Make 1 Change And Start CRUSHING Your 3 Wood

Many golfers would have the 3 wood as the hardest club in the bag to use as it's very often the longest and lowest lofted club that we have to hit from the fairway.

If you are struggling with this club like many other make 1 change and start crushing your 3 wood, and the best part, its a simple change too

In this video I share some trackman numbers and some easy to follow concepts that can be a game changer when hitting fairway woods

Much needed video. I hate hitting with my 3W. Hopefully, I can change the love/hate relationship with the club.

[andremostert]

FINALLY!!! I have watched hundreds of instructional videos before… yours have been the best by FAR. Clear, precise & to the point. Brilliant!! 🍺🍺

I’m a 70 year old 5 handicap and I’m impressed with how often i learn new things from your videos. Always wondered why my teed 3 woods didn’t get the carry that i got on the fairway….now I know…55 years late but…now I know. Thank you. How about teed irons I’m guessing the same thing would translate there?

When I close my eyes and think 3wood I see a topped shot. This gives me a great chance to change that. And your explanation of 3wood off the tee is excellent. Part of the reason for failure with this club is confusion about ball position, tee height, angle of attack etc. this helps clear that fog immensely. Thanks!

Great lesson Chris! Took your instruction to the range and hit solid 3 woods from the turf and the tee for an hour. The next round, I shot 74 with birdie and eagle looks due to well struck 3 woods. I have renewed confidence w the 3 wood. Your lessons are a huge help.Thanks again!

Gr8 lesson Chris. I've always teed my 3W up 1/2" and crush it as I'm a good driver of the ball. However, from the fairway I never hit it higher than 20 feet in the air even with solid contact. I tried taking a divot just in front of the ball and now I launch it in the air. From now on I'll always tee my 3W low. Thanks Brother

I will try that tip for 3 wood. I use to hit it well till I had hip and knee surgery. I am all recovered now but struggling with 3 wood.

[marksimmons]

Thanks Chris, I no longer worry whether I’ll top this shot. I’ve happily put my three wood back in my bag. Great clear and concise instruction.👏👏👏

[stephenbrown]

Hi Chris, I actually use a very low green tee, so it's the same swing. It's transformed my game and simplified my shot thoughts, and set up off the tee and fairway. Thank you for going through this again as it works so well.

[patrickwhite]

Best 3-wood video I have seen on Youtube. Strongly recommend.

[BobBohner]

Boy that makes great sense. Should I use the same technique for my 4-6 woods? I’m a 79 yr old senior.

Good explanation and instruction. This wasn't too wordy, nor is there too much offered to think about for the actual setup and swing.

[danielchamier]

Great video. As it happens I hit a downward 3W off the fairway and a level or slightly upward 3W off the tee as I find the slight tee height (maybe 10mm) gives me more reliable contact off the tee and more distance. I often use 3W instead of driver on this basis on tight holes. There are definitely two ways of hitting this club off the tee and both can work for different players.

[bretthompson]

I agree, great lesson on hitting the 3 wood. I am looking forward to implementing some of the things I learned in tomorrows game. Thanks!

[elbertsprings]

I have just recently took up golfing and Chris your videos have helped so much!!! I am no means any good yet but the effort is there lol ty sir for what you do

[paulcairney]

Thanks for the tip chris you make it so easy i will be trying this out tomorrow to use this club which i have not used for months due to having poor contact which i have not used for a while.

[djulesunchained]

Golf youtubers must have a daily conference, heard the same ball position advice off a tee vs the deck on another video yesterday. Went from consistently topping to consistently ball striking immediately! Thanks!

[bamlani]

This is the only video I have found that explains how to use 3 wood. Thanks a million Chris.

[paulmount]

So glad I found your videos. Have never had hitting fairway woods explained, let alone explained so well! Thanks

[criveamboy]

This promotes more consistency for sure.. Definitely gotta try these methods! Btw some tips to share: To adapt my setup and swing to the hills and lies on the course I do the following: 1. Determine where my club head bottoms out. 2. Where is the ball position perpendicular to my target line and body. The bill of hat, the 45 degree turn of my hip and how everything fits balanced as references 3. Rotate my body with minimum shift. 4. I create different angles in my backswing to deliver the club back and control trajectory & 5. I establish 3 progressively faster baseline tempos for set distance ranges.. effortless, more speed & full swing!
