The woods in a typical golfer's bag will include a driver and one or two
fairway woods, most commonly a 3-wood and/or 5-wood. Women and seniors might
benefit from adding a 7-wood or 9-wood. The 4-wood is another common wood,
and some golfers even carry an 11-wood.
Woods feature deep (from front to back) clubheads that are made of metal,
usually steel or a titanium alloy. They are called "woods" because the
clubheads used to be made of wood. Metals came into broad use in the 1980s,
and "fairway woods" are now sometimes called "fairway metals."
For beginners, the driver (also called a 1-wood) will be one of the toughest
clubs to master. It is the longest club in the bag - a typical length these
days is 45 inches - which makes it the toughest to control in the swing.
Driver clubheads are usually made of titanium alloys or steel. Steel costs
less, but titanium adds some "oomph" because it is a lighter material.
The same materials are used in the clubheads of fairway woods. Fairway
woods, like irons, are progressive in nature; that is, a 3-wood has less
loft than a 4-wood, which has less loft than a 5-wood, and so on. Because of
that, a 3-wood will go farther than a 4-wood, which will go farther than a
5-wood, and so on.
A 3-wood is usually the second-longest club in a golfer's bag (there are
2-woods available, but they aren't very common). Fairway woods have smaller
heads than drivers and get progressively shorter than drivers. That makes
them easier to control in the swing than a driver, and for that reason
beginners are often encouraged to use a fairway wood off the tee rather than
trying to whack a driver right out of the gate.
Drivers can be hit from the fairway, but that's a shot most amateurs - much
less beginners - will never pull off successfully. Fairway woods are good
clubs off the tee or from the fairway; their smaller heads and greater lofts
help get the ball up into the air.
Beginners might want to consider carrying some extra fairway woods (5-wood,
7-wood and 9-wood, for example) in place of the long irons (2-, 3-, 4- and
even 5-irons). As a general rule, fairway woods are easier to hit than long
irons for most beginners and recreational golfers.
Drivers and fairway woods are intended to strike the ball either on the
upswing (in the case of the driver) or at the bottom of the swing (in the
case of fairway woods). For that reason, the ball is placed forward in the
stance when using a wood (see "Setup for Success" for photos demonstrating
the proper ball position).
Distances with each club will vary from player to player; there is no
"right" distance, there is only your distance, and you'll learn those
distances as you start playing. Typically, a driver will go 20 yards or so
farther than a 3-wood, which will go about 20 yards farther than a 5-wood. A
5-wood is roughly equivalent to a 2-iron in distance; a 7-wood to a 4-iron.
Beginners often overestimate how far they are "supposed" to hit each club
because they watch the professionals blasting 300-yard drives. No matter
what the commercial says, you are not Tiger Woods! Pro players are in a
different universe; do not compare yourself to them. A "Golf Digest" study
found that the average driver distance for recreational male golfers is
"only" 195-200 yards.

Basics of Golf Equipment - General Info about Golf Clubs
As mentioned earlier, a "set" of golf clubs is restricted to no more than 14
clubs. What constitutes this "set" depends on your preferences.
In general, a "set" will include the following clubs:
* Driver (1 Wood) (More on Drivers)
* Woods: 1, 3, 5 (More on Woods)
* Irons: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (More on Irons)
* Pitching Wedge (More on Wedges)
* and a putter (More on Putters).
A good basic descriptions of the above clubs is provided by HERE.
In addition, Hybrid Clubs are gaining a major following. They combine both a
wood and iron design and are some of the most forgiving and easiest clubs to
hit to date.
Some information on what kind of golf ball may be best for you is in our
Golf Ball section.
Once you get better in your game you should consider custom fitted clubs,
