As they are even stiffer than stiff flex, extra stiff bend very little during the golf swing, helping maintain a stable clubface through impact. This provides greater control, a lower ball flight and more consistent accuracy for fast swingers. Using the correct extra stiff flex shaft allows golfers to maximise distance while keeping their shots precise and predictable.

Extra stiff flex shafts are built for golfers with the fastest of swing speeds. Typically very experienced players or professionals. Ideal for high clubhead speeds as they wont bend as much during the swing and will help those with fast swings maintain control over the ball.

Choosing the right shaft depends on swing speed and tempo. Golfers with faster swings need a stiffer shaft and slower needing a softer shaft. If you're unsure on what you need, you can get fit by a professional, work it out from your distances or simply drop one of our team a message and we'll help guide you to the flex you need.

The main difference is loft and distance. A 3-wood typically has a loft of 13–16 degrees and is used for maximum distance off the tee or from the fairway. A 5-wood offers more loft (17–19 degrees) and is easier to hit, making it versatile for various situations. A 7-wood has even more loft (20–22 degrees), providing higher launch and softer landing, perfect for longer approach shots. Higher-lofted woods are generally more forgiving and easier to control, but of course offer less distance.

Absolutely. If a fairway wood is in good condition, you'll see minimal performance difference compared to new models. Modern fairway wood technology has evolved gradually, so a quality pre-owned club can still deliver excellent distance, forgiveness, and feel. It's a smart way to access premium performance without the premium price.

Yes, some fairway woods come with adjustable loft and lie angles. If your club has an adjustable hosel, you can fine-tune loft and face angle to suit your swing. Fixed-hosel models are more limited, but a fitter can still help with grip changes or shaft adjustments to improve performance.

Each used fairway wood listed on NEXT2NEWGOLF includes detailed photos and condition notes so you can see exactly what you're getting. Clubs are inspected before being listed to ensure they meet quality standards. You'll find transparent descriptions that highlight any wear so that you can shop with confidence.

Used fairway woods typically include headcovers, and if there’s one either stated in the product description or shown in the photos, it will include one. If a headcover isn't included, you can shop for replacements separately on our site at great prices.

Most golfers replace their fairway woods every 5–7 years as technology improves and wear accumulates. However, if your current fairway wood still performs well and suits your game, there's no need to rush. Signs it might be time for an upgrade include visible wear on the face, reduced distance, or difficulty consistently launching the ball.
