Now the one thing I want to talk to you about is loft. Loft is your friend when it comes to fairway woods ok A lot of you have 3 woods in your bag and they come out like this low and flat. All right well low and flat is fine if the conditions are conducive to you hitting shots that run but they also make other fairway woods and the great thing about these new fairway woods is you can adjust the loft.

So if I come in here and I have 2 different woods I have a 3 wood right there and this is a strong 5 wood. All right so now I have a shorter club with more loft and when I make the move when I make my swing it's a lot easier for me to get this ball up in the air I have more confidence and it goes almost as far as my 3 wood. So you have to pay attention if your hitting low flat fairway wood shots and you never get them in the air you have too little loft get yourself a strong 4 wood a strong 5 wood and play it because I'll guarantee you you're not going to get the ball to go as far if it's run on the ground.
