This will make your FAIRWAY WOODS EXTREMELY consistent. If you do not hit down on your fairway woods, that is going to contribute to you fatting the golf ball, topping the golf ball with your fairway woods, and generally lacking distance with your fairway woods! Something I know you can fix using this new method to hit FAIRWAY WOODS EXTREMELY consistently!

This is where we’re all going wrong with our fairway woods and our hybrids off the deck. And Larry’s asked this question. So, do I hover my fairway woods and set up more like irons? Well, let me tell you exactly today what you’ve got to do with your fairway woods and your hybrids when they’re off the deck on the fairway or even out the semi- rough in order to strike these better. They’re just five simple steps you got to follow. Very simple little things, but add it all together, the 1% 1% 1%, we can get 5% better. Doesn’t sound like a lot. That is massive when we’re talking about improving your golf game and your strike. First part of this is ball position. We just need it a club head inside your left heel. Okay? Probably a lot further back than you’ve had it originally. And I’ll be honest with you, I’d rather it be further back than too far forward. If it’s too far forward, it’s why you’re lacking distance and why you’re topping it. Let me explain. That’s tip number one done. By the way, have a look at this down here. So, if it’s too far forwards, I’ll wait for you to get down there. Can you see why you’d sort of hit the ground here and then naturally look at your club starts to work up too early relative to the ball? Whereas moving it a little bit back in our stance, boom, look at that. And sort of strike it and possibly like make a slight divot. That’s what I want you to make. Now, stay there for me. I’m gonna come and kneel down. Now, I want you to think about this. Now, on the golf course, I realize like you can’t position it on the fairway, right? You can’t. But what I want you to imagine is you’re gonna split your golf ball in half. You’re going to imagine if this is the golf ball, you’re always going to contact the ground this side if target was this way. So, placing this down, I’ll use the line here, but look, look, I realize you can’t have it like this when you’re playing. We want to contact the ground this side only. This side only. Not brushing here and catching it. No, this side only. Exactly like you would do with an iron. So that’s tip number two. We split the golf ball in half in our mind. And we imagine we’re contacting here. Like I even pick out like a bit of grass. Like look, a bit of this grass here. Like look in my mind bit like a hammer and a nail. I want to contact that. I’ve got an incentive and an intention towards hitting down more. Stage number three. Now stick around because we are going to hit the shot which look at this. Right? Got a bunker left, a bunker right, cabbage up the left, cabbage down the right. Like striking a fairway woods 220, 230 yards out like this is literally make or break to you having a good score or not. Like this 17th is known as make or break. It’s what we call it here at Motum Hall. You either have a good hole or you don’t. So So where where do you think I’m going to land it here? Five wood in my hand. Where do you think I’m going to land it? Be kind. Be very kind. Okay. So, tip number three on our list. You’ve got to think about the golf swing this way. We’ve got two levers. We’ve got this lever in our swing and we’ve got this. Where fairway woods go wrong is we tend to let this part of our lever go too quick relative to this top one swinging. So, look, look at the golf ball here. If I swing back, let this lever go, then swing my arm. Can you see how now I hit the ground far too early, start the club to work up far too early. That’s why you’re topping. That’s why you’re topping. So, you’ve got to understand that we need to time the lever release of both. So, I want you to make some practice swings, right? half to begin with trying to control the lever to contact the ground where we just said split your golf ball in half on the target side. Can you see that there? I think that really makes sense, doesn’t it? So, think if you go back, this lever goes too early before this one swings down under our chin. Where do I hit the ground? Swing under our chin, then let it go. We start to hit more ahead. So, for tip number three, I want you to have a few practice swings contacting the ground around the middle to head of that golf ball. That’s tip number three. Now, I can’t wait to get into the final two parts of this video. But if you’re enjoying content just like this and you’re tired of slicing it, chunking it, or just simply stuck at the same handicap, that ends today. It’s here.

So, click now, grab your spot, and let’s get dropping shots from your game today. Now, quickly, number four, we’re nearly the end of this bit here. And don’t forget, I will show you with hybrids as well. It’s slightly different, right? Tip number four on our list. I want you to now just do that same thing. So, have a look at this in the screen here. Make the same style practice swings, but a little bit longer, more like three quarter swings as you just did onehanded, trying to hit the ground at that point. Because think, we all forget that we need to hit the ground with a fairway wood. So, we’ve got to test the water, haven’t we? And I do that before every single shot. Just test that water. Tip number five is our starting position with our club head. If I’ve got an intention to hit down, I want to hover. So, I would hover it roughly like half an inch, an inch in the air, like that. And that far back of the ball. So, I’m starting like that. I’m going to stay there as you move up just so you can see that. But, as a closeup, that’s where I’m starting. Now, as you move up there, can you see? Like, look, I’m hovering it. I think if I can hover, I can hit down. If I’m low, I might scoop up. So, full routine. This is how I do it on the course. I’ve got my yardage. Tough shot, I know. I’d walk in, first practice swing, just onehanded, test the water. Second one, hit the ground at that point. I need to test the ground. It’s so important. Walk in, get your ball position, hover it. Now, watch this. Oh, this is toughy. Oh, look at that shot. Look at that. That’s middle of the green. Oh, get on the green. Come around on the slope. Tell you what, you take that every time. But look at this. Come and look at this here. What did I make? I know it’s a little bit wet. So, it’s a bit more divot than normal. That’s fine. But look, I made a little bit of a bruising divot. The ball was there. Brush and bruise. Now, because it’s wet, I’ve just taken more. So, let’s now do hybrid. Now, I want to talk about a few things here quickly, right? I want you not to use a 3-wood. I just think you’re not going to get much use out of it. Like they’re dead hard to hit, especially off the deck. I think maybe like a fourwood or a fivewood is much better. Okay, let’s talk hybrid now. I’m going to do something very similar. So, let’s go have a look. So, ball position needs to be the same club head inside and possibly a club head and a half depending on the loft of your hybrid. Now, mine’s a seven I length as you can see. It’s it’s very small. So, I I have this where 7 is, but let’s imagine it’s not. So, it’s relative to you. Look at that there. Now, if you come around, that’s where I’d have it. So, that’s where, let’s say, your fivewood was. That’s now where I’m looking for. So, clubing a bit bit further back just to help me hit down a little more. Five would this one. And now I’m roughly around there. I’m still going to hover that club because I got the intention to hit down. So, treat it very much the same apart from that ball position. Oh, I tell you what, that’s like a trace bullet. Go. It’s not quite the right club. It needs a big kick. Oh, tell you what, two for two on the green from this distance. A little divot again. Tell you what, follow those tips and I know you will start to do exactly the same. Thanks for watching.
