Fairway Support - Guides
In-depth reference guides, backed by real, dated data, not locker-room bragging.
Data guides
How far should you hit each club?
Real distances by handicap, plus the complete TrackMan Tour data for every club.
Weather and ball flight
The same swing can fly 40 yards differently depending on the day. Here is the real physics behind wind, temperature, rain, and elevation, with numbers you can actually use.
Strokes Gained
What it actually measures, with a full worked example, hole by hole.
Launch monitor numbers
The 5 numbers on the screen that actually matter, and what to mostly ignore.
Golf handicap
What your Handicap Index actually measures, how it is calculated, and how to get your own.
Center contact
Why missing the sweet spot by half an inch can cost way more than you think, and why it depends on the club.
Buying guides
How to choose your first set of irons
What actually matters for a first set, and what you can safely ignore.
Wedge bounce and grind
How to pick the right bounce and grind without guessing.
Golf ball compression
What compression rating actually affects, and what matters more.
When is it worth getting fitted?
When a fitting is worth paying for, and when your money is better spent elsewhere.
Putter fitting
Length, lie angle, and face-balance are the specs that actually change how your putts start and roll, and you can check most of them yourself without paying for a fitting.
Technique guides
Winter simulator training
A forgiving mat and a calculated distance number can teach you the wrong lessons all winter. Here is what to trust, what to watch for, and what to actually practice.
Tee height by club
One small setup detail changes where the ball meets the face, how high it launches, and how far it goes. What a USGA study found, and how high to tee every club.
Aimpoint green reading
How to read a green's slope by feel instead of eyeballing it.
How to hit a draw or a fade
The one relationship, face versus path, that actually controls the curve.
Golf swing tempo
The 3:1 ratio nearly every good swing shares, and how to actually train it.
Golf swing posture
Why 67% of amateurs lose their posture on the downswing, and what it actually costs in power, consistency, and back health.
Sequencing
The order your body should unwind in, and why getting it backwards costs you speed.
Backspin
The real physics behind spin, what actually kills it, and the numbers to aim for.
Gaining swing speed
Where real speed actually comes from, and how to add it without losing your swing.
