For most golfers, the second longest hitting wood in their bag is a 3-wood. However for many golfers their 5-wood or maybe even their 7-wood is really their second longest hitting wood. For many golfers the loft on their 3-wood is too low for them to really get the ball up high enough in the air to be able to be their second longest hitting wood. What determines whether a golfer can hit lower lofted woods high in the air? The higher the golfer's swing speed and/or the more upward the golfer's angle of attack, the lower the loft the golfer can easily get well up in the air to fly.
