When should I use 3 wood or 3 hybrid?
It is better to use a 3-wood when the grass is cut or mown and the ground is hard which helps the ball to roll. The 3-hybrid is used majorly for off the fairway or out of the rough (where the ground is damp or soft.) This makes the 3-wood more suitable for pro-golfers and the 3-hybrid for amateurs.

Verdict. There is a stark difference between the design and aim of a 3-wood and a 3-hybrid. The 3-wood is a fairway wood that keeps the ball lower than a hybrid and travels further. You are likely to have both a 3-wood and a 3-iron or 3-hybrid in your bag but not a 3-iron and a 3-hybrid.

Ball on a Severe Slope When your ball stops on a fairway slope the difficulty of hitting a 3 wood goes way up. Making such a big swing with a long club on sloped ground is a challenge even for the pros. It’s particularly hard to hit your 3 wood if the ball is well above or below your feet.
Why am I hitting my 3 wood farther than my driver?
