To help slower-swing-speed players generate speed, higher launch and distance, HL fairways are engineered with a lighter back weight, ultralight PING ALTA Quick shaft, and Lamkin UTx Lite grip. The MAX HL model is available in five lofts, including a new 4-wood, to provide more gapping solutions. The face is taller for confidence off the tee while maintaining a CG location that delivers high-launching performance off the ground.
Maximizing your distance and accuracy on long shots from the fairway is accomplished by matching the correct shaft flex for your swing. The goal is to achieve the correct trajectory with the fairway wood, which maximizes distance with the longer woods and minimizes roll with the shorter woods.
Generally, the same shaft type and flex as your driver will produce the optimal trajectory in fairway woods, but it is not uncommon for players to have a different shaft brand, type and/or flex in their fairway woods since they are ground-impact clubs and may perform differently for some players.
