What does FW mean in SPORTS

FW stands for Fairway Wood, which is a type of golf club used to hit the ball further than an iron.

Fairway woods offer golfers more distance off the tee as well as added forgiveness when hitting shots. This makes them particularly useful for experienced players looking to add more accuracy and power from the fairways.

Compared to regular wood clubs, fairway woods have a much slimmer profile and shallower face angle, making them easier to launch off the ground without potential losses in accuracy or power.

There are many different types of fairway woods available on today's market, including 3-woods, 7-woods, and utility woods with various loft angles and shaft lengths designed for playing different styles of golf shots.

Choosing the right fairway wood comes down to personal preference as well as your skill level - if you need help selecting one that's right for you then it's best to discuss with your local pro shop or PGA professional instructor who can provide advice on which heads and shafts would perform best for you.
