Hi coach, that's probably some of the best explanations of 3 wood striking of different lies I've heard in a while. Great vid.

I guessed it! When I was 10-15 hcp I was using fairway woods ALL THE TIME and consequently got pretty good with them, particularly 5-wood. As I got better and longer I've used them less and less. Now, at a 4hcp, I usually use fairways woods 3-5 times per round, as opposed to 8-10 times a round before. Guess I gotta practice with them more! Good video, Coach!

@CoachLockey 7 ай бұрын

Practice them more but keep in mind when you hit it longer it means you are going for the green from a greater distance with these clubs which means your proximity will be higher which means less GIR% most likely!...... so practice 100% but concentrate on dispersion I would suggest 👍

I top my 3-wood. It usually happens on the back 9. I've learned that that means I've gotten a little tired so I'm not coming off my back foot as quickly as the first few holes. Because I'm not too bright, it always takes me 2 or 3 tops before I remember and fix it.

@CoachLockey 7 ай бұрын

weight on back foot means low point too far back which will encourage a top. two options, react quicker like you say or ball position goes back on the back nine maybe?

4:36 Well, I was having a hunch on where the number would fall into two-digits, but the question is, how much does the carry distance and hole distance have effected. Obviously the lowest handicappers hardly ever use the 3-wood, it is even a 5-wood most occations on par-5:s for them. If you only have 1-3 shots into the green a round with your 3-wood it is unlikely to have 1/3 succes rate, but on the other hand, if you manage, it would be 30+ per cent respectedly by just one hit per round.

I’m totally rocking an old M2 HL 3-wood. Loving that I can launch it considering how difficult it is for me to hit something 15 degrees off the deck with any hope of having height to land. When I changed my ball position to be closer to where I would my 3 iron (when I had it in the bag) I started crushing it whenever I was in the fairway. My 5 wood is practically in the middle of my stance and probably my favorite “bash” club in my bag…which is why I have my Rocky 4 boxing glove head cover on it. Great tips Coach!!!

@CoachLockey 7 ай бұрын

Good stuff Solomon, Im guessing your GIR stat for fairway woods is at least 50%+ with doing all the info in the video already...... playaaaaa 😉

@SolomonLi 7 ай бұрын

@@CoachLockey It is... the 20% of the time I hit it into a green. LOL. 😋 Actually…on tight tee shots the old 5W is definitely the play…and it is mostly stripped right down the throat about 50% of the time. I need to start really keeping those stats with this club to see.😉

@eJunkee 7 ай бұрын

I would always hit a 3 wood into green (as long as there aren't water next to green or some crazy danger) not to land on the green but because I am so comfortable chipping, I pretty much garrentee a birdie.

@jamesbaine580 6 ай бұрын

I don't carry a driver because I am not efficient or accurate enough so my 3 wood is basically my driver off the tea and 5 wood is my fairway wood off the ground. I wish someone of your caliber could teach me how to hit driver, I'm pretty sure I could approach 280yds or more if I could properly hit driver

No idea what it's called but it's miss-hit and rolls 20-30 yards in front of me. When I do hit it well, it starts straight and shoots off left. Brilliant explanation thanks Lockey!

I struggle with hitting the ball off the bottom groove when the ball sits down or it is on a downslope, as I usually sweep the ball. Interesting video & thinking about it a shot I need to practice before we move into winter when I use it more. Thanks Coach.

@CoachLockey 7 ай бұрын

Definitely think about moving that ball back a tad and find out if it helps strike, then find out your patterns from there.

Love it! I learnt my lesson not taking a closer look at my lie last fall in the final of a series of tournaments at my club. The ball was sitting down a little in the slight rough, or so I thought. It was actually burried about 1/5th in its own pitch mark. I tried hitting a low cut under some overhanging trees with my hybrid, where I’d normally hit a high cut. Anyway, I ended up topping my ball and burring it about 3 inches into the ground. I had to declare unplayable and take a drop. Had I taken a better look, I’d taken a hard swing with my 5 or 6 iron and just forwarded the ball. Anyway, I came in second, 2 strokes behind the winner 😱😢

Ideal timing but I don't remember telling you that I'm going for a club fitting for a three wood tomorrow as my Epic is worn out through over use. I guessed the hcp as that is where I am & I use my three wood a lot, higher hcp's are probably farther back overall & lower hcp's are a lot closer generally using lower clubs to the green as they hit it farther with everything.

I’m +1.8 up with 3 wood off the deck ( floor). Makes impact chaotic. Usually lay up because of that.

If I had a lie like your first ball,definitely would hit 3 hybrid. Currently have benched the 3 wood in favor of 5 wood ( more loft) Cheers!!

@Gigity1107 7 ай бұрын

Funnily enough. I have back to back par 5s on my course. They're the only time the 3 wood comes out and invariably results in a top. Its a dangerous shot on the first par 5 though as theres a pond left and OB right of the green. So often, with any kind of imperfect lie, a layup is the best option.

@CoachLockey 7 ай бұрын

Always try and progress your ball as far up as you can, depending on your dispersion with each club will tell you which club to take

@PetSKi67 7 ай бұрын

It’s not only the fwy-woods, but all clubs the lie assesment and assimilating to the lie is a necessity.

My 3 woods vary from "too splashy" to thin. It's a center of gravity issue?

splashy as in fat? if so fat and thin are probably the same problem, low point too far back.

The only reason alignment sticks were invented, was to stick out of your bag and keep your head covers clean 😊. Love a low hook with fairway wood. My longest fairway wood is now a 7 wood 😂
