Frequently Asked Questions – Fairway Woods & Hybrids

What’s the difference between a fairway wood and a hybrid?

Fairway woods have a larger head and are designed for long-distance shots off the tee or fairway. Hybrids are more compact and combine the feel of an iron with the forgiveness of a wood—ideal for tough lies and longer approach shots.

When should I use a hybrid instead of a long iron?

Hybrids are easier to hit than long irons, especially from rough or tight lies. Many golfers replace their 3, 4, or even 5 irons with hybrids for more control and forgiveness.

What lofts do fairway woods and hybrids come in?

Fairway woods typically range from 15° (3-wood) to 22° (7-wood). Hybrids usually fall between 18° and 28°, with lofts matching or replacing long irons.

Can I carry both fairway woods and hybrids in my bag?

Absolutely. Many players carry a 3-wood for distance and one or two hybrids to bridge the gap between woods and irons.

How do I choose the right shaft and flex?

Swing speed is key—slower swings suit regular or graphite shafts, while faster swings may benefit from stiff or steel options. Check the product details, or ask us if you're unsure what to choose.

Are left-handed options available?

Yes—many fairway woods and hybrids come in both right- and left-handed options. You can select your preference on the product page.
