Should the TaylorMade r5 XL Fairway Wood be more upright or flatter?
A more upright fit may suit you if…
- Centred strikes tend to start right of target.
- The toe sits noticeably down at address or impact with your normal posture.
- You feel you must stand unusually close or raise your hands to make the club sit naturally.
- If the head is fixed, compare another build or fitting option rather than trying to bend the fairway-wood hosel.
A flatter fit may suit you if…
- Centred strikes tend to start left of target.
- The heel appears too low or catches the turf first.
- You naturally deliver the club with lower hands and the head looks too upright.
- If the head is fixed, use fitting or a different build rather than physically bending the head.
Look elsewhere first if…
- Your main miss is a hook or slice caused by face-to-path.
- Strike location changes substantially across the face.
- Launch or spin is the main issue rather than start direction.
- You have not tested the club at your normal playing length and posture.
Why playing length changes the lie fit
This model is listed at 43 inches. Playing length changes posture and hand height, so dynamic lie should be re-checked after any length change.
Verify the exact TaylorMade specifications before relying on these numbers
Golf-club specifications can differ by model year, loft, region, custom build and adjustable-hosel setting. Before buying, fitting or changing a club, compare these figures with TaylorMade’s official specifications for your exact model. If a measurement is critical, have the club checked by a qualified fitter. Verify with TaylorMade.
