For the majority of senior golfers, the 3-wood has always been a tricky club. It looks great in the bag, but in reality? It can be hard to use, and worst of all, unreliable.
With a traditional fairway wood you might be struggling with thin shots, low ball flights, and lost distance. But how about a 9-wood designed just for senior golfers, helping you decide which club to use anywhere from 135 to 165 yards out?
That’s why the 359 Fairway Wood Hybrid was created. It’s specifically designed for seniors who want cleaner contact, higher launch, and more distance—all without making swing or setup changes.
Instead of fighting with a club that demands perfect speed and mechanics, the 359 Fairway Hybrid gives you forgiveness, confidence, and results instantly. This isn’t just another fairway wood or hybrid—it’s a smarter solution that makes golf more fun and more playable for senior golfers.
Why the 359 Fairway Hybrid Stands Out for Seniors
If you’re like a lot of senior golfers, you’ll do whatever it takes to maintain or even increase your distance. It might mean specific golf exercises for seniors or chasing the latest distance swing tip.
While those ideas can help, don’t forget about equipment as it can sometimes do the heavy lifting for you, like the 359. Here are three reasons this club can change your approach shots.
1. Clean, Effortless Contact
One of the hardest parts about using a traditional 3-wood is getting the ball airborne from the fairway. The long shaft (compared to other fairways and woods) and smaller head lead to a small margin for error, even for skilled golfers. Ultimately, it’s very unforgiving—especially as swing speed tends to naturally decrease with age.
The 359 golf club changes that by blending the ease of a hybrid with the power of a fairway wood. Its head design helps the club glide through the turf and make solid contact, even if your swing isn’t perfect or as fast as it once was. That means fewer thin shots, more confidence standing over the ball, and better results from a variety of lies.
Its proprietary “Progressed Face” (AKA The Bulldozer) clears away thick rough that can get between the club and the ball. Plus, since the face is bigger, the sweet spot is bigger too.
2. Higher Launch for Better Carry
As golfers get older, lower ball speeds and reduced launch make it harder to maximize distance. Shots that used to carry high and far might have a lower trajectory and a loss of distance.
But that is where the 359 shines. The club is engineered with a 9-wood loft to naturally promote a higher ball flight, even if your swing speed isn’t what it used to be.
A higher launch means two key benefits:
- More carry distance, so you’re not stuck laying up when you could be reaching the green.
- Softer landings, so the ball holds the green instead of rolling through it and leaving a tough chip.
For senior golfers, this isn’t just about adding yards—it’s about adding playability. The higher launch opens up more scoring opportunities and helps you hit shots you may have thought were out of reach.
3. More Distance Without Swing Changes
Every golfer wants more distance, but swinging harder isn’t the answer—especially for seniors. With a traditional 3-wood, even a solid strike often comes out too low and doesn’t carry far enough. The 359 solves that problem with a design that generates extra distance without extra effort.
By combining a higher launch angle with optimized forgiveness, the 359 gives you distance that rivals (and often beats) a 3-wood. For many senior players, it becomes the go-to club for long approach shots.
Imagine stepping into those once challenging shots with confidence, not fear. How could that help your scoring every round you tee it up?
And the best part?
You don’t need to change your swing. Just swing smoothly and let the technology work for you.
How the 359 Fits Into Your Bag
One of the biggest challenges for senior golfers is figuring out which clubs to keep and which to replace in the golf bag. The 359 Fairway Hybrid was designed to simplify those choices.
- Three Clubs in One: For many golfers, the 359 is the perfect replacement for a hard-to-hit fairway woods or long irons (3–5). Instead of carrying multiple clubs you rarely use, the 359 gives you one reliable option you can trust from any lie.
- Versatility You Can Rely On: The 359 can be used for all types of shots and different holes. You can use it confidently off the tee, from the fairway, or even in light rough. Its hybrid shape glides through different lies, giving you consistency in situations where other clubs let you down.
- Simplifies Your Set: Golf is hard enough without a cluttered bag. The 359 makes your decisions easier by filling multiple roles—helping you gain confidence and play smarter golf without needing to force a long iron, traditional hybrid, or muscle a 3-wood.
- Works With the 357: The 359 also pairs nicely with the 357, another Performance Golf club that has 21 degrees of loft in a similar and forgiving design.
For seniors, this kind of versatility is a game-changer. It’s a club you’ll often use, and every time you pull it from the bag, you’ll know you have the right tool for the job.
