Question about a Golf Club?
I currently have a King Cobra Baffler 3-hybrid with 20 degree loft that I hit around 180-190 yards. I was thinking about getting a 3 wood, but also keep the hybrid in the bag. Do you think that I would hit the ball any further with a 3 wood, and if so, which 3 wood would you reccommend?
Yes, you should hit the 3 wood further. 3 woods have a loft of around 15 degrees, with some as low as 13 degrees. If you’re hitting a 20 degree club 180-190 then you have some decent clubhead speed which will let you swing a 3 wood, although I would NOT go under 15 degrees. Lower lofted fairway clubs require more clubhead speed in order to get the ball to fly well.
With all of that said, 3 woods are harder to hit than higher lofted clubs, such as your hybrid club. The shaft is longer and it is tougher to make center face contact. If you’re a high handicap player you might not benefit from the club. Best to demo some three woods on a range or store simulator before making a choice. At the demo you can figure out what club works best. With your clubhead speed a regular flex shaft would be appropriate.
