How can you get the most out of your fairway woods?
Golf Monthly shares essential tips to help golfers maximize distance and accuracy with their fairway woods off the turf. The guide covers correct ball position, maintaining swing width, and striking the ball with a shallow, sweeping impact angle.
Position the ball slightly forward of center in your stance, roughly two inches inside your lead heel.
Maintain a wide, low takeaway to promote a shallow sweeping arc into impact.
Brush the turf rather than taking a deep divot or trying to scoop the ball into the air.
Rotate fully into a complete finish to ensure solid contact and optimal launch height.
