In this article I will briefly discuss the types of the Callaway 3 Wood range. At present Callaway currently make four different types of 3-wood, these are the Big Bertha Diablo, the X-Hot, the FT and the FT-i squareway. Depending on the type of golfer that you are will depend which club is right for you, as they all provide different effects in relation to swing styles.
The Big Bertha Diablo range has a strategically shaped clubhead and this assists in providing a longer and more accurate shot.
If twisting action is problematic within your swing then then FT-i Squareway may be a better choice of club for you asFT-i Squareway has a squareway inertial design placing the weight of the club head in the most extreme corners of the club. The result of this is that the club is loss prone to twisting throughout the swing action.
The X-Hot series has a patented x-sole design on which the club head rests on two distinguishable areas of the sole. The effect of this design is that there is no rocking back and forth of the club and as such this ensures that shots start on line.
The FT model of the Calaway 3 wood combines a variety of material blended together which give the engineers at Callaway the ability to fine tune the club to provide optimum weighting in key parts of the club head. This means that the flight trajectory of the shot is at it’s best and allows for increased shot shaping.
The angle of the club face on a three wood is usually between 13 and 15 degrees, this is known as the loft of the wood. From a three wood you should be aiming to get the ball to travel around the 250 yard mark. When a driver is not an appropriate club for the tee off a 3 wood can be used. It is also handy for shots where the ball is just off the fairway or when the ball has a good lie in the rough.
A lot of technical thought goes into the designing of clubs as illustrated by the four models discussed above. The best way to find out which club is right for you is to actually go out and use it. Everybody has a different style of swing and as such a club that is good for one person might not be the best for another.
The club heads of 3 woods are usually made from an alloy of titanium or steel. The advantage of steel is it’s cheaper cost however a titanium club head will provide more power due to it’s lighter weight.
Loft is a key part of a wood, the higher the number on the wood the more loft that it generates. The more loft a club has the higher the ball will travel, and as such the shorter the distance from you it will cover.
The 1-wood is longest club a golfer can use, there are 2-woods manufactured but it is rare to find a golfer who uses one therefore the 3-wood is usually the second biggest club in a golf bag. The advantage of using woods instead of drivers is that they have smaller heads and are easy for beginners to start out with when striking a ball off the tee.
