We had another good question come in to us via twitter @foregolfcustom the other day
QUESTION: “I have a ball speed of about 160mph but my 3 wood goes furtherthan my Driver. Can you explain how this is possible” ?
No problem. You are struggling with spin and launch from your driver which is due to your swing style and I suspect the loft and maybe the shaft profile of your current driver is incorrect for you. If you had a normal ball flight then your 3 wood would have a high ball flight and then your driver with the added length of shaft and lower ball flight would go further.
The reason your 3 wood goesfurther than your driver is down to launch and more spin from the loft of the 3 wood head and the added aided flight from the shaft. Essentially the added spin and launch from your 3 wood specifications is making the ball fly better and stays in the air for longer and is going further than your drive.
The solution: a more lofted driver and softer tip shaft profile to increase spin and launch angle. We would really need to see you for a custom fitting analysis to be absolutely sure.
