Hit the driver, not the 3-wood

Sometimes the right choice is the bigger one.

Fairway woods have indeed come a long way. Fairway is both bigger and longer than your driver was 20 to 30 years ago. And yet, despite the advances in fairway woods, drivers have exploded in size, making them not only bigger, but also enormously longer and more forgiving.

So, why not use one as often as you can? If you’re faced with a choice between driver and fairway wood on a tight hole, consider the bigger, more forgiving alternative. You could do more with it, such as choking down on the grip, teeing the ball lower or even making a three-quarter swing to mimic a fairway wood but still take advantage of the bigger, more forgiving head. Speaking of which, as you can see, use a 460cc driver so you can maximize your distance and get as much forgiveness across the clubface as possible.
