In this video tip PGA golf professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer focus on how selecting the correct fairway wood for the job should help to encourage you to create the best quality of strike, the best quality of ball flight, and the longest fairway wood shots depending on the quality of the lie. A keen focus is also placed on staying down through the golf shot and sweeping the turf to create a small divot after the golf ball. This, in turn, should help you to increase the possibility of nailing your Fairway woods.
So where is this tip title suggests Pete how to nail your fairway woods and I don't know about you personally I think the 3 wood off the jack or the fairway wood off the deck is one of the hardest shots In golf if we can nail him we're going to give us a couple of points to do it but firstly why don't we now last and why we hitting these pull shots and what the push shots that we would say will nail the big wood is just getting this thing's going to be. Absolutely I'm thinking that the show in my mind is about right and I mean why don't we know a little 2 things I think one is a very difficult job yet the 2nd thing is we don't practice enough it's not a shot that we get commonly on the golf course you're there on how well you drive you might not be seeing a lot of 3 wood action on the golf course. The hole just doesn't require it but then when the hole does require a long par 5 long possibles with a 2nd shot approach and then it becomes difficult because I've not done it over and over again during the round on a probably don't practice a great deal of point running with a vengeance on practice and if you're out for a practice round give yourself a couple of opportunities by. Maybe if you drive a team to let yourself get one of these into a Great OK so what would we see as the is the wrong one and where does that stem from one wave hitting these poor flyers I would say that some people call fairway wood because they're in the wrong club in the wrong why the wrong situation.
The club selection on the instant they look out there and it's 250 yards which might be a 3 wood but on the get to the live on the line looks more like it's a 7 iron with the wrong club the club. Never going to get the contact and therefore we struggle using the wrong club from the wrong like it's a good quality like yeah then you can use good technique now all technique would often look like this where we are back and we're trying to help the ball up in yeah yeah to me You look like you're jumping off a way from the golf ball if you hit that lot of golfers want to see the 3 wood go high started with. He would might go to live so they think well I mean to help me be involved in lifting this ball into the air except you see the top of the paintwork gets hit the ball rolled off the ground you know that's quite a common shock a lot of golfers and it's definitely not nailed by the way. That word again like so what we're going to do differently to nail it as you say I think it's that it's got to be good the ball position is going to be ahead of sense of what quite well towards my left side of my body weight nice 50/50 I mean it's important that I don't play off the ball this way it is way too far back but likewise I'm not to my left side it's quite so nice. And off the ball then my keeps it for this video because I want to stay down through impact so I want to fill up my spine angle maintain my stay down low down I'm going to lift out of the shot rather than jumping out of the shot not willing to sounds that is supposed to open back down the ball and stand up for the calling here and I'm going to exaggerate one for.
The big thing later I'm going to nail it if I can but I'm going to try and stay right down in my posture and my follow through. Lastly certainly now you'll stay down here through impact government. For me though the left side of the big one knows you made the whole swing earlier very tall of this left hand side in a way moving back open and healthcare as a way is the exaggeration you make a we've stayed down it looks a bit more than and we can see that you are lying so I started to nail that one because I was a fantastic shot last year just to see if we can try and take a little bit of a step it's not necessary that we take a big doubt you have to walk away a little bit of defense after the golf allies and I think that's a good feeling as well for the concept of stay down yes practice this thing get the ball position in the right place make sure using the right club and stay down there you might say yeah I think you know you've hit some really good points and one extra ball now that you took some of the star. Using the why it might be you know beneficial for you to hit a high rate a 7 iron or something instead of trying to dig it out with a terrible liason and then hitting the pole and think you know same old shot again so make sure you choose and get off a good lie staying down on it more taking that little bit of a divot and hopefully you'll start to see that your nailing your fairway woods just like Pete did.
