btw Tom....."traditionally", a driver "stops" at about 11*, then a 2 wood (but since they don't sell, they must be called "strong 3") runs generally 12-13*, then a traditional 3 wood, blah, blah is at 15*. There ARE precise guidelines to them historically, but admittedly those lines have become blurred these past few years (since Tiger brought so many "newbies" into the game?)
There are others here far wiser and more experienced than I, some of whom I hope would agree with me, and provide you with reference and source material, if you wish to continue stirring the old pot.
**This is all pretty basic and no pots will boil over it. Now a good question to ask is, and here you can get the ire of the purists,: "Is a wood made of metal still a wood? "**

Just to keep the pot boiling. Is a 13 degree wood a driver or a fairway
wood? How about a 6 degree or whatever. When does a wood cease to be a
driver and become a fairway wood?

I would like to thank the gentleman that answered my question and for
his assistance. Since the question did not relate to the NAME or
TERMINOLOGY of what the club was called, I was able to complete my
project.
I also would like to apologize to the purest for the lesson in learning
to direct question properly. Hey, if you don't ask you never learn.
With that I will take my 22° DRIVER and go play a round of golf.
