With the help of Golf Laboratories’ swing-robot, GOLF’s 2023 ClubTest continues to deliver robotic testing insights on the newest equipment releases. We continue our fairway wood insights with the 5 models designed for high-toe misses. And click here to get the full rundown on every fairway wood for ’23.
With the high-toe miss being the most common for amateur golfers, knowing you have a club in the bag to combat the ensuing performance dropoff can reduce a lot of angst when you do miss the center. And it’s going to happen.
Thankfully, we found several fairway woods that produced nearly identical high-toe and geometric center carry distance numbers. It’s a reality with the 2023 crop, and we have the data to back it up.
If your common miss is high on the toe, the 5 fairway woods below are worth testing consideration. (Note: The smaller the number, the less distance dropoff you’ll see on mishits at 95 mph.)
