Subject: Fairway Woods

I am wondering if you could discuss the fairway woods that you offer? How much longer are they than the irons? Why are they longer and how do they compare with other fairway woods on the market?

Click on the following link for information about our fairway woods: Woods

All club lengths and club-head lie angles should be the same within each functional grouping of golf clubs. What you have to bear in mind is that there is a distinct difference in design function between irons, fairway woods, and drivers. An iron is designed to pinch the ball against the turf using a down and through type of swing which requires an upright swing plane and a descending swing arc into the ball. On the other hand, fairway woods are designed to sweep the ball from the turf which requires a flatter swing plane and, hence, a longer club length than an iron. A driver is designed to sweep a ball that is teed up 1" to 2" off the ground which requires an even flatter swing plane than a fairway wood and therefore a slightly longer club length.
