After four rounds of golf in the LACC, it was Windham Clark who walked away from the US Open with his first major championship. That meant good news for us, too: We got a chance to talk about his interesting woodwork setup.
The fairway wood in question is a TaylorMade Stealth 2 that was intentionally engineered for accuracy by not only playing under standard length but also by leaning into a low loft (bent to 15 degrees for 16.5). This specification helps promote a Windham stock fade shot and more focused face contact because the shorter length encourages a slightly downward stroke at impact, making it ideal for fairway wood.
Although the general public is not able to have their wood heads custom-built to spec like the pros, adjustable sleeves like those found on a number of fairground woods on the market give golfers the opportunity to get the same level of customization at the tour level without the risk of a head break. .
All you need to do as a golfer is consider what you are trying to achieve with the club you are modifying. Next, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to properly set the paddle using the torque wrench provided. In just a few moments, you can go from a club you struggle with to one that is your best friend on the course.
