  • 3 woods or fairway woods are often the most difficult clubs to use as they are the longest clubs that we play from the ground.
    In this short video Chris covers the delivery needed to be successful with this club, along with some swing principles that will get you hitting the 3 wood more consistently than ever before.

    Something i found out works for me is to instead of looking at the ball, look to the grass right in front of it, that really helped me

    After 25 years of golfing without fairway woods, I have just been fitted for a new full set. Sim TM. I've had the clubs for 4 weeks so I have only played 10 rounds but this video has transformed my game from 185 yards upwards. I am hoping I can now get below 18 consistently. At 67, I should still have a few good years to maintain some distance. I will let you know. Now to try your drill on drawing irons!!!....

  • @joej2435
    @joej2435 4 года назад +7

    All I had to do was watch this man's golf swing and he immediately he got my attention. His concept of hitting a fairway wood (or any club for that matter) off the turf is spot on. For years I was a sweeper.Tried to help the ball get airborne with a little flip of the hands. Was a little anal about taking divots with the long clubs off the fairway - "WRONG". Hit down and create backspin, that is how the ball gets in the air.

  • @nomullies
    @nomullies 4 года назад

    The explanation at the beginning made a lot of sense. More detail than most videos. Well done. I'll try to stop sweeping so much and hit the middle of the clubface. Lots of practice since ditching the driver.

  • @robertbaldwin177
    @robertbaldwin177 2 года назад +2

    This is a great video Chris, good job! A little tip for those who struggle to end their shots with their belt buckle and chest at target is to push the chest down towards the ball on downswing as this ensures rotation of hips, improves strike and removes slice. The old saying 'keep your head down' is actually 'keep your chest down' and is part of the reason why Chris' technique is so amazing to watch.

  • @stevespenscom
    @stevespenscom 4 года назад +2

    Thanks for the video Chris. We have been told for so long to hit your woods like your driver and I tend to top mine. This technique could help me quite a bit I think. I was positioning the ball at my lead heel just like my driver. I'm going to try this next weekend when I go out. Thanks again.

    As always I appreciate your detailed explanation. I’ve struggled as a “sweeper” who leans back, trying to help the ball into the air on the fairways. Your explanation of the 3W’s club-head design and the various changes to the lofting has helped me to better understand what’s going on, and I’m sure this will enable me to mentally visualize and correct the reasons that I’m topping the ball on the fairways. At best I’ve been drilling low rug-burners, and at worst the ball tends to just flips a few yards. Been trying to correct this key weakness in my longer fairway drives using the 3-wood. Hoping this will help reduce my strokes on the fairways and shorten my approach shots. It’s been a struggle for a couple years now, and I can’t wait to apply this advice to try to figure this shot out and get closer to par or at least a consistent bogey golf game. Thanks again!

    • @paulpignataro2292
      @paulpignataro2292 10 месяцев назад

      I've not been playing quite as long as you but suffer terribly from the same problems you've mentioned. I just got a new 3 wood this week hoping it would help, and it has when I do all the things Chris just mentioned. I would add that, for me at least, it's essential to keep my leading arm straight on the way up but especially on the way down and finishing the shot makes all the difference. I'm looking forward to checking out Chris's stance. Today, although I hit some cracker shots at the driving range, I, like you was topping way too many. I hope this wonderful advice will help us both top fewer balls and bring us a little more consistency through a better understanding

    Excellent job Chris on explaining "bulge" on FW club face! Also, learned what causes low shots with the fairway woods. Ball position is definitely important and something that I am aware of when hitting these clubs. I think my main problem is moving through the ball properly. Good Job!
