Having Problems With Your Fairway Woods
Your fairway wood striking is inconsistently?
Do you catch wood shots on the bottom of the club?
Try this technique to fix your fairway woods: over the years one of Tiger Woods’ great strengths has been his ability to strike fairway woods so sweetly and accurately. This comes from a technically, very sound upper-body turn during the downswing. This one technical key allows him to strike his fairway woods purely every time with the perfect shallow angle of attack that you are looking for.
Firstly, make sure that your ball position is correct. With your fairway woods in hand, you should be looking to ‘cover’ the ball. This means ensuring that your sternum is over the ball at impact. Many golfers have a tendency to lift their upper body during the downswing, but this will destroy the consistency of your strikes. You need to turn on to the ball and the club will have a shallow, descending angle of attack (as shown here by the alignment stick).
