An 11 wood is a highly lofted fairway wood. They are extremely rare, but you would find one with about 27 degrees of loft. It could be used to replace a five iron, but most people would prefer a hybrid.
According to several places a club with a 19 degree loft could be anything from a 4 wood to a 3 iron. So basically it might be a 4 or 5 wood as well as a 3 iron especially if its a 3 iron hybrid.

They were made of wood
The reason a one iron is so hard to hit is because it has such little loft on it, which makes it hard to get the ball airbourne and also have any control over it. Even though a 3 wood would have less loft, they are designed with the centre of gravity in the best place to get the bair in the air and also give you moderate control.
Depending on manufacturer this club could have the loft of a 4 iron or a 3 iron. It is a club which has the loft of an iron but the design of a wood, it helps get the ball in the air easier. You can use it for tee shots on par 3s or to get into position on a par 4. You can also use it for approach shots on par 4s and par 5. Some people even use it for bump and run shots.
