In our forums, our members have been having an interesting discussion concerning the importance of 3-woods.
WRXer ‘Nvr3putt’ asks whether a 3-wood is necessary to have in the bag, questioning how much usage the club gets each round for fellow members, and WRXers have been sharing their thoughts on the matter in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- martinbns: “I hit mine at least 4 sometimes up to 6-7 times a round. After driver, putter and primary chipping club, it’s right there as my most used club.”
- Phabs: “Yep, I do need one. About 30-40 longer than my 2 iron. Use it 2-3 times per round off the tee on anything over 430 and a par 4. I try and leave as many full wedge swings as I can, 3 wood and 2 irons make that happen all day long on par 4’s.”
- mackepa: “I know a lot of players that absolutely hit a 5 wood farther and more consistent due to better launch conditions. Heck, some players will hit a 7 wood better.”
- Zubs724: “Nope. Added another wedge.”
- sivman17: “I may only use it 3-4 times in a round, but I find it to be important. I’m fairly accurate with my driver, so would only use it off the tee on very tight par 4s. Tend to use it mostly on second shot on par 5s. Helped me make an eagle on a par 5 this past weekend, so definitely won’t be taking it out anytime soon.”
