Fairway Woods or Hybrids - Choose One

With the growing popularity of Hybrid clubs, a number of my club fitting clients wonder which is right for them. The best gauge is your swing plane. If you have a “flatter” swing plane, Hybrids are better.. they are shorter and a bit flatter in the lie.

If your swing is more upright, the Fairway wood is generally a better choice. Have a friend stand behind you and watch your swing plane and see if the the club is below the angle of your left arm (right handed golfers) at the top of the swing, more around your body, a flat swing. If above, a more upright swing.
