What is former name for no 3 wood?
If you are referring to the "original" name for today's 5 wood, then that would be a baffy. "Back in the day," the "complete" golfer (many, if not most, utilized less than 14 clubs) would carry in his kit a driver, a brassie (equal to a 2 wood-almost extinct, now-or a strong 3 wood) a spoon (3 wood), sometimes, a lofted spoon (equivilent to today's 4 wood), a baffy and, of course, various and sundry irons. It's quite difficult to make this the "official" answer, as the various lofts could vary several degrees, depending on the preferences of any particular golfer. A driver, for example, could have a loft as high as 14 degrees. A 3 wood (spoon) could range anywhere from 15 to 18 degrees. However, if your 5 wood is 18-19 degrees, it's safe to refer to it affectionately as a baffy. There was one more wood sometimes utilized, a wooden cleek (not to be confused with a standard cleek, which was a very thick headed iron), which averaged around 20-21 degrees. Believe me, I'm no "golf scholar," but I hope that my passion for the game helps to compensate. By the way, if you have a passion for the game, try reading two of my favorite books: "The Gist of Golf," by Harry Vardon and "How I Play Golf" by Bobby Jones. The first may not give you much in the way of timely, technical advice, but it is such a beautiful read. The second, on the other hand, will be just as valuable to you as some of the greatest contemporary instruction books. Mr. Jones did not waste a lot of time with non-essential info. Plus, the book is a pure delight.

A 3 iron has a long shaft, of around 38-39 inches. It has a very compact head and a relatively loft of around 21 degrees. It is known as a long iron, a player will hit this iron around 200+ yards.
How do you measure the proper shaft length for me?
stand up straight, grab a 5 iron by its head and hold it upside down as if it were a walking cane. If the end of the club touches doesn't touch the floor then it is too short. On the otherhand, if if your elbow is bent and the club is touching the floor then it is too long for you.
How do you get more height from your driver off the tee?
There are a few things you can do, tee the ball up, the ball should ideally be half a ball above the top line. With your normal swing speed imagine you are sweeping the ball off the tee. Also, (For right handed players, lefthanded players obviously vice versa) drop your right shoulder, this will raise your left shoulder, this gives you the ideal set up for the driver, it will also give you more distance.
You may also consider your driver, if you are hitting the ball too low, you should consider a more flexible shaft, and more loft on your driver. As you have more loft, you will create more spin, therefore the ball goes higher, and not as far. However, many players are willing to sacrifice distance for accuracy.
