Description

Woods are designed for long, less accurate shots. The driver, which is also classified as a wood, is crafted specifically for the initial shot from the tee. Other woods are tailored for shots from the fairway, hence they are often referred to as fairway woods. Higher-numbered woods prioritize precision and offer more loft for a higher trajectory, while lower-numbered clubs propel the golf ball farther with less loft, resulting in a lower trajectory.

The driver, the longest club in a golfer’s bag, typically features a loft between 10.5 and 12 degrees. It’s renowned for its length, allowing players to hit the ball the farthest. Fairway woods have smaller clubheads and more loft than the driver, ranging between 15 and 23 degrees. These woods can also be used for tee shots, especially on shorter holes or to maintain better control over the ball.
