XDS Fairway Description, Specifications & Club Fitting
XDS Fairway Woods are especially well-suited to women, older players and those players who have trouble with consistency hitting long irons and mid irons.
Manufactured with high strength 17-4 stainless steel, XDS provide an very easy-to-hit alternative to hybrids and irons.
The low positioning of interior weight and the wider sole make them very easy to get airborne for any player. XDS are longer hitting than irons due to the longer length than conventional irons.
The ultra-thin, variable thickness club face provides a boost to ball speed and longer distance.
XDS have a mid-size head volume with a smooth, dynamic shape that produces lower spin and higher flight.
Available in Right Hand Only

How Far Do Golfers Really Hit Drives
"I hit my drives 270 yards."
Hah! Maybe once, with the wind behind you, on a rock-hard fairway, when the ball bounced off a cart path and a squirrel advanced it an extra 10 yards. On no subject are golfers, especially male golfers, more deluded than on the distance they hit their drives.
Here are the brutal facts, accumulated by Dave Pelz over several years of monitoring thousands of players at amateur tournaments. He used the same ShotLink equipment used by the PGA Tour to determine that, in 2018, the world’s best players averaged 291 yards off the tee.
Male amateurs who score 100 + have average drives of 166 yards
Male amateurs who score 92 - 99 average 183 yards
Male amateurs who score 82 - 88 average 214 yards
Male amateurs who score low 70's average 235 yards.
As for actual yardage hit by golfers, you need to know that MOST golf courses do NOT measure the yardages correctly. Scorecard yardages are often 60 - 80 yards longer than what the hole really is.

Wrist Cock Release Point on Downswing
1. Early Release means the downswing to the ball is started with the hands. Generally done by beginners or higher scoring players who score 90 +.
2. Midway Release means the downswing to the ball is started with some body movement before the hands start to uncock. Generally done by Intermediate Players who score 82 - 89.
3. Late Release means the downswing to the ball is started by weight shift in the legs, followed by the trunk of the body and finally the hands uncocking very near impact with the ball. Always done by advanced players who score 70 - 79.
