3W has various meanings in the Golf category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of 3W in Golf.
A 3 Wood (3W) is a versatile fairway club used for long-distance shots, typically ranging between 210 to 240 yards for male golfers and 170 to 200 yards for female golfers. It serves as a great option for:
- Tee shots on shorter par-4s where control is preferred over a driver.
- Fairway approach shots when reaching the green on long holes.
- Shots from light rough due to its low-profile design and sweeping motion.
Modern 3 Woods feature adjustable loft technology, helping golfers fine-tune launch angles for better distance and accuracy. Players with strong ball-striking often favor a 3W off the deck for aggressive approaches, while others use it as a safe alternative to a driver off the tee
