Various Designs Of Callaway 3 Wood Available
Every golfer has a different swing as as such the Callaway 3 wood range has four different types of clubs in this club bracket. The most well known of these is probably the Big Bertha Diablo, there are also the X-Hot, the FT and the FT-i Squareway. Below I will describe the main benefits of each club and it's defining feature, I will also talk briefly about when to use a wood and some common features of them.
The Big Bertha Diablo is as mentioned one of the most well known clubs the club head has been shaped to provide a longer shot length whilst still having excellent shot accuracy.
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 is designed to increase accuracy in hitting the ball the sole is split into two sections hich creates a smoother movement within the stroke. This design is exclusive to the Callaway X-Hot series.
For increased flight trajectory and shot shaping the club of choice should be the Callaway FT 3 wood. This model combines a mixture of elements to enable the Callaway engineers to weight the club to enhance its centre of gravity giving a more flowing feeling within the club.
The loft of a three wood is generally around 13 to 15 degrees, this means the face of the club is at an angle between these values away from the vertical plane. A amateur golfer should find they are able to use a 3 wood to get a ball to a distance of around 250 yards away from them. The three wood should be used when a driver is not appropriate, when the ball lies just off the fairway or has a good lie within the rough.
As the amount of investment within Golf has increased so has the research that goes into the production of the clubs themselves. As such the market has been inundated with a variety of clubs to suit different kinds of swings, the best way to determine which is right for you is to go to a driving range with them and try them out. Most driving ranges allow for different clubs to be sampled so you won't have to buy them first.
There are two main types of metal used for 3 wood clubs these being a titanium alloy or steel. Titanium provides greater power within the shot to due its lighter weight however it is more expensive than steel.
The same metal compounds are used for fairway wood club heads as well. These woods increase in loft the higher the number of wood. This means that a 5 wood has more loft than a four wood and a four wood has more than a three wood. The more loft a wood has the higher the ball will travel in the air which means it will travel a shorter distance down the fairway.
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.
