How each 917F3 Fairway Wood loft changes the shot
| Club | Loft | What that loft changes |
|---|---|---|
| 13.5° option | 13.5° | This is a very strong fairway loft, closest to a mini-driver style distance slot. |
| 15° option | 15° | This sits in the strong fairway zone, with a flatter flight and more tee bias than the higher-loft options. It sits 1.5° above the previous option. |
For fairway woods, the useful question is not simply which loft goes farthest. The better loft is the one that launches reliably from the lies you actually use and leaves a clean carry gap to both the driver and the next club down.
