What does TaylorMade 3 wood HL mean?
What Is A 3hl Wood. A 3HL wood is a club that sits between the 3 Wood and the 5 Wood in terms of loft and shaft length. The ‘HL’ stands for ‘High Launch’. It has a little bit more loft than a traditional 3 wood but still holds the same shaft length, usually.
What’s the difference between a 3 wood and 5 wood?
Fairway woods have a higher loft than drivers. A 3 wood has a loft between 15 and 18 degrees, and a 5 wood has a loft between 20 and 22 degrees. The higher the golf club number, the higher the loft. Higher lofted woods (7, 9, 11, and so on) are commonly referred to as utility woods.
What degree is a 3 wood?
15 degrees
In most cases, the average 3-wood has roughly 15 degrees of loft, a number that positions it nicely between the driver and 5-wood from a yardage gap perspective.

The pocket itself is filled with a polymer to prevent buildup of debris.
