Epic Flash Star Fairway loft progression
The loft map is ordered by actual static loft, which matters for named options such as Heavenwood that do not always sit numerically between the wood labels around them. Head shape, centre of gravity and shaft length can still make equal-loft fairway woods fly differently.
Where are the tightest and widest loft gaps?
The tightest static gap is 2° between 7-wood and 9-wood. The widest is 3° between 3-wood and 5-wood. Those are the first transitions worth checking if real carry gaps look compressed or stretched.

How the Epic Flash Star Fairway lofts affect the shot
Loft is one of the biggest inputs into launch, trajectory, rollout and stopping power. The table below translates each Epic Flash Star Fairway loft into its likely loft-only shot tendency.
Low–mid launch • Moderate–high roll
Very high launch • Very high stopping
Low–mid → Very high launch tendency
Distance → control as loft increases
| Club | Loft | Launch Tendency | Flight Window | Roll Tendency | Stopping Tendency | Loft-Driven Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3W | 15° | Low–mid | Strong / penetrating | Moderate–high | Low–moderate | Distance-first fairway slot |
| 5W | 18° | Mid | Balanced | Moderate | Moderate | Versatile distance / approach slot |
| 7W | 21° | Mid–high | Higher / softer | Low–moderate | Moderate–high | Approach / long-par-3 friendly slot |
| 9W | 23° | High | High / soft | Lower | High | High-launch approach slot |
| 11W | 25° | Very high | Very high / steep | Lowest | Very high | Maximum-height / stopping-power slot |
What the loft gaps mean for shot separation
- 3-wood → 5-wood: 3° — Moderate loft step — a conventional separation on paper.
- 5-wood → 7-wood: 3° — Moderate loft step — a conventional separation on paper.
- 7-wood → 9-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
- 9-wood → 11-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
Fairway-wood note: Lower-loft woods are biased toward speed, flatter flight and more rollout; higher-loft woods trade some distance for easier launch, steeper descent and more stopping power. A high-loft fairway can therefore behave very differently from a hybrid with the same number on the sole.
Epic Flash Star Fairway distance-to-control map
| Part of lineup | Reference club | Loft | What the loft favors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distance end | 3-wood | 15° | Low–mid launch, moderate–high roll, stronger distance bias |
| Middle | 7-wood | 21° | Mid–high launch, more balanced carry/control role |
| Control end | 11-wood | 25° | Very high launch, very high stopping tendency, stronger control bias |
Spec note: Factory lofts can vary by model year, region, handedness or special configuration. Verify an exact club against Callaway documentation when a single degree matters for fitting, replacement or bending.
