I had another thought on this.

Many people say they prefer their 3 wood to their driver as they play more consistently with it even though it has a small head and a fairly long shaft. As the driver tends to have a much bigger head one would think it would be easier to use and more forgiving, other than the shaft is a little longer.

This leads me on to thinking that the reason the 3 wood is preferred is the additional loft creates more spin and height so the effects of side spin are not as severe, also the shorter shaft is easier to control.

Does this mean that most golfers are playing with drivers that have too little loft and too long a shaft. If they had drivers with shorter shafts and more loft they might like them and would also benefit from the larger head size with it's off center hit forgiveness.
