Light and Flex Lady Shaft: What Sets Women's Woods Apart

A fairway wood for women combines a head designed to launch the ball and a shaft that is lighter and more flexible, in Lady flex. At TaylorMade, the women's versions of the Stealth feature an Ascent shaft, while the Qi Max Lite comes with a Fujikura AirSpeeder, both very light. The grip has a smaller diameter, suitable for finer hands, which helps relax the forearms. Together, this aids in generating head speed without straining, the key to increasing distance from the fairway with a moderate swing, and helps lift the ball where a too-stiff club would keep it close to the ground.

The Other Clubs

Women's clubs also include:

• Drivers.
• Hybrids.
• Iron Sets.
• Single Irons.
• Wedges.
• Putters.
• Golf Kit.

All clubs are listed on the women's clubs page.

Three, Five, or Seven Wood: Which Loft to Choose

The three wood, around fifteen or sixteen degrees, is the longest but requires good swing speed to lift off the fairway. The five wood, around eighteen or nineteen degrees, like the Skymax Ice at nineteen degrees, is the most versatile: it launches high from mown grass as well as from light rough. The seven wood, over twenty degrees, is a great replacement for long irons, which can be difficult to play. Many female golfers pair a five wood and a seven wood and prefer heads with a low centre of gravity, like the Cleveland CG XL Launcher, which forgive off-centre hits.

Fixing a Slice and Avoiding Distance Gaps

For right-handed players whose ball curves to the right, the HD models, for high draw, like the TaylorMade Stealth HD, shift mass towards the heel to help close the face at impact and promote a slight draw trajectory. You should then choose your woods consistent with your driver: same shaft family and same flex for a uniform feel and regular distance gaps of about ten metres between clubs. As the rules limit the bag to fourteen clubs, a well-placed wood helps avoid carrying an unnecessary one. Lastly, a fitting confirms the ideal loft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lady flex on a fairway wood?

It's the softest and lightest shaft in the range, designed for moderate swing speeds. It flexes more on the downswing, helping to lift the ball and gain head speed without forcing.

Which fairway wood to choose when starting golf?

A light five wood with a wide head and low centre of gravity, like the TaylorMade Qi Max Lite or the Cleveland CG XL Launcher, forgives off-centre strikes and launches easily. This builds confidence before considering a three wood.

How to hit a fairway wood from the fairway?

Position the ball slightly ahead of centre in your stance and sweep the grass rather than hitting down. The loft of the club is sufficient to lift the ball: there's no need to try to lift it, just maintain a smooth and steady rhythm.

What length fairway wood for a woman?

Women's woods generally measure two and a half centimetres shorter than men's versions, making it easier to control and centre. However, a taller female golfer might play a standard length, which should be confirmed during a fitting.

How to maintain fairway woods?

Wipe the face after each shot and brush the grooves to remove dirt and grass. The headcover protects the finish from damage in the bag, and the grip should be cleaned with soapy water and replaced as soon as it becomes smooth.
