And the problem most often cited is difficulty getting fairway wood shots airborne. Fortunately, the recently minted Air Force One Air Foil Fairway Woods are here to help.<\/p>\n<p>Available in 15-degree 3-wood and 19-degree 5-wood models, the new Air Foils follow the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afogolf.com\/\">Air Force One<\/a> brand\u2019s easy-to-hit design objective, including irons introduced earlier this year and the <a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/golf\/equipment\/880\/small-victories-\u2026ten-golf-picture\">Air Force One driver<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The driver and fairway woods feature \u201cNitrogen Charged\u201d technology, essentially injecting compressed nitrogen into the clubhead to reinforce it without adding weight. This in turn increases the \u201ctrampoline effect,\u201d the speed at which the club face returns to square at impact, with ball speed and distance increasing accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cdual slot wave\u201d sole of the club is designed to generate a high launch angle and tight dispersion, that is, less \u201cspraying\u201d of shots.<\/p>\n<p>Science aside, this reporter can confirm anecdotally that the Air Foils seem to make it easier to get loft on balls hit off the fairway. Plus, they\u2019re kind of cool-looking; and to channel the Ricardo Montalban character from old Saturday Night Live broadcasts: \u201cIt is better to look good than to feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the new Air Force One Air Foil Fairway Woods, you don\u2019t have to choose.<\/p>\n<p>#\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0#<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ask your average golfer the most difficult clubs in the bag to hit solidly and the answer will likely be&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/golf\/equipment\/1068\/new-air-foil-woods-lift-off\" title=\"ReadNew Air Foil Woods Lift Off\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1069,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,3],"tags":[980175,1005361,1005362],"class_list":["post-1068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf","category-equipment","tag-ricardo-montalban","tag-air-force-one","tag-air-foil-fairway-woods"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/AIR-FOIL-FAIRWAY-1-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1068"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1070,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068\/revisions\/1070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/tomharack\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
