Before Hitting Your Woods Just DO THIS For 5 Seconds

PGA instructor Danny Maude explains how to achieve consistent contact with fairway woods and hybrids. He demonstrates how proper shoulder rotation maintains arc depth to stop topping, and teaches the Prop Drill to eliminate swaying and place the bottom of the swing arc cleanly past the ball.

• Turn your shoulders on an incline (trail shoulder back, lead shoulder down) to maintain swing radius and avoid topping or fatting.
• Use the Prop Drill by setting your trail foot slightly back and flared open to anchor your pivot.
• Keep your head centered over the golf ball during the backswing to prevent swaying off the ball.
• Ensure proper ground interaction slightly ahead of the ball to deliver maximum loft and trajectory.
