  • This Fairway wood technique is SO EASY TO MASTER. This is WITHOUT DOUBT the most EFFECTIVE Fairway wood techniqueTO DATE! I know golfers of all levels use fairway woods. Fairways can be difficult to master in golf & they are so effective when you can hit them from the fairway from the & the rough! This technique can be used off a tee peg, off the deck on the fairway! I see far too often HUGE mistakes made when hitting a fairway wood, this that one wrong adjustment will cause you to SLICE the golf ball, HOOK the golf ball, catch the golf ball thin or even the ground first and hit a fat strike!
    Make this slight adjustment correct & WITHOUT DOUBT the most EFFECTIVE Fairway wood technique TO DATE! All the top tour pros use fairway woods , Jon Rahm, SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER & RORY MCILROY all use them so effectively its now time you found the correct golf swing technique to date and learn to hit your golf fairway woods correctly!
    Fairways woods need to be taken with a divot, ball then turf! Never hit the ground with fairway woods.

    Alex I played with my senior golfers yesterday and after the first hole of loosing 2 balls with my driver I started using my 3-5 fairway woods.. to my amazement I was driving nearly as far as my driver … but always in play or even the middle of the fairway… I now watching the video again because I can only seam to take one item a time to the course… next time I be working on the practice swing and brushing the ground…
    Also you black don’t on my wedges is making them go so much further… it’s a nice problem to have as I now got to work out my new approach yardage for my clubs as my sandwedge has gone from 70 to 90yards..
    I think it’s change the way I striking all my irons… I just can’t hit my 6-5 irons…
    Many thanks

    Intimidating clubs, those hybrids and FW Metals. The preshot swings with small divots is good. However, after having spent like weeks devising a way to avoid that first tee top with my 4h and the subsequent walk of shame in front of my flight partners, I can offer this:
    Key to ensure a solid strike contact under pressure is basically to keep the head perfectly still and the weight at least 60% on the lead foot. On setup you take a 60% weight on lead foot AND KEEP IT LIKE THAT. Do NOT sway to the back while going into back swing, rather feel your lead shoulder pointing down to the ball. Lastly, do not try to swing hard. Let the club do it's magic and swing easy and round (picked that up from Danny Maude, thanks mate).

  • @vonundzusas
    @vonundzusas Рік тому

    Hi Alex, great video! There's one thing I don't understand. So without a tee you want to have ground contact just at the center of the ball. I would translate this to an attack angle somewhere between -1 and 0. So more like an iron and not like a driver. That makes total sense to me. But when using a tee you're teeing up pretty high and still use the same technique. From my understanding this should produce sky balls as you're hitting down on the ball. How does that work? Or do you rather hit up like with the driver when using tees? I am really confused :D Thank you!

    Hey Alex quick question. I struggle with finding the bottom of my swing arc consistently resulting in a lot of fat and thin shots with an occasional pure shot. My question is... if you rest the iron on the ground behind the ball, wouldnt that be the low point of the arc? Should I hover my irons behind the ball to prevent the arc being behind it?

  • @chrishorne9228

    1. Brush the ground, dont dig.
    2. You should never have all kinds movement like that at the elbows on any shot.
    3. On the tee, your ball should be around a half ball above your wood, just like every other wood in your bag? 😅
