Fairway Wood Fitting
Plenty of fairway wood fittings never leave the tee box. Ours doesn't stop there, because the club has to earn its keep off turf just as often as it does off a peg.
What a Tee-Only Fitting Misses
The tee-shot portion looks a lot like a mini driver session — launch and carry logged off a peg first. From there we shift to a mat set up to mimic a tight lie, because a sole that glides cleanly off a tee can still drag or twist the moment the leading edge has to cut through turf on its own.
Whatcom County's compact, glacial-till fairways tend to reward a different camber profile than the softer, looser turf most national fitting charts are written around — a detail that a tee-only session has no way of catching.
Three Things We Adjust Beyond Loft
Sole Camber
A rounder sole from heel to toe forgives a slightly fat or thin strike; a flatter sole rewards a more consistent low point but punishes mistakes harder.
Face Depth
Shallower faces tend to launch a given loft higher; deeper faces suit players chasing a lower, more penetrating window through Bellingham's usual overcast.
Shaft Weight
A touch heavier than the driver shaft often tightens strike consistency off turf, even if it costs a small amount of clubhead speed.
Get Checked Off the Tee and Off the Deck
Sessions run about an hour and always include turf-mat testing — a tee-shot-only fitting isn't something we offer on its own.
