For me, the key to hitting fairway woods is a wide arc. Wood shafts are long. If you give a player a long drive shaft, they have to swing almost slow in order to time the delivery with the body. Whenever I teach someone how to hit fairway woods, I say swing it like a driver. Give it time to come around. They also shouldn't hit down on it. When players do that they swing OTT. Instead, it should be a more level swing. Fairway woods have good MOI, so shallow swings with no divot are ideal.
I agree with the wide arc, that's why the bands drill is crucial to helping people keep success. I don't like to see people try to avoid taking a divot, I'd rather see people keep the mindset of going down through the ball. The ball position forward, the wider arc and the wider sole of the clubhead should minimize the amount of divot that appears. This is where the second key of getting some forward shift is key. I certainly don't want people to feel like they are driving the club down in the ground.
I have the Mevo+ plus with Face Impact and was working on impact location no the weekend. Do you adjust the width and height from the default? The numbers for mine were similar to a driver, not a 3-wood.
I measured my own clubs and put them in. it won't change the image you see but it will help with the actual measurements it gives for impact location. I don't do it for students because of time and it's already close enough.
@@scotthogangolf when I adjusted the dimensions for my club the picture of the club head totally changed to reflect the new dimensions. The picture on yours looked like a driver but you were hitting a 3wood which is why I asked. Just curious if you had done that
@@mntlblok slower swing speeds and less aggressive move through the ball, so hitting down on the ball and launching it lower is not going to work as well.
@@scotthogangolf So, sounds like the male pros have no choice? Saw a claim on another site that it was because - due to anatomy? - the girls can keep their elbows closer together. . . Fascinating stuff!

You mean for the club head measurements?
@@scotthogangolf yes

@@chrisbeal2136 I'll have to double check mine. I just updated the software so maybe it reset.
Whence comes this LPGA precision??
I don't have it, those ladies are really really good.
@@scotthogangolf But why the difference compared to male pros??
