Beginners Guide To Hitting Your Fairway Woods

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hi everyone, what other videos would you like to see?

[@Mark-bj9gt]

Very informative video. It's funny I see a lot of advice online to NOT hit down with your woods, but I know to listen to Giles lol

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I don’t know if a single good golfer who hit up on their 3 Wood

[@stephenbrown1077]

Thankyou Giles, I've taken your advice on board. It makes for a more repeatable swing from ground to tee. It's ball positioning that I struggle with, so hopefully, the advice given I'm hoping will allow me to get this part right ✅️ I use woods a lot. I use two 5 woods, 18 & 21 degrees, a 9 wood and hybrid. My 7 iron is my biggest iron, but it all makes for a more enjoyable round.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

That's great to hear! Practice makes perfect and it sounds like you're on the right track

[@dakotalake9084]

Another great video, thank you. I am going try this position tomorrow morning! I tee my wood much higher so will try teeing it lower.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Good luck!

Great swing

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you

All excellent points Giles on hitting the 3 wood! I enjoy the 3 wood shot and I do try to keep my swing in tempo, have speed in my swing, and hit down on the ball, with weight forward on its completion Sometime, I don't get off my right side completely and a thin shot is the result. Well Done As Always Giles!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Sounds like you’re working on the right things!

Great tips, I was hitting it like my irons but standing to close to to the ball, I moved back like my driver but swinging down like my irons, like you have shown with much better results.This was with my five wood.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Good stuff! Sounds like you’re figuring it out

[@markseymour940]

Giles, you give concise info and no long winded explanations. How does poor posture at address affect ball contact and swing balance

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Check out my last video but it is crucial

[@ronharrington8659]

Excellent drill and explanation Giles.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you Ron

[@johnstarkey8126]

Giles could you recommend a neutral faced 3 and 5 wood I just can't get my head around the offset clubs

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hmm I personally would just go try some. I wouldn’t say there is a clear leader

[@grandpagolf]

Would you give the same advice when it comes to hitting with a 5-, 7- or 9- wood from the deck?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes it’s the same

[@garygill1211]

How about a pitching video. The 60 yd pitch and stop and check type?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Will do. Amateurs are definitely obsessed with spin 😂

[@mikewilliams1479]

Please note: if you play a mini driver the concept is the same. Nice numbers BTW

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you
