can't hit a high launch 3 wood but can smash a hybrid

[Deleted member 15344]

I swapped to a 17degree 3 wood and it goes like a rocket and certainly further than I could hit a 15degree one

17yds longer-ier!!! :thup:

Fixed that for ya!

I think Hobbit had the 17 degree in the rbz and Justone had a hit and mullered it lol. They arent short clubs

Gibbo use your shots you don't need the 4 wood off the deck distance, very few golfers do layup with a club you have confidence in.

its a man thing.... got to go for it

maybe thats why my handicap wont come down lol

I don't hit a 3w off the deck. There's no point. It's carnage.

My 17 degree 4 wood is fine. If I can't reach with that, I can't reach.

wait till your swing changes kick in Murph, you will be smashing it

A 17° 3 wood has to be easier to hit than a 15° one, it just has to be.
I would be very surprised if the majority of golfers get a significant distance gap between a 3 wood and a 5 wood, mostly there's 3° between them - what's that? About 10 yards? If hit well…..
Don't forget we're talking about average golfers, not low single figure players who make 8 or 9 out 10 3 wood shots.
I suspect more players will hit a 17° wood further than a 15°...

Lot of sense in that,but as we all know,the correct shaft is the key to more consistancy,as well as loft etc..I have a burner superfast 2.0.re-ax stock regulalar shaft 15 degree,great club,more than paid for itself.

Yeah, right! I admire your optimism!

There are few better feelings in golf than a well struck 3 wood off the deck, it's worth the 4 out of 5 horror stories.

hitting a 3 wood off the deck is not hard. getting it airborne is quite easy. where it ends up is the hard bit!

Not being rude ... But you have pretty much summed up why your where you are!
I used to practice hitting my 3 wood off the deck, simply to make sure I could hit it off a tee. Nowadays my 3 wood is for off the tee, my 5 wood is for long shots off fairways. But seriously look at it like this you could play you 3 wood HL ( or 4 wood) and 2 x 7 irons and cover over 500 yards with a degree of accuracy !

harpo, stop being reasonable

I could probably play 3 x 7 irons on par 5's and be on the green lol. Actually, maybe I have missed a trick here!!!

Sorry! It's your lucky night, usually I am unreasonable and a grump ...

I tried a shorter 3 wood with some success but really for risk reward for me its not worth it normally. Have been trying it though and a shallower attack angle and slower swing help me.
