When the pressure’s on, finding the fairway is all about control. This 3-step routine — narrow stance, limit the wrists, and swing at 50% — will help you hit it straighter, smoother, and keep the ball in play. The swing may feel slower, but you’ll get a more consistent, low-flight shot that finds the fairway. Practice this approach and make it your go-to under pressure.
So, the first thing I’m going to do is actually narrow the stance down to more like an iron width. This is going to give me the intention to actually hit it a little bit softer. The second thing I like to do is swing back and really feel that the wrists aren’t being set in the back swing and then not really being set in the through swing. So, instead of this sort of wrist set here and then a wrist set here, I feel like I’m swinging back almost with dead wrists back and through, which feels short on both sides. Okay. Third and final thing, which is a tricky thing to do, is I actually swing the club at what feels around 50%. In reality, it’s definitely closer to probably 70 to 80. All these three things together help me find that fairway under a little bit of pressure. So, let’s put it all together. Narrow stance, no wrists, 50%. So you see the ball comes out a little bit lower and that is on the fairway stressfree.
