What wood is a 16 degree loft?
Besides the stamp of approval from professionals, the 16 degree is an ideal loft for the average golfer. It is effectively a weakened 3-wood or a strengthened 4-wood. The club makes it easy to get your ball in the air, and you will enjoy a more consistent carry distance.
What would a 3 wood replace?
A 3 wood is more suitable for replacing a driver off the tee than a 5 wood. The higher loft on the 5 wood will create a higher launch and thus a decrease in distance. The higher ball flight generate by a 5 wood will result in a softer landing and lose out on the amount of roll you may get.
Does a 3 wood have the same loft as a 3 iron?
Same loft doesn't equate to same distance: Firstly, all 3 clubs have different shaft lengths, with fairway woods being the longest and utility irons the shortest. To put it simply, the longer shaft lengths mean golfers can create more club head speed and therefore equates to more distance.Aug 6, 2019
What clubs do fairway Woods replace?
Many golfers prefer hitting a high-lofted wood into a green than a hard-to-hit long iron. The larger clubhead of a fairway wood compared to an iron makes it easier to achieve more distance without over-swinging. As a general rule of thumb, a 5-wood would replace a 2-iron a 7-wood the 3- or 4-iron, a 9-wood the 5-iron.
