This is one of the best videos I've seen for fairway woods and hybrids...........I've been topping my 3-wood for a long time......can't wait to hit the range and implement what was explained in this lesson!!!
I’m going to be honest here but your videos sounds like clickbaity but man what you teach here in your channel actually works! I struggle to hit my wood to the point that I rarely touch it but this video after watching it and trying it out made me hit my woods far better than my driver with minimal effort. Thank you
You must have seen me play yesterday. I topped my 7 wood a few times yesterday! But. Irons were great. I actually made a few divots where normally I pick the ball. The low point control with the weight shift has been a game changer. Thanks again.
Great stuff. These clubs are the hardest for me to hit. Going to try these tips. Does the "hands low" swing thought work for irons too? Is it different for driver?
Awesome video. I do the same setup as per your video here with the slight side bend with the ball slightly forward. I thought that promotes a slightly upward strike while brushing the sole off the ground. I hit my 3 wood with baby draw and high launch like this. Before adding the side bend it was difficult for me to hit my 3 wood but I thought it was because i had a downward strike. Is it really true that downward strike is still favored for the FW and hybrids?
To be clear, when I tee up the ball when hitting with my 5 wood, I swing at it as it it was on the ground, and not as if it was a ball teed up for a driver. Correct?
An issue often not talked about is course condition especially the fairway grass. In many daily fee courses the fairways are often cut higher and in later summer grass gets quite thin. Fairway woods just not easy to hit unlike the plush fairways I see on youtube.
The answer isn’t a one size fits all. Less grass you’d hit more down. More grass then it depends on if the ball is sitting up or down. Is the grass growing into your or way from you
@@Gilesgillgolf I was there around 10 years ago and really enjoyed it there! We are booked for a golf trip there in June 2025….. How are the courses there now ? Are they in good condition? PS Thank you for your wonderful content by the way …. You always help make it all SO much easier to understand !🙏🏼
@ that’s amazing to hear! I didn’t actually play the courses but they looked in fantastic condition! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content & finding value in it!

Thank you so much! Hope this is a game changer!
I absolutely loved this. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!

Got to play the game to get you to click on the video. Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the VDO. Some really good tips. I was just wondering, Why is your back so much cross over the top?
From an old injury & it’s easy to shallow the club from this position
So clear and precise instruction !!
Thank you!

Amazing! I’m glad it’s helping
As someone who doesn’t hit the ball as far as he used too I can say that these clubs are key
Amazing Harry! Hope this helps with your distance
My 5 wood is my best club
Amazing!
Great video and explanation been struggling to get my hybrid in the air, will be at the range today thx
Glad it helped!
Got a 5w 3h and took out my 3w, 3i,& 4i. Much better but still room for improvement. This vid should help! Thx
Glad it helped!

Works for all clubs
Send this to a buddy who needs to learn how to hit their hybrids & fairway woods better!
So send it to myself

My swing thought was to brush the ground lightly before the ball.
Every tour pro hits down on the hybrids & 3 wood. Only exception is if they have it on a big high tee
Another enjoyable video. I’m having trouble hitting my hybrids weak high right but not problematic with fairway woods. Thoughts welcome 😊🙏
I hope this helps!

I play a 13.5 3 wood and a 16 and 20 hybrid because my next club is the 5 iron!
Love it!
Wouldn't the longer shaft of the 5W make it more difficult than a 4iron?
Yes but the whole point is the head had far more technology to make strike easier which is the special part of these clubs
I cannot hit long irons so this is great
Hope this helps Harrison
new to your channel after seeing you w Eric Cogorno. Many thanks for a great lesson!!
Thanks for the sub! Eric is great so I’m glad you enjoyed our collaboration
Good tips, can’t wait to try this, Iv’e had the ball too far forward.
Good luck! Hope this helps
Thank you
No problem! Hope you enjoyed the video!
Where was this filmed Giles? It looks like the Reunion resort in Florida??
It is indeed!

Thank you Tom!
i can't play w/o my 4 iron...I need it on 185 yd par 3's.
Hybrid time
Skip a rock
I like that
Thank you!
Hover ! Guaranted divot past the ball and no hitting fat anymore
Love the hover
No, you don't need a wider stance. As wider stance makes the transfer of weight to the back foot on the backswing more difficult.
Wider stance is relative to standard irons
The biggest reminder is don’t try to crush the ball just swing easy !
Good point
Tell Rory that he crushes everything
Hybrids only go left.
Old ones yes but new ones no
@ even new ones for me still go left
@ would find a good fitter then. If you’re in the uk I can recommend some
Position the ball off the logo on your golf shirt, on every full swing. Now, never talk about ball position again. Done Done Done.
Draws and fades 👀
Logo on your golf shirt, you must be rich!
Good info on these clubs. Getting that downward strike is a challenge but I think these drills will help. Thanks! 🏌🏻♂️
Absolutely! It’s something I work on every day
Looks like The Breakers. Nice place to hang out 👍🏻😗🏌🏻♂️
I don’t get it
