Best Answer

Put the ball forward in your stance, and take your normal swing. Some people do however like the imagine a long low take away. With a fairway wood you do not need to necessarily hit the ball into the ground like you would with an iron, but you can do so.

Depends how far you can hit it!

The purpose of a fairway wood is primarily to hit from the fairway on longer holes to reach the green, mainly used on par 5's.

Most players also use them on tee shots, if driver would be too much, or there is a lot of trouble, this is because a fairway wood shafts are shorter and the clubs have more loft.

A player like Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy would hit a 3 wood around 300 yards, but the average amateur could get 220-250 from it.

When do you use a three wood in golf?

A 3 wood can be used from the fairway or from the tee. It depends how far you hit the ball on when you would use it. You could use it from the tee because it doesn't go as far as the driver, and it is easier to control. You could use it from the fairway on long par 4's or par 5's. Some people use it to chip with, but you should perfect this shot before you try it.

Are there charts for lofts and distances of fairway woods?

No, to be honest there isn't because you will hit a fairway club further or shorter than standard, so any chart would be of no use to you. Unfortunately in regards to lofts of clubs all companies have different degrees of loft but there are a few rough guides. * 3 wood 13.5- as much as 17 degrees * 5 wood 18-20 degrees * 7 wood 21 degrees If you have a specific club I could probably tell you the loft.
