How many degrees is a standard 5 wood?

19 degrees
For example, standard 5-woods are about 19 degrees. Comparing that to an 18-degree hybrid would be a fair test. While the 5-wood has one more degree of loft, it should also be slightly longer, making the distance potential of the two clubs about the same.

What is the best loft for a 5 wood?

For the most part, a 5-wood has a loft range somewhere in between 18 and 21 degrees of loft. If you carry a 5-wood, it shouldn’t be more than 3-4 higher than your 3-wood. For example, if your 3-wood has 16 degrees of loft, your 5-wood should be 19 or 20 degrees.

Is a 5 wood good?

The 5 wood is a great option for approaches to the green from the fairway or even from the semi-rough. If you need more height to approach a tough green then the 5 wood will help you out there too. It creates a softer landing with more spin which will help you stick the ball on the dance floor.

Why do I hit my 5 wood farther than my 3 wood?

The majority of average golfers hit their 5 wood farther than their 3 wood because the shaft is shorter and there’s more loft. The higher loft will help get the ball in the air and the shorter shaft will improve consistency. The main reason is because the ball was on a tee, which made it a lot easier to hit.

Does a 5 wood replace a 3 iron?

Many golfers prefer hitting a high-lofted wood into a green than a hard-to-hit long iron. The larger clubhead of a fairway wood compared to an iron makes it easier to achieve more distance without over-swinging. As a general rule of thumb, a 5-wood would replace a 2-iron a 7-wood the 3- or 4-iron, a 9-wood the 5-iron.
