A 3 wood plays an important part in every golfer’s set. They are designed for distance off the tee and from the deck. A 3 wood is the perfect club for golfers who struggle to control their driver off the tee, while requiring more distance than a hybrid or their longest iron can provide. The average 3 wood has between 14 and 15 degrees of loft, though golfers looking for added distance may choose to bag a 3 wood plus which will usually have 13.5 degrees of loft and golfers looking for a bit more help may choose to bag a 16.5 degree higher launching 3 wood.

Benefit of using a 3 wood:

Off the tee
Struggling to find the short stuff? In comparison to a driver, the shorter shaft length in a fairway wood makes the 3 wood easier to control and helps golfers find the fairway more consistently, even on the tightest of tee shots. Try to remember this during those days when the driver doesn’t seem as grooved as the other clubs in your bag.

Off the deck
No other club is going to get you more distance off the deck. Hitting a driver off the deck can be extremely challenging, so a 3 wood may be the ideal choice for a variety of golfers, from better players looking to reach a long par 5 in 2, to those who require as much distance from the fairways as possible.
