Do This for Solid Strikes Using Fairway Woods

For avid golfers who find themselves leaning heavily on fairway woods, hybrids, and the like, this lesson might just be your game-changer. You see, that extra oomph in distance and reliability you’ve been chasing might have eluded you not because of a lack of effort, but perhaps due to a slight misunderstanding of technique—that ‘aha!’ moment is simpler than you think, and it could have been benefiting your game all along.

Hit Hybrids and fairway woods better iand higher even with slower golf swing speed. It’s an important golf lesson especially if you are recreational golfer, a senior golfer, a golf beginner or struggle with long irons.

A hybrid or a fairway wood can be your secret weapon. But you need to know some simple golf swing tips to make sure you get the most out of them.

– Explains common misconceptions people have trying to hit woods and hybrids
– Promises a simple fix to get better results

Common Mistakes
– Putting the ball too far forward in your stance
– Having to chase and lunge at the ball as a result
– Losing dynamic loft and compression

Bad Results with 3 woods and hybrids

– Shows a bad shot with ball too far forward
– Low knuckleball flight with low spin

Solution
– Put the ball in line with a pitching wedge instead
– Feels much further back than you think
– Naturally improves swing mechanics
– Better strike and flight with same easy swing
– Increased spin, height, distance, and compression

If you find that you use a lot of fairway, metals, hybrids, things like that, you are going to love this lesson because the way you are probably trying to hit solid fairway clubs, the way you’re trying to get more distance, more height, more reliability is actually making it worse.

And it’s not a complicated swing change. It is something that is so annoyingly simple. You’re gonna wish you knew it a long time ago. One of the big misconceptions when it comes to Fairway metals, hybrids is thinking we have to help them up in the air.

These clubs are very well designed. They do a lot of the work for you, but it’s still uh, a misconception. It’s still almost like instinctual to think, well I’ve got to sweep this off the tur. I don’t wanna be taking a divot like you would an iron.

I wanna be sweeping it up to make it go higher longer. But it’s actually doing the exact opposite For most of you. The way most of you are trying to hit the ball higher with these things, you are putting it further in your stance.

Going further forward here thinking I’m gonna stay behind it. I can now swing up on it a little bit and get that sweeping action. It’s kind of crazy what happens when we do set up with the bull further forward. What actually happens? We do a few things because it’s further forward,

We have to sort of chase it a little bit, meaning that we kind of push the hands a little bit further forward, which is going to create less dynamic loft. That’s also going to create another factor, which is trying to find it a little bit too much here and then we

Try and lunge the body a little bit too much. Both of those things are gonna affect what’s called dynamic loft, meaning how active the angle of the faces to striking the ball, to getting it up in the air and when you have the ball further forward.

It also has negative effects for the type of mechanics that you want. But just to show you, okay, I’m kind of just doing a, a nudgey swing if you will. Alright, that was a nice smooth contact. Hopefully you can see from the ball flight there,

It kind of had this knuckle ball effect. We were pretty low on the spin. That’s I think kind of looking at what we are kind of aiming for somewhat. The launch was pretty low, the ball suit was pretty low and the distance wasn’t exactly magical. Okay, I’m only just doing a nudgey swing,

But this is not very successful when it comes to either trying to land it on the green from a, you know, a good distance away because it’s not gonna stop. ’cause we’ve got that sort of shape where it’s knuckle balling. We want it to have a more penetrating ball flight,

But we want it to go a little bit higher and have the spin that’s going to keep it online and stop a little bit quicker and give us more distance. So having the ball position too far forward. It only really applies to a driver and not always the case.

’cause that’s the only one we want to be hitting up up. So where do we want it? We want it to be much further back than you really think it might be. And one of the ways we can try and emphasize this is to

Not just use your three wood. I want you to grab a wedge. And the reason why we’re doing this is I want you to imagine that your pitching wedge, sand wedge, or whatever you’ve got is actually the same length as your three wood.

But I want you to put your ball position like you would your pitching wedge. So for a pitching wedge, we want it at least a club, maybe a little bit more. We want it just left of the sternum or my zipper here. Okay, that’s a vague benchmark,

But that’s where I would have my pitching wedge somewhere like this. Right now, if I wanna put my three wood here, if I wanna put my three wood in the same position, that’s gonna feel quite awkward. But if I stand further back, okay,

Trying to keep everything in the same kind of alignment here, you can see now that the ball is much further back than it was. But what’s this going to do? This is going to help us in a couple of ways. For one, it’s going to stop that lunge and chasing forward.

It’s also going to stop that uh, feeling of having to try and help it up as well. ’cause what you’ll notice is by having the ball further back here, at least dynamically, you’ll, you know the ball is further back. So you’ll have actually an intention instead of letting the arms sort of push

Forward this way, installing the body, you’ll have an intention that makes you almost release the club a little bit earlier so you can catch it at the right time without the too much sort of shuffling, which is what you’re actually doing when you put it further forward, when you’re practicing,

It’s always really good to just try and calibrate yourself with alignment sticks and find some kind of benchmark and a foundation that we can continue to work on. So I wanna have the ball just about left of my sternum and that’s going to feel quite far back to begin with. However,

Even with a little pudgy swing where we’re just nudging it forward, okay, we’re gonna get a lot more strike compression. We’re gonna get more spin and it is not going to have as much dip. It’s gonna have a more penetrating flight because we don’t have to fix anything in the technique as much.

You instinctively will adapt and adjust to improve your release, to have more power where you need it at the bottom instead of trying to push everything through. And you can see. Up here, we got more back spin, we got more distance,

We got more ball speed, and all we did was change the ball position. And I’m not obviously hitting these full, I’m just trying to demonstrate that it’s not about swing speed, it’s not about any complicated mechanics. We are just trying to encourage ourselves to use the dynamic

Loft and to release properly so you can get more compression and hit much better. Three woods hybrids, even long irons. So I’ve really encouraged you to try this out, calibrate yourself with a wedge, with your seven iron and see where we are with hybrids, with three woods,

And just how much better ball flight you’re going to get. So use these little checkpoints, start testing it out and see how much more your swing is gonna improve. If you want to get a little bit more speed outta your fairway woods, then this lesson is going to really help that.

But give this a try and you will be surprised at how much better you are with your fairway woods and hybrids. Thanks for watching.
