Fairway Wood Fitting
A fairway wood asks you to stand a little closer to the ball than a driver but still play it forward in your stance — a combination that shifts eye-line in a way most golfers never notice until it's measured.
Two Setups, One Eye-Line to Protect
Most golfers use the same fairway wood off the tee and off the turf, but the setup posture for each is subtly different — ball position, stance width, and spine tilt all shift slightly depending on the lie. We photograph both setups from overhead and compare your eye-line in each.
If your read is consistent in one setup but not the other, that's usually a posture issue specific to the lie, not a swing flaw. We isolate which one before touching a shaft or head recommendation.
The Build Decisions That Matter Most
Lie Angle
A fairway wood that's too upright or too flat for your posture changes how your eyes sit over the ball, independent of anything the head design is doing.
Length
Set to match your natural, repeatable posture off the deck specifically, since a length that only works off a tee is only solving half the problem.
Crown & Topline Design
Some heads carry a bold alignment stripe visible from address, others rely on subtle shaping — we test which style your eyes read most consistently from both lies.
Confirm Your Fairway Wood Setup
Sessions run 45–60 minutes and test both tee and turf setups side by side.
