Looking for a fairway wood that’s easy to launch, incredibly versatile, and reliable from the most awkward lies? In today’s video, I test a high-lofted fairway wood for the very first time, and the results honestly shocked me. From bare lies, semi-rough, and even off the tee, the extra loft made this club unbelievably playable. If you’ve ever struggled with a 3 wood or 5 wood, this might be the upgrade your long game needs. But there’s a HUGE mistake many golfers make… 👉 You should NEVER buy a fairway wood in the loft you think you want, unless you already hit the ball perfectly straight. Why? Because your ball flight, face angle, and shot shape all change depending on how you set the loft sleeve. In this video we break down: ✔️ Why higher loft fairway woods are more forgiving ✔️ How loft affects face angle and directional bias ✔️ How to use the loft sleeve to fine tune your ball flight ✔️ How to set up your fairway wood to your preferred loft and shot shape ✔️ The best loft choices for different swing types ✔️ Real shots from tough lies to show the difference in performance Whether you’re looking for more confidence off the deck, better results from rough lies, or a backup club for tight tee shots, this high lofted fairway wood might be the most underrated option in your bag. ⸻ ⛳ Chapters 0:00 – First Impressions 1:45 – Testing off the Tee 3:28 – Testing from an awkward lie 5.00 – Why You Shouldn’t Order the Loft You Think You Need ⸻ 🔔 Subscribe for More Golf Reviews & Tips!
