Benefits of Used Fairway Woods

For golfers of all abilities, exploring used fairway woods for sale is a good way to upgrade your game without overspending. Here’s why:

• Great Value vs. New: Buying second-hand can save you a significant amount of money without compromising on quality or performance. 
• Top Brands at Lower Prices: Get access to premium brands like Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping, and more for a fraction of the cost. Many of the clubs we sell are ex-demo and in some cases have never actually been used on the course. Whether you want a forgiving 5 wood golf club, 7 wood golf club or a lower-spin 3 wood, there is a setup to suit your game.
• Eco-Friendly Golf Equipment Choice: Buying used helps reduce environmental impact by giving quality clubs a second life.
  

At NNGC, you’re not just buying a golf club; you’re making a smart and sustainable investment in your game.

How it works

Checked before listing

Each second hand fairway wood is reviewed and photographed by our experts before being uploaded to the website. The head, face, shaft and grip are checked so the listing reflects the club’s condition as clearly as possible. This allows you to browse with a clearer view of condition, specification and price before choosing the club that suits your game.

Clear condition grading

Our experts grade every fairway wood so you know what to expect before you buy. Whether a club is mint, very good or good, the aim is to make condition easy to understand before it reaches your bag.

Compare the right options

Browse by club type, brand, shaft flex, loft, condition and price. Whether you need a second hand driver, fairway wood, hybrid, iron set, wedge or putter, you can compare suitable options online before ordering.

Fast UK delivery

Order by 12pm and we will aim to dispatch your clubs quickly, so you can get them into play as soon as possible.

30 day returns

You need to feel confident with your clubs on the course. That is why we offer 30 day returns, giving you time to make sure your used clubs suit your swing and setup.

Fairway Woods Buying Guide

How to choose the right used fairway wood

Fairway woods are designed to launch the ball higher than long irons while offering more control than a driver. The right one helps you attack longer holes, hit more greens from distance, and gain confidence from the tee on tighter holes.

Most golfers benefit more from forgiveness and launch than low spin or workability. Start with loft and club type first, then refine head shape and shaft.

Selecting the right fairway wood depends on a number of factors:

• Typical Ball Flight: If you tend to hit the ball low, a higher lofted fairway wood can help you achieve a better launch angle. Conversely, if you struggle with a high, ballooning ball flight, a lower lofted club might provide more control.
• Distance Gapping: It’s essential to select a fairway wood that fills the right distance gap between your driver and your longest iron or hybrid. Too much overlap can waste a spot in your bag.
• Course Conditions and Playing Style: If you often play tight fairways, a 3-wood might be a great alternative to your driver off the tee. For softer courses, a higher-lofted 5- or 7-wood can help with shots from the fairway or rough.

If you’re unsure where to start, use our Online Fitting Service or speak to our team of experts for personalised advice tailored to your swing and playing style.

By skill level

Beginner

Struggle to launch long irons consistently or hit thin shots from the fairway. Choose higher lofted fairway woods like 5 woods or 7 woods with shallow faces, larger heads, and lower centres of gravity to help launch the ball higher and keep mishits straighter.

Mid handicapper

Want more consistent distance from the fairway and tee. Choose forgiving fairway woods with balanced launch and spin characteristics, typically around 17° to 19° loft.

Lower handicap / stronger ball striker

Want lower spin, more workability, and stronger flight from the tee or into the wind. Choose compact 3 woods with lower lofts around 13° to 15° and more neutral weighting.

3 wood vs 5 wood vs 7 wood

3 wood (13° to 16°)

Longest fairway wood option. Strong from the tee and useful on tighter driving holes, but harder to launch consistently from the ground due to lower loft and longer shaft length.

5 wood (17° to 19°)

The most versatile fairway wood for most golfers. Easier launch, more forgiveness, and better turf interaction than a 3 wood while still producing strong distance.

7 wood (20° to 22°)

Higher launch and softer landing flight. Excellent replacement for difficult long irons and ideal for golfers who struggle to launch longer clubs consistently.

Prefer a more compact long-game option? Compare our hybrid golf clubs for long-iron replacement forgiveness, or browse driving irons for sale if you want a lower, more iron-like flight from the tee.

Loft: what to choose

Loft changes launch height, spin, and forgiveness. More loft helps get the ball airborne more easily and improves stopping power into greens.

13° to 15°

Lower launch with more rollout. Best for stronger swings and tee-shots.

17° to 19°

Balanced launch and distance. The best all-round loft range for most golfers.

20° to 22°

Higher launch and softer landing flight. Easier from the turf and rough.

Many modern fairway woods include adjustable hosels, allowing loft and lie angle changes to fine-tune launch and flight.

Shaft flex: match your swing

Shaft flex affects strike consistency, launch, and control.

Regular flex

Suits smoother swing speeds around 80–93mph. Helps increase launch and maintain consistency.

Stiff flex

Suits faster swing speeds around 93–98mph. Produces tighter dispersion and lower spin.

X-Stiff flex

Built for very fast swing speeds with aggressive transitions and swing speeds above 101mph.

If your fairway woods launch too low or feel difficult to square up, the shaft may be too stiff. If they feel unstable or launch too high, it may be too soft.

Head design: what to look for

Larger forgiving heads

Larger profiles with weight positioned lower and further back increase forgiveness and help maintain speed on off-centre strikes.

Compact heads

Smaller profiles produce lower spin and more workability but are less forgiving.

Shallow face fairway woods

Easier to launch from the turf due to lower face height and improved turf interaction.

Deep face fairway woods

Better suited to tee shots and mid to low handicap players who strike the centre consistently.

Quick decision guide

If you struggle to launch long clubs

Choose a 5 wood or 7 wood with lofts around 18° to 22° and a shallow face design.

If you mainly use it from the tee

Choose a stronger lofted 3 wood around 13° to 15° with a deeper face.

If you want softer landing into greens

Choose higher lofted fairway woods with more spin and forgiveness.

If you miss the centre often

Choose larger heads with perimeter weighting and lower centres of gravity.

If you play on tighter or windy courses

Choose a lower lofted compact 3 wood for lower launch and more rollout.

If you are not sure what to choose

Start with a forgiving 5 wood around 18° with a regular flex shaft.

Condition guide

Every used fairway wood is individually inspected on arrival and graded across the face, crown, sole, shaft, and grip. We grade conservatively, so the condition shown is what you receive.

Mint (9 to 10 out of 10)

Minimal or no use

• Face: little to no strike marks
• Crown: clean with minimal visible wear
• Shaft and grip: close to new condition
  Often hit only a few times, if at all

Very Good (8 out of 10)

Light use, very clean overall

• Face: light strike marks from limited rounds
• Crown: small cosmetic marks visible only on close inspection
• Shaft and grip: very good condition with light signs of use

Good (6 to 7 out of 10)

Regular use, fully playable

• Face and sole: visible wear from normal play
• Crown: may show small sky marks or cosmetic wear
• Shaft: light bag wear or minor marks
• Grip: still usable or replaced if needed

Cosmetic wear does not affect launch, forgiveness, or distance performance.
