Fairway woods off the deck are tough…long club, tight lie, small margin
for error. I suggest a great deal of emphasis on your setup. Be certain
your lines (shoulders, hips, knees, ankles) are parallel left, weight
centered, ball position inside left heel. Choking up will give you a bit of
clubhead control, but not much more. As for swing, sounds cliche, but
maintain balance and tempo. It’s easy to get fast. Simplify your motion,
minimize lateral motion, more rotation around stable spine. GL!
Casey, I have some troubles consistently hitting my fairway woods off the
deck. Should I have more of a flat swing when hitting fairway woods? Also,
I tend to take huge divots with my irons, especially the short irons,
however when hitting fairway woods choking up on the club to get a more of
a sweeping effect I feel reduces distance. I know it’s hard to make
judgement when you haven’t seen my swing, but please let me know what you
can do. Thanks
I like ur channel. How about doing a video on the 3 wood chip shot that
Dufner was so consistent with in the PGA championship.
Drives are hit different then a 3 wood. My ball is on my left foot with my
left shoulder up slightly. Put a nice relaxed swing making sure I follw
through and finish towards the target line. With the new drivers…. balls
just take off with little effort. With an 80% swing with a new driver you
should easily get 250.
20sainthockey: If you’re hitting your 3 wood 300 yards, you’re swinging
with some serious clubhead speed. The issue with the driver is that
clubface angle determines almost entirely where the ball will go…with
your speeds, the margin for error is minimal. I haven’t seen you swing, so
difficult to answer some of your questions (send vid if you want). With
driver, ball off left foot, left shoulder. Be very precise with your body
lines (shoulders, hips, feet) to give you best shot at success…
Alright, thanks for taking a look at my swing! I do have another question
though. I am reading the Swing Plane Rehearsal Drill and I do not quite
understand this part: “From there, move 6 – 8 inches at a right angle
toward your stance side of the target line.” I have seen people put dowels
or shafts to their left and right but I am not sure quite where they should
be placed and at which angle. I am going to try a few drills and work on
swing plane until I get that figured out. Thanks again!
same lol its difficult, but i keep going at it, i decided to go to a local
driving range to hit my shots a little better with a friend and which has
helped alot
Just throwing this out there…the same ball position tendency happens in
putting as well. Whenever we move the ball away from the center of our
stance, it seems to affect a player’s alignment and body lines, thus
affecting the swing plane. The putting stroke is also on an inclined plane,
although normally on a short arc. Be sure to consider this on the greens if
you like to play the ball more forward in your stance. Write me if you have
questions. Good luck with your game!
I have posted a video response of my golf swing that was done with a 3
wood. I believe I hit a little above the ground but it was about what my
normal swing is like. Although, when I hit a golf ball, my followthrough is
not nearly that far, almost as if the club stops halfway up my left side.
Just after the recording, I hit the golf ball and accidentally threw my
club into the trees next to me on the finish. Guess I was holding the club
a little too loosely, or my grip was bad.
Suhh wheat
so, do you just have to hit it clean, no divot?
Casey, I hit a 3 Wood off the tee never a Driver. I have a mental block
with a Driver in my hands. I do hit the 3 Wood 300 yards (on average, some
longer some shorter). My question is I have totally lost the ability to hit
the club off a tee and fairway. I think my problem is that I basically
forgot where the hand position should be at address, should my hands be
behind the ball?? I think I also have the ball too far towards the middle
of my stance. I also think tempo is an issue. HELP PLEASE!!
There are lots of reasons why players struggle with distance, i.e. clubhead
speed, efficiency of contact, angle of attack, swing sequence, etc. If I
could see a video of your swing, especially from a frontal view (like my
fairway vid), I could probably suggest some things. As for distance
separation between the clubs, this is simply a function of less overall
distance. Long hitters have more separation, short hitters, less. Let’s get
you some distance, then the club separation will be fine.
a- scending speak english!!!
great set up thanks for the trips
Hey Casey, I am having some trouble with getting good distance on my golf
shots. I have watched tons of videos on stance and ball position and have
virtually gotten rid of the horrible slice I used to have through working
on grip and stance. My problem is, I can hit roughly the same distance with
a 4 Hybrid, 5 wood, 3 wood, and driver. My 4 hybrid and 5 wood may be
slightly shorter but same area. I hit all of those about 150-175 yards. I
would really appreciate some help on gaining distance.
I agree. I have a hybrid 5 wood that I position like my irons I just don’t
pinch the ball and leave a divot of any size. I play my 3 wood forward and
sweep it. My problem is tempo. If I put my normal speed and hit down the
target line I’m good. Sometimes I get to quick and loose with hands and
draw it to much. When I hit it perfect it goes 230!
1 Year? that’s nothing. Take a lesson dude. It took me 4 years to find
consistency of any kind. The problem is easily in your swing. Pay for
lessons from a pro.
Let the club do the work man. DONT try to power it, and swing hard. I
promise. Do this..trust the club. You will be hittin FW with ease.
Simple really good tips
Hybrids should actually be positioned the same way as irons, as they have
the same loft as a 3 or 4 iron and only take the shape of a fairway wood.
This is just to make the long irons easier to hit.
great awesome! really helpful! thanks!
Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your right ear as well!
Good luck.
…with square setup, you’ll have the best chance to catch ball with square
clubface and good swing path. As for hand position, I like your hands more
or less in front of your sternum for most every shot. With the driver, ball
is positioned forward, so yes, your hands would be positioned slightly
behind the ball at setup. This will encourage an ascending angle of attack,
which is desired. Positioning the ball too far back in your stance with the
driver can lead to compensations and inconsistency
I was always told let the club do the work. Swing and tempo are important.
Swing the club and the ball gets in the way. When I started, I hit dozens
of balls per club and averaged the distance of the balls I hit well. So I
know if I put a nice swing on my 60 degree wedge I go 90 yards, 52 goes
110, pitching wedge 120-125. Same balanced swing. You’ll know its balanced
if you easily hold your follow through and don’t fall over and you’re
pointed towards the target!
