Many golfers would have the 3 wood as the hardest club in the bag to use as it’s very often the longest and lowest lofted club that we have to hit from the fairway.
If you are struggling with this club like many other make 1 change and start crushing your 3 wood, and the best part, its a simple change too
In this video I share some trackman numbers and some easy to follow concepts that can be a game changer when hitting fairway woods

Just purchased the Sim2 max D 3 wood and this video is a good learning tool for me. I have never it a 3 wood so will be using this video for practice.
It makes sense ,thanks for the video. Now I know how to hit it from the tee box.
Also showing how to hit a moving target. 🚜
Love this!
Concur with the approach.. always treat my 3wood with same thoughts
Thank you for a great tutorial!!! Now I know why I could not hit my 3 wood, my weight was too much on my right side!!! and I teed my ball to high too! My poor 3 wood was standing in the corner for a long time! I am going to make him my best friend again!! Thank you for the tips!! 🥰⛳️🏌️♀️
great advice CHris love your work …
3 off the deck kept me loving the game. Old softball player. Grip it and rip it. Just don't lean. Keep more weight on the front foot and if that don't work, hit the five. Happy trails!
Just want to say that I really enjoy the instruction. It is some of the best I have seen but as a golf course superintendent it really bothers me that in several of your videos you are hitting shots when there is grounds crew members mowing in front of you. I think this is a bad example to be setting for people. I have been hit by golf balls and so have my crew so please be careful and just remember that we are trying to stay out of your way while doing our job, and make the course the best we can for you. Please keep the amazing instruction coming. Please respect the grounds crew. Thanks for all you do for the game of golf.
Chris great video but I have one dumb question. If you are trying to hit down on the ball why can't you just move the ball back in the stance. Same goes for irons. I'm intrigued to know why this doesn't work.
I've got to say, this is my best golf club, I tend to slice on my drives, but its a straight hit for me with the 3 wood.
7:00 almost takes out the guy on the lawn mower
Great video. Good pace of explanation (i.e. not to fast not too slow) thank you for dumming it down with simple que and external feels👍
I’m a 70 year old 5 handicap and I’m impressed with how often i learn new things from your videos. Always wondered why my teed 3 woods didn’t get the carry that i got on the fairway….now I know…55 years late but…now I know. Thank you. How about teed irons I’m guessing the same thing would translate there?
Very good Chris!!!
I just discovered your channel today and after watching this video I immediately "liked and subscribed" for several reasons. First of all you are a very good teacher. I think you would make a good teacher of any topic you know well, not just golf. Secondly, I appreciate all the reminders not to take things to extremes, like placing the ball slightly inside your left heel ("a ball or two") but not too much, or to almost take a divot, but not really. Plus your overall demeanor is very engaging. You're obviously a very good golfer, but you come across as not placing yourself above your viewers. I'm really looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank you from a new fan.
Thank you Buddy !!
I will try this, thanks.
Chris, great video. Let's say you are doing all these things correctly, but are struggling to get the distance you're in search of. For example, I hit a 300 yard drive on a par 5 and I've got 250 left. It seems like I am always 50 to 70 yard shy after I hit the 3 wood. Maybe I'm just not hitting it hard enough? I connect with it pretty good. I do have generic top flite clubs, so I'm wondering if that's it as well. Any thoughts would be awesome.
YOU INITIALLY SAID HAVE THE BALL, BACK NEARER THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STANCE, BUT THE FIRST SHOT YOU HIT WAS MORE OR LESS JUST INSIDE YOUR LEFT HEEL…LIKE A DRIVER SETUP???
Thank you for the video on this Chris very helpful 🙏🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love it coach👍👍
Awesome instruction! Thank you!
Thanks for posting some great info, will have to try in a couple days Thanks
Great job Chris. Very simple swing thoughts to improve 3 wood shots. Thanks
Great video, I will definitely try this out. Thanks for the tip
This is great. Now what about hitting irons off the turf and the tee.
Great advice Chris,Thank you.
Thank you! Terrific lesson!
👍👍
I see the 3 wood, and immediatley see a terrible shot, gonna try this out on the range and pray it works on the course tomorrow will keep yall posted
Great video.Thank you….. I know this is a silly question but I have to ask it. Do you look at the ball or the tee in front of the ball when swinging?
The best Tip. Thank you so much Chis
The guy on the tractor gave you the finger and called you a chump. I believe he said " put your purse down and use both hands "
Are you just going to stand there and take that crap ?
Great lesson Chris! Took your instruction to the range and hit solid 3 woods from the turf and the tee for an hour. The next round, I shot 74 with birdie and eagle looks due to well struck 3 woods. I have renewed confidence w the 3 wood. Your lessons are a huge help.Thanks again!
Best advice for the 3 Wood. Kudos
And what most people DON'T realise is this is the set up for ALL your Irons too…..ALL you have to do is move your back foot!!!! Just have to find that 'sweet' spot (1 1/2 to 2 inches inside your left foot)…
Good explanation and instruction. This wasn't too wordy, nor is there too much offered to think about for the actual setup and swing.
Very logical and simple. Rick Shiels gives the advice to play the ball only 2 inches left from the middle of your stance … I find a fact to think over and try out in practice. 😉🏌️♂️
i keep my eye on the top of the golf ball for all shots and after watching your video seems a similar result
… it wouldn't be a Chris's video.. without ducks, mowers.. Luvitt👌🏼😉👍🏼👍🏼
Great to tee balls lower and still keep them between your heals
Aim for the tractor!
A 9:44 video?
Hit your 3-wood like an iron.
You’re welcome.
