Question

HOw far can you consistently hit your 3 WOOD?

Answer 1

I dont use a 3 wood, I got rid of it and the 5 wood for an extra wedge.  I replaced those two with a 17 degree Titleist 980 (4 wood.)  I a\can hit this thing as far as I could hit my old 3 wood, but with a higher trajectory and more accuracy.  275 is about as far as I can take it with the 17 degree, but 250-260 is the perfect yardage for it.

Answer 2

250.  The 3 wood, I think is the hardest club to get consistent yardage with.  I'll explain.  When I hit it slightly in the toe, the ball will flatline and go forever.  When I hit it slightly in the h**l, it upshoots and seems to go nowhere.  So I hit the club anywhere from 235-265.  It is my least favorite club....by far!

Answer 3

Im hitting my 3 wood a good 220 yards.

Answer 4

230-255

Answer 5

I probably average between 225-235 off the tee.  I have hit it as far as 270.  I hit it more consistently than my driver in the fairway.  Sometimes I hit it farther too.

Answer 6

Boy we seem to have a lot of really big hitters in the Yahoo Answer forum.  I usually hit mine 220 to 230, but I'm old.  Like I always say "It's not how far you can hit it, it's about how many times you hit it."

Answer 7

210-220 on a good day! :)

Answer 8

Off the ground i hit it anywhere from 240-260 depending what shot i'm playing and the run i get out of it. Off the tee, i'm the same. I hit the ball pretty pure every time.

I love my 3 wood. The new Nickent 4DX with the Proforce V2 in stiff and the nickent tour velvet grip.

Answer 9

From good lies in the fairway, woods are pretty easy to hit, IMO. Problem is people try to get too much out of them, swinging too hard.  I have gotten close to greens from 260, but that’s not typical, a good high 3-wood is about 230, low draw maybe 245. My swing speed with driver is about 105 mph.

Answer 10

This really depends on what three wood you have and how good you are.

I hit it about 280 consistent off the tee and about 260 off the deck.

Answer 11

Off the tee if I nail it, between 250 and 270. On the ground, probably about 240.

Answer 12

I couldn't (except off the tee), so I use a 4-wood now. The only way I could hit a 3 wood consistently was off a tee. Too frustrating, so i switched, and am real happy. I hit the 4-wood about 230-240.

Answer 13

I HARDLY EVER use my 3-wood. I usually end up hitting the driver. I don't think I used my 3-wood more than 10 times last year, if that. I use it so little to the point where I have no idea how far I'd hit it.

Answer 14

230 to 250

Answer 15

I like the "consitantly"  part.... for me,230 yards.
