Choosing between the 3-wood and 5-wood comes down to personal choice. As a general rule of thumb, a 3-wood with 16° of loft will travel farther than a 5-wood with 19° of loft. Because of the higher loft, the 5-wood is easier to strike confidently and the ball will get airborne faster. With Adams Tight Lies, both the 3- and 5-woods offer great performance. With the Velocity Slot, Tri Sole design and Extended Face Technology, you will be confident hitting either.
