The Ingredient Needed to Hit - FAIRWAY WOODS / HYBRIDS / LONG IRONS
Warren Bennett explains how to achieve consistent contact with fairway woods, hybrids, and long irons by maintaining a level head and 'staying down' through impact. Using the 'Two-Tee' and 'Drag' drills, Bennett demonstrates how to avoid the common mistake of lifting up too early, ensuring the club stays low through the hitting zone for natural loft.
Fairway woods require a slight downward or 'sweeping' strike, unlike the upward hit of a driver.
Staying level with your head and upper body is the 'biggest secret' to consistent wood and hybrid play.
The 'Drag Exercise' helps golfers feel how long the club should stay low to the ground after impact.
Visualizing a second ball ahead of your actual ball encourages proper extension and prevents 'topping' the shot.
Using these techniques allows the club's natural loft to work, rather than trying to manually lift the ball.
