Alright Golf Clubs, all you club fitters and those aspiring out there Golf Sale, here's one that perplexes me no end. Hopefully someone can provide an answer.I have a three (metal) wood with a loft of 14° and a two iron with a (steeper) loft of 18°.Why is it that my two iron shots never achieve anywhere near the elevation that my three woods do?I'm sure the explanation exists but Golf Clubs Today, at present, it is not obvious to me. May be I should have paid more attention in physics classes.By way of offering more information, I can also say that, though I don't think it is relative (maybe it is) the three wood, at 43.5 inches long is 4 inches (100 mm) longer than the two iron. This longer shaft length will clearly translate, at the same swing speed, to a faster club head speed at impact than that of the iron. This probably accounts for the longer carry achieved with the wood.In anticipation, thanks..
