  • In this tip, I teach you how to hit your fairway woods consistently. So many beginners and even experienced golfers end up topping their fairway woods or just don't hit them solidly. There's a reason for that which I share with you in this tip.
    Free samples from my Body Swing book and video series here: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
    A lot of hitting your fairway woods better comes down to how you think. That's right. In order to hit these clubs solid and consistently you need to think of the right thing. Once you have the right thoughts it's about technique. This doesn't mean you have to change your swing. You just need to do this one thing that will allow you to hit your fairway woods higher and more solidly.
    So watch this tip and try it out the next time you're at the range. If so, I guarantee you will learn how to hit your fairway woods consistently long and straight.

      I think the woods you are referring to are actually the top flite intimidator titanium 400 that are based on the Lee Trevino prototype Bondo Bounce. Pretty cool none the less

    So flippin' true. One more piece to your puzzle Paul is that taking the thought of LESS distance with a fairway wood will almost always result in hitting the ball in the sweet spot, so the distance will actually occur. Keep preaching, some of us are receiving your message! 😉

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 8 měsíci

      Exactly. I prove this all the time. Literally with about 4 balls they are hitting it amazingly well. Previous to that they couldn't get it airborne.

    Thanks, Paul. Ironically, I started doing this on my own with my 3 and 4 hybrid during the last round I played. I can’t tell you how unbelievably well this worked out for me. Now that you’ve said it, it’ll be stuck in my game forever. An 80% swing with clean club face contact is way better than a topped 1000% effort swing.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před rokem +2

      Very good. These clubs are so easy to hit but you need to not hit. The total opposite of what everyone wants to do. Stick with it and this will dramatically change your game. Good job.

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks for the sub! Simple is the key for sure. You actually need to understand it and try it. Too complicated and you probably won't remember it and not do it right. So you don't get the results. When I was learning I made it complicated too. This got me nowhere and I was practicing daily for years. So if I didn't get it the average person will never get it.

    After watching so many videos on the “perfect” golf swing focusing on the everything physical while your videos have helped me so much more by showing the importance of the mental game of golf. Went to the range today and let my mind do the work. using my arms as hinges, loosening the body, keeping my head down.. don’t think of distance.. sure enough I was hitting bombs dead straight.

My son and I would step back take a deep breath change the swing thought followed by a smooth swing. The ball would just explode. Then we get cocky and try to kill it, only to be humbled again and repeat the process.

    Paul you are absolutely spot on about the situations that lead to hitting poor fairway woods.

    love your way of getting the point across ... normally would love hitting 5 and 3 wood off fairway ...it was my go to shot ... I have regressed to topping the shots and have lost mostly all of my confidence with the fairway woods even 4 utility ... is has to be from what you are saying ... after your thoughts remains to be seen ... Thank you .. loose and easy ..

    Thank you Paul, years ago I sold my Driver because I though i couldn’t swing it fast enough. Hmmm. Now I know that I don’t need to swing like I was taught many years ago. I have used a 2 and 3 wood to some erratic results. Now with your instructions I will practice the easy swing and should stop topping the ball. 😀😱👍

    • @paulwilsongolf
      @paulwilsongolf  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes, start getting a feel for what I teach. Turn your arms off in the downswing. You are not hitting or helping the ball in any way. Once you stop hitting you will stop looking to see what you hit. This will make you more consistent. Once you get a feel for it then you might want to start hitting driver again. czcams.com/video/wQgWZMLgC1Y/video.html these are a few basics you should be working on: Grip: czcams.com/video/jQZLp8bF-Ww/video.html

      Secure Grip: czcams.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/video.html
      Power the swing with the legs and hip not the hands and arms. I have tons of lower body tips now posted. Try this one. It's an easy way to get you hips moving: czcams.com/video/j1mS5Ku8Q10/video.html

    This was more of a mental lesson than swing mechanics. "The longest distance in golf is the six inches between your ears." I went through several brands of 3-woods before settling on a Callaway Razr Hawk. Less is more. It has saved my clunker drive many a time and I swing it easy, no easier. My partner will grab it and tap on the face to see what its made of. Thanks Paul!

    • @paulwilsongolf

      I would literally check those clubs out every time I wandered around the shop. They sat on that rack for years. The pro should have allowed people to tape them up and hit them. They would have seen great fairway woods shots instantly. Probably ended up in the junk yard. Not sure about stand up. I do say it like it is though which can be funny to most and a few thin skinned babies get turned off. If you can't handle me then your playing the wrong game.

  • @jpbernie72
    @jpbernie72 Před 3 lety

    Paul you are so right on the psychology of the fairway wood. I figured out my personal technique (which might work for others as well) is that I have to watch the ball as I’m hitting it. One time I had to carry the ball at least 170 yards over a large body of water. I thought well, I’m going to lose this ball or top it and it will dribble up to the pond (so I didn’t really care about the carry distance I just wanted to try it). I watched the ball, hit a good strike and couldn’t see it due to the sun angle. So, as I drove up I looked first on the close side of the pond and then on the far side of the pond and I still could not find my ball. I looked approximately 25 to 30 yards up the hill toward the hole and lo and behold there was my ball. I can’t remember what I did after that with the chip in put but I will never forget that clean three wood shot.
