    Over the years of playing the game I have become convinced that the job of the fairway wood is to introduce the full measure of frustration that golf has to offer.

  • @Johnnatheman
    @Johnnatheman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You confirmed what I had to learn the hard way. Topping a fairway wood was normal. But one day after watching a chart of the path of a driver up to a teed ball I was puzzled about the other fairway woods, why do we then play them forward also without a tee? Didn't make sense. Then I put them in the middle of my stance and problem solved. Wish I would have had this advice 40 years ago. :)

  • @monotts5218
    @monotts5218 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very clear explanation yet is contrary to what other You Tube Pros advocate. I've seen some, like you, who say forward of middle while others say the ball should be in line with the left armpit. I've tried both and I'm more towards left chest. My conclusion is ball position is influenced by my swing. I tend to be steep in the downswing and "middle" pops the ball up, while more forward enables a much better ball flight/distance. So isn't the position dependant on each golfers down/through swing?

  • @hengo6855

    Excellent explanation. I couldn't hit a 3 Wood off the ground for years and simply stopped trying, until I stopped thinking it was just me not be able to do it, and realizing that I had to just find the bottom of my swing arc with that club (as well as with all the others), and play the ball from there. I was shocked to find out how far back I needed to move that ball back in the stance.

      Straight down from the lead ear or a ball forward of that is usually a pretty good place. You can play it further up if you have a lie where the ball is sitting up like it's on a tee. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

    • @TopSpeedGolf
      @TopSpeedGolf  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, if you're hitting it off of a tee then you can hit up on it and launch it. You can tee it up similar to how you would with a driver. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

  • @keithborucki2172
    @keithborucki2172 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So are you saying the ball position for every club except the driver should be close to the middle of stance. I assume that if you use a 3 wood to tee off you can put that up in your stance like the driver.

    • @TopSpeedGolf
      @TopSpeedGolf  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Keith, if you really want to simplify things then you can play all shots off the turf a little ahead of the middle of your stance. Yes, if the 3 wood is on a tee then you can play it more forward similarly to a driver. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

      Hey Roy, that's definitely going to be tougher. Try to match your shoulders to the angle of the slope. You may need to play the ball a little further back in the stance. Expect the ball to come out a lot lower. Play well! Quentin | TSG Instructor

    @method341 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is dangerous information. Heaps of pro golfers play the three wood off the deck way up in the stance. I actually get better contact when I put it closer to my left foot because it forces me to sweep the clubhead and weight shift in the downswing (otherwise I'll hit it fat and top it).
