If you can’t hit a fairway wood off the ground to save your life you don’t understand the difference between a steep swing and a wide swing a steep swing feels like the hands and arms go up and down with minimal chest turn during the takeaway you can get away
With that with a short iron or a wedge because the attack angle is supposed to be more down which is what a steep swing produces with a fairway wood your attack angle is going to be much more of a sweep than it is steep so you need more
Chest turn and a wider swing swing a wider swing is a lot easier if you have a wider takeaway which just feels like you push the club head away straight off the ball instead of lifting it up and you keep your hands low to the ground until after they’ve passed by your Trail
Leg that’s when you can start hinging and lifting your arms because the faster that the hands and arms go up the less the chest turns simplify this understand this and you can get better at golf right Now

Been working on a wider swing lately and in love with my fairway woods for the first time. Similar swing for driver?
I need to get back on the course and try this!
