3 Wood Shaft Length

Some players have very little difference in the shaft size between their 3 wood and 5 woods golf clubs.

3 wood shaft length. Looking at the difference in the loft angles of a 3-wood a 5-wood and a 3-iron hybrid it is easy to understand why many beginner golfers would rather invest in a 5-wood or replace the 3-iron hybrid with a 5-wood. And if you still hit the ball barely above the height of your first floor gutters shift to a 5 wood with 17-18 degrees of loft for your next-to-longest wood. For example in a typical set of 1 3 5 woods and 4 to wedge irons the length change from the 5 wood to the 4 iron is usually at least in the area of 3 or more.

Shaft Shaft Weight Weight WOOD 65 64 Driver 4400 4450 Strong 3 4250 4300 3 4225 4275. I have an upright swing. Is it possible to change the SureFit Hosels and how much shall I tip and trim the tip and butt on the shaft so the shaft will be in 3 wood length and still play to the X-Stiff flex.

My 9 wood is 41 length. The shaft on the 3-wood is often only ½ inch longer than the shaft of the 3-hybrid. 9 wood thru PW are all regular flex and my SM4s use wedge flex.

My 910F is A flex but because it is 1 shorter than stock the feel is not so whippy. 3 woods with stainless steel shafts are slightly shorter than those with graphite shafts for both men and women. Unlike irons that generally come standard with steel shafts the 3-wood and 3-hybrid both generally come standard with a graphite shaft to make it lighter.

My fingers are crosse for a helpful answer. Were clubs to have evolved so that the length increment change from the woods through the irons were always the same exact length change then you could fit the MOI of ALL the. The shaft of the 3-hybrid is normally slightly heavier than that of your driver and 3-wood.

If you do not have the natural ability to hit your 3 wood high in the air quit fooling yourself and hunt down a 3-wood with no less than 15-16 degrees of loft. It is probably best to take them to a professional builder and tell them what length and swing weight you want them built to. The choice between a 3-wood and a 5-wood comes down to your personality type and the confidence you have in your swing.
