This is very well the reason why your 3W (probably 15º) goes as far as your 10º driver. If your swing speed is in the low 90's, that's when you'll witness the phenomenon you're describing.
Of course, the place where they can measure your swing speed is very likely also a place where they'd love to sell you a nice expensive driver, so they're not likely to say, "93 mph... Don't bother getting a driver."
