High-degree lofted fairway woods such as a 7-wood or a 9-wood may not be everyone's first choice of club to put in their bag, especially not for a professional. However, over the last few years, there has been a moving trend for tour pros to use this type of fairway wood.
These clubs' qualities such as adding more height, increased ball speed, more versatility and ease of use, have meant they have overtaken clubs like a 3-iron or a 4-hybrid, in players' preferences.
