How to Stop Hitting Grounders with Fairway Woods | Breaking Bad Scores | Golf Digest

Jason Guss shows you how to fix this common mistake so you can start bombing 3-woods and hitting par 5s in under 2. Transcript If you re sweeping your three wood, you re doing it all wrong. To make the ball go up, you have to hit down. Let me show you how. You can t seem to get your three wood to go high in the air. The cause? You re probably hanging too far back on your back foot, causing you to try to hit up on it or sweep your three wood. The fix? You have to hit more down on it. And I m gonna show you how to this simple drill with two tees that will have you bombing three woods and hitting par fives in two in no time. You re gonna put the club head just behind your golf ball and actually put these two tees down into the ground to where they re almost all the way in, but not quite. Now, if you make your old swing and your weight goes back onto your back foot, you ll probably feel your club head nick one of those tees. So how do you hit more down on it? Number one, you re gonna feel like your weight shifts more into your front foot. When you do that, that s gonna help the club come down on a little steeper angle. So if you can make the weight shift forward, you re going to be hitting high three woods in no time.
