Which Loft is Which Fairway Wood? #golf
on those on any of those models you can adjust that loft up or down You can rotate the lie angle open or closed So when you start to go like a ping where it has four-wood and it says 17 there’s other companies that are making four-woods out there And and there again too the four-wood could be 19° it could be 18° it could be 17 degrees So what do you what is a fivewood anymore What is a 3-wood anymore What’s a two-wood Um we talk about the mini drivers Well aren’t they really just a two-wood They’re not a they’re not necessarily a driver They’re just a lofted kind of a bigger lofted fairway wood Yeah Um the other part of that too is like what Cali had did a long long time ago is with a heavenwood So they have something that’s longer So it’s usually the length of like a 3-wood It’s bigger than a sevenwood It’s got the size of like a fivewood and then it’s got the loft of a sevenwood So at 20° you basically have what is um a 3-wood at 20° So where do we put

He is arguing for a point that noone disagrees. Pick what fits in your bag.
if my grandma had wheels, she would've been a bike.
my point is that you dont have to have a 3 wood in the bag. it also doesnt matter if it's called a whackadoodle, a 4 wood, 2 iron, 3 wood, driving iron, driving hybrid, 2 hybrid if it goes 270 in play. Play what works for YOU.
