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 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.
With the FT-i Squareway an inertial design has been implemented which allows for better action during your swing such as less twisting. The weight has been placed at the corners of the club head this means that you will always hit the ball with the full club face.
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.
A 3-wood generally has a loft of between 13 and 15 degrees. This is angle at which the club face slopes. The average golfer should be able to hit a golf ball with a three wood around 250 yards. Typically a 3 wood should be used when a driver is not appropriate off the tee, off the fairway and when in the rough but only when the ball has a good lie.
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.
As I said before many metals are used to create clubs however steel and titanium alloy are the most common. Steel clubs are a lot cheaper than titanium clubs so would be better for the beginner however the titanium clubs produce much more power within the shot due to their lighter weight.
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 3-wood is usually the second longest club that a golfer uses second to the 1-wood, 2-wood club are available however they are rarely used. As the heads of woods are smaller than the heads of that of drivers they are easier to control whilst in swing. It is for this reason beginners are pushed towards starting teeing off with a wood rather than a driver in order to learn how to use the larger clubs. You just can't go wrong when you choose a Callaway 3 wood.
Use one of the best clubs out there by getting the Callaway 3 wood in your bag. Look online to find great costs, even on a nice canvas field bag to use. Go online now and find out more.
