    I love hitting 3 wood off the tee. It's so much easier to control, and I don't lose much distance compared to my driver. I can outdrive most of my buddies going against their drivers. It really iritates them. 😁 Great information as always!

    I love my 3 wood. It’s my go to off the tee club. Yes event more so than driver. Not for distance even though I routinely get it out to 230-240. It’s accuracy and consistency that I love.

    This helped a lot. Over the summer I got into golf after not playing for about 6 years. My first couple of rounds I played this summer couldn’t hit my driver straight to save my life and it was really pissing me off. I learned how to properly tee off with the 3 wood and it is way better. We have this 9 hole course par is I think 38. I would shoot like a 10 over by teeing off with my driver and with the 3 wood best I was able to do was a 4 over which for me isn’t bad.

    In the 80's i got a video of my swing and was amazed at how early i was getting the straight line release. About half way down from the top. left arm parallel with the ground. Interestingly, at a pga tour stop Johnny Miller was giving a swing tutorial and I asked him where was the proper time to release the club. He told me you can not release too early. You should be releasing right from the top. It didn't make sense to me especially when I was clearly releasing way, way before a tour player was releasing. I've heard other people say that too and I just don't get what they are talking about. Clay makes sense to me.

    I swing with a 3 wood off the tee the exact same as my driver, but it goes further and straighter. I’ve also started hitting irons like that too. 7 iron like a driver for me goes around 160 instead of 150. It’s pretty fun.

This was exactly what I needed 👌👍⛳

    As a natural right hander that plays lefty..Ive been working hard on my left arm to throw the club rather than pulling with my dominate right. I now have a neutral grip and hitting straight...prior I needed a strong grip to stop fade/slice.
    I have also played a few rounds using only the 3W instead of driver for both tee and fairway...works a treat but can be a bit too high against the wind..

      I have the same problem in reverse. I struggle off the tee with driver immensely with fade/slice. Using 3w has helped me too. Im a natural lefty that golfs righty. What did you to fix the issues with your dominant hand pulling through on the downswing? I reshafted my 3w to x-stiff, that seems to have helped me a lot. Thinking of doing same with driver. Any tips are appreciated.

  • @carlor.s.4742

    Never seen this covered before on YT & it caught my interest because I don't feel comfortable hitting a three wood off a tee. First thing that caught my attention was tee height. I tee it higher & that often results in a ball that goes way up but not as far as I want it to go. Seems more similar to hitting a three wood as a fairway wood than hitting it like a driver where i do tee the ball above the crown.

      The ball position should be in somewhere in the neighborhood of the middle of the stance on full swings. You would only move the ball position up to the shoulder area to catch it on the upswing with your driver.

    Great video and content, is the straight arm release slightly left of your target line or does it depend which shape you are hitting?

    • @TopSpeedGolf
      @TopSpeedGolf  3 года назад

      The Straight-Line Release is when the club shaft splits the forearms and will be slightly left of your target if it's happening around 45 degrees past impact. Best of luck! Nate | TSG Instructor

  • @fraterdeusestveritas2022
    @fraterdeusestveritas2022 2 года назад

    Ive seen tutorial videos for 3 wood off the tee, suggesting to tee the ball up so just over half the face is above the crown, and have the ball aligned to the heel of the front foot, so we one can hit it on the up. Youre saying the complete opposite.

    • @TopSpeedGolf
      @TopSpeedGolf  2 года назад

      Both ways work. Teeing it up like you describe gives you a higher launch and more distance, akin to a driver swing. Play well! Nate | TSG Instructor

  • @danielchamier1752
    @danielchamier1752 3 года назад +2

    Love your coaching but I can’t agree with you on this one. Most amateurs would find it easier to hit consistently, and get distance, from a teed up 3 Wood (eg half a ball above the club) not striking down on the ball. Fairway woods are one of the most inconsistent clubs for amateurs off the deck and I just can’t see the point of taking the advantage of a tee away.
