We read both on the rig before a single ball is struck.
We also compare your current 3-wood or 5-wood against alternatives with a different CG height at the same loft, so you see the launch and spin difference directly, not on a chart.
What We Check Beyond Loft
Face Depth
Shallow faces move mass lower for easier launch; deeper faces raise CG for a flatter, more penetrating flight off the tee.
Sole Width & Camber
A wider, more cambered sole resists digging on firm high-desert turf, independent of the head's internal CG placement.
Shaft Weight
A lighter graphite shaft can add clubhead speed but changes how consistently you deliver the CG to the ball — we test both together.
