HOW TO HIT FAIRWAY WOODS CONSISTENTLY

In this tip, I teach you how to hit your fairway woods consistently. So many beginners and even experienced golfers end up topping their fairway woods or just don't hit them solidly. There's a reason for that which I share with you in this tip.
Free samples from my Body Swing book and video series here: bodyswing.com/...
A lot of hitting your fairway woods better comes down to how you think. That's right. In order to hit these clubs solid and consistently you need to think of the right thing. Once you have the right thoughts it's about technique. This doesn't mean you have to change your swing. You just need to do this one thing that will allow you to hit your fairway woods higher and more solidly.
So watch this tip and try it out the next time you're at the range. If so, I guarantee you will learn how to hit your fairway woods consistently long and straight.

[@GFDthatsMe]

I think the woods you are referring to are actually the top flite intimidator titanium 400 that are based on the Lee Trevino prototype Bondo Bounce. Pretty cool none the less

[@GFDthatsMe]

If your sure they are Spalding, they may be the Spalding canon

[@garytrebels7679]

Or the Taylor Made SIM?

[@badarmunir6963]

I have practically tried his methods and improved my game in a big way. His techniques are easy and practical. Three cheers to him. Badar

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Just see it and start thinking differently. Simple is the key word.

[@bradtilitzky7146]

i agree, i think thats why he gets some of the flack he does other people like to make it more difficult than it is .

[@joelpolanco731]

Agreed.

[@ChampagneWithComics]

Best golf teacher by far. I’m a beginner so watched many videos and read some amazing books.. but Paul is def the 🐐

[@ronaldjohnson380]

I actually executed this loose swing thought yesterday at the range employing a smooth easy swing with my fairway wood and I was hitting phenomenal shots. Audience it really works! Thanks again Paul.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure does. Just got to try it.

[@moeday99]

Thanks, Paul. Ironically, I started doing this on my own with my 3 and 4 hybrid during the last round I played. I can’t tell you how unbelievably well this worked out for me. Now that you’ve said it, it’ll be stuck in my game forever. An 80% swing with clean club face contact is way better than a topped 1000% effort swing.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. These clubs are so easy to hit but you need to not hit. The total opposite of what everyone wants to do. Stick with it and this will dramatically change your game. Good job.

[@MarkG_603]

So flippin' true. One more piece to your puzzle Paul is that taking the thought of LESS distance with a fairway wood will almost always result in hitting the ball in the sweet spot, so the distance will actually occur. Keep preaching, some of us are receiving your message! 😉

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. I prove this all the time. Literally with about 4 balls they are hitting it amazingly well. Previous to that they couldn't get it airborne.

[@davidquiroz8177]

I’ve seen so many tips from different Pro’s. You’re the only one I have subscribed to. You make it simple for us noobs to understand. Others show but you show and also explain. Thank you

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks for the sub! Simple is the key for sure. You actually need to understand it and try it. Too complicated and you probably won't remember it and not do it right. So you don't get the results. When I was learning I made it complicated too. This got me nowhere and I was practicing daily for years. So if I didn't get it the average person will never get it.

[@mdkhatsun]

This whole loose arms chat relating to where the swing is at is widest is so spot on! I rocked up for golf yesterday, Range is shut so cant hit any looseners stand on the tee and bang nail one as far off the toe as you can go without missing the face. Totally felt tight at impact. Reloaded felt the arms stretch out and pow! Ripped one so pure I didn’t feel it at impact. My driver is going straighter than ever!! Big thanks to your dedication to this channel it’s been a big help over the years

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Great feeling when you know you are going to hit it pure. Keep up the good work.

[@mitchellbonomi9309]

I used to be a topper or duffer of the fairway wood, last week I tried hitting the fairway wood at the range, slowed down my swing tucked my right elbow, and damn 200yrds, I'm 62 just getting back into the game after 26 yrs dormant, finally I have another club in the bag..

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. So simple to hit these shots solidly. Glad you tried it and are seeing results. Keep at it. I have taught many people in your situation who took a break and are getting back into it. Anyone in this situtation will hit with their arms when they get back into golf. This is due to human nature. I talk about it in this tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0

[@ChampagneWithComics]

After watching so many videos on the “perfect” golf swing focusing on the everything physical while your videos have helped me so much more by showing the importance of the mental game of golf. Went to the range today and let my mind do the work. using my arms as hinges, loosening the body, keeping my head down.. don’t think of distance.. sure enough I was hitting bombs dead straight.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Hitting is the problem. Stay focused.

[@rao77]

Best tip ever on hitting woods. I applied this on course today and executed perfectly not even a single top.or fat with my 3 or 4 wood. Broke 100 for the first time (96) 👍

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks. It's a great feeling when you start to get it.

[@Peter-we8iw]

Paul your instruction is so practical. Don't let your emotion and ego get in the way of the golf swing

Thanks. Everyone wants to try an be the hero especially when playing with friends. I need you to think the opposite. Baby it for a while. Get it. Then be the hero later.

[@ethanpoytress4363]

This guy just absolutely knows what he's talking about. Thanks Paul. Keep the good stuff coming. ⛳

Well, I have been teaching the same thing for 29 years. Just experience and trying to figure out "why" things happen. If you know why then you can fix it.

[@marylodato2389]

Great video. Wish I where a few years younger. ( many years younger) Will keep trying. Thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thnaks so much. I have heard that one many times over the years. The effortless swing I teach is for life so you have plenty of time.

[@srb2897]

Just watched this again, every word you say Paul is so true. Golf is a game played in your head, and you lay out the thought process so clearly and the cure. Many thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you so much. I just want people to understand it. If you understand it you will do it.

[@jpbernie72]

Paul you are so right on the psychology of the fairway wood. I figured out my personal technique (which might work for others as well) is that I have to watch the ball as I’m hitting it. One time I had to carry the ball at least 170 yards over a large body of water. I thought well, I’m going to lose this ball or top it and it will dribble up to the pond (so I didn’t really care about the carry distance I just wanted to try it). I watched the ball, hit a good strike and couldn’t see it due to the sun angle. So, as I drove up I looked first on the close side of the pond and then on the far side of the pond and I still could not find my ball. I looked approximately 25 to 30 yards up the hill toward the hole and lo and behold there was my ball. I can’t remember what I did after that with the chip in put but I will never forget that clean three wood shot.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, this can happen especially when you are learning it.

[@wilkiecoco]

I'm literally talking to the screen and agreeing with you as you so perfectly describe my issues to me. Thanks so much!!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Too funny. I know what you are going to so before you even do it. Now let's fix it.

This is huge and few talk about it. Get this and your whole world changes.

[@alvinmariteragi9349]

@@paulwilsongolf Well our world changed today on the range. Every fat, thin, skull, chunk, slice, dribble, shot was directly related to swing thoughts of trying to just kill it. My son and I would step back take a deep breath change the swing thought followed by a smooth swing. The ball would just explode. Then we get cocky and try to kill it, only to be humbled again and repeat the process.

[@littlejonnywonny6547]

The first sentance is absolutely true . thanks paul .

[@paulwilsongolf]

It sure is. I have helped countless people hit perfect fairway woods. It is usually on ball 4 after I explain what to do. Previously they couldn't get it airborne. Glad you see it. Keep this in mind whenever you have hit them in the future.

[@OnkelDude]

This was more of a mental lesson than swing mechanics. "The longest distance in golf is the six inches between your ears." I went through several brands of 3-woods before settling on a Callaway Razr Hawk. Less is more. It has saved my clunker drive many a time and I swing it easy, no easier. My partner will grab it and tap on the face to see what its made of. Thanks Paul!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. A mental lesson that no one has even mentioned. I've always ask myself "why." There has to be a reason for swing flaws and bad shots. Once you know that you can fix it.

[@davidnorris8146]

Another great video Paul I've been practicing your swing and hip movements and I'm hitting the ball so much I'm 62 yrs young so not got the same movement but watching these vids I'm getting there I've dropped from 26 hcp to 21hcp in just over month and won the July medal so thanks again Paul

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Just keep at it. Try to not work on too many things at once. Main things would be loose wrists so they hinge and rehinge. Not trying to hit with your arms. Using the legs and hips for power. Stay focused.

[@davidnorris8146]

Paul Wilson Golf thanks Paul will do yea just working on them hips be like Elvis before long 😂👍🏌

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. He would have hit it a mile.

[@markgarabedian282]

Paul, I have never seen a golf teacher who emphasized eliminating tension in the golf-swing as you have. As a self-professed "head-case", I unfortunately tend to get MORE tense rather than the opposite as a round of golf progresses; your teaching style and demeanor always give me hope. Breeeeeathe....

[@paulwilsongolf]

And I will keep emphasizing it. I know what it did for my swing many years ago and the tens of thousands of student I have taught. No way would I teach anything different. Just got to understand "why" then do a few changes and gets used to some new feelings. Once you do, you will never look back. You can do it!

[@njohnson2895]

Thanks for stating the truth. Better to try to salvage score with a putt versus hitting a 3 wood from too far away!!! Thanks for the honesty and practical advise!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. People just need to understand it. Hit great shots and you get confident then you can increase the speed if necessary.

[@richardbolen1929]

Thank you Paul, years ago I sold my Driver because I though i couldn’t swing it fast enough. Hmmm. Now I know that I don’t need to swing like I was taught many years ago. I have used a 2 and 3 wood to some erratic results. Now with your instructions I will practice the easy swing and should stop topping the ball. 😀😱👍

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, start getting a feel for what I teach. Turn your arms off in the downswing. You are not hitting or helping the ball in any way. Once you stop hitting you will stop looking to see what you hit. This will make you more consistent. Once you get a feel for it then you might want to start hitting driver again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYLKiI2Dgcx2Z7s these are a few basics you should be working on: Grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK9faNul6tgjdk Hinge Rehinge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvIhaSZr5ejo6c Secure Grip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmuZHqZqdCtbaM Power the swing with the legs and hip not the hands and arms.

Boy you hit the nail on the head. Exactly what happened to me today. As we rarely play courses that need fairway woods, but did today. No decent shots after good drives. Pretty much got the driver figured out thanks to Paul. On to this challenge.

[@paulwilsongolf]

This is an important shot that can make you a hero or a zero. Try to remember this every time you have this shot into the future.

[@MrKallen49]

Paul you are absolutely spot on about the situations that lead to hitting poor fairway woods. My best shots from 200+ yards out have come from a more effortless swing with less emphasis on nailing a heroic shot to save par. Have recently acquired a new 7 wood and I am struggling a bit off the deck - I will use your advice and see if I can't hit it better. Thanks!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Yes, try this for the 7 wood. That is a pretty easy club to hit. You shouldn't have a problem.

[@MrKallen49]

This is so funny - the mental side of golf. Many times one tenses up in order to nail a better second shot to make up for a poor drive. Thanks for the great reminder.

Stick with this. The Spalding clubs is great analogy. This is very good. See it out.

[@paulwilsongolf]

For sure. I literally get people hitting it amazing in 6 balls. I tell them that before we start. They will go from topping to perfect in 6 balls or less and they do. I knew there was something about those Spalding clubs being that weird looking. Club manufacturers will stop at nothing to sell clubs.

[@mbsoldschool]

Thanks Paul, I actually stopped using the 3W off the fairway because of many types of mishits. So I use my 3H instead, much better result, even when I did actually hit the 3W great, my 3H goes further for some reason. I will try again & see how I go.

[@paulwilsongolf]

I would literally check those clubs out every time I wandered around the shop. They sat on that rack for years. The pro should have allowed people to tape them up and hit them. They would have seen great fairway woods shots instantly. Probably ended up in the junk yard. Not sure about stand up. I do say it like it is though which can be funny to most and a few thin skinned babies get turned off. If you can't handle me then your playing the wrong game.

[@leonrice1824]

Paul- Thanks for the great tip. For an older golfer of 68 years old, please keep those tips coming. Besides topping shots, can you help me with popping up tee shots with my driver. Thanks as always.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks. Skying is you getting your head ahead of the ball in the downswing. This is due to hitting with your arms. I still remember the last ball I ever skyed. After that, I kept my head behind the ball as I hit the ball. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKulmJyLnd6leJY

[@legend9018]

The “distance thought” really rings true. I normally hit my 6 iron around 175-180 yards however when I hit my 6 iron as a position play on a par 5 when I know I can’t get there in 2 or off the tee on a short/tight par 4 and I have no specific “distance” in mind I hit it 190+ yards. I know this because I use the Arccos system to track all my yardages for all my shots. Don’t try and hit it far, try and hit it well and the far will take care of itself 🏌🏻‍♂️ Something that has helped my fairway wood and hybrid ball striking is actually trying to hit those clubs like an iron. I see a lot of players (including myself) who cant decide if they want to sweep it or take a divot. Either way, make a decision and commit to it.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Yes, you need to be 100%. Sweep or divot is an arms thought though. So stop thinking like that. Fairway woods there is typically no divot. Hybrids might be a tiny divot but in no way would I be thinking of taking one. Change your thought and stop worrying about impact.

solid advice ...I might add ...1. Be sure to shift weight onto lead heel in transition ...and 2. Maintain the same angle of arms to shaft (as established at address) at impact

[@paulwilsongolf]

Shifting would be a thought but that will get too many thoughts just a the moment. Think of the things in the video. Hit some great shots. Then you get confidence knowing you can do it. Then you can work on other things. Too many thought and you will never get it so you think you can't do it. Relaxing the arms alone and not having distance thoughts will get anyone hitting amazing shots.

[@williamjacobsen551]

This one felt directed at me personally. Haha! So good. Definitely taking this to heart.

[@paulwilsongolf]

These shots are so simple to fix. I have helped countless people pure 3 woods off the deck who previously couldn't get it airborne. This is all of 5 mins to perfection. Just follow the tip.

[@williamjacobsen551]

@@paulwilsongolf you make it so simple that it almost seems surreal. I have been practicing your effortless approach now for about a week and its just unreal. Truly feels like doing nothing. Thanks for everything Paul!

[@cherylreid4249]

Can't wait to try it

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Do this and you will hit them perfectly. I prove this all of the time. Usually it takes me 4 balls to fix the person.

[@grahamrichardson7851]

This is me all over quite often a distance thought when playing with bigger hitters.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Right. You need to play your own game. Beat them with consistency.

[@hlubmos2chah945]

Spot on! Will try to remember that. Hope to solve my inconsistent 3 or 5 FW woes. Thanks.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Perfect! So easy once you understand it.

[@user-tx6ds6yd5d]

That's another problem solved hopefully Paul, I'll be trying this as soon as possible. Thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Easy to fix. Literally within 6 balls you will be hitting perfect fairway woods. I prove this all of the time. From topping to perfect 6 shots max.

[@rballersUnited]

Another easy to understand concept. Paul you have a way of communicating ideas that are easy to incorporate. Just wanted to say thanks again for the tip of having a tee six inches back and a little inside to use as an aim point to fix the over the top swing. Practicing this has resulted in the greatest improvement in my swing, ever!

[@paulwilsongolf]

I appreciate that! Keep in mind this is a quick fix (that works) you should also watch these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJXTmaeeeLZsjK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOoXpuwib2ahNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJSzfpJ8iNR7hK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ3Jl32wl9ieo68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pme8iJx4hdOEp6s

I'll watch my friends top their fairway wood all day

[@paulwilsongolf]

So easy to fit. Most students who come to me top it too. I explain it and in usually 4 balls they are killing it. I have proven this countless times. Now you know it stay focused and you will be hitting perfect fairway woods in minutes. This will save you a ton of shots.

Psychological plumbing of the mind. You are the best plumber

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thanks so much.

[@CruceEntertainment]

I’ve learned to hit my fairway woods solid by swinging more vertically. The temptation is to sweep at them because they are long clubs and resemble a driver. Instead these are hit off the ground. You cannot sweep at these shots. It will also help to choke up a bit in those long fairway woods and long irons so you can be more precise with them.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, I would disagree with this. In no way would I be swinging vertically with them. Maybe you were just swinging them too flat so a feeling of more vertical worked for you.

[@willismksr66]

Really enjoy your content Paul! I look forward to reviewing more and more of your videos, so I can improve my golf game.

[@Loccutus28]

I think I have seen that Spaulding club at Goodwill. It does have that "bulge on it." It is a very heavy club. Thank you for your video, Paul. I have a good friend I have played golf with for the last six years. He can really hit a long drive, but when it comes to fairway woods, he tops it to often. I hope this will help.

[@paulwilsongolf]

It was a long time ago. Probably 30 years old. Glad you liked the tip. Let him know. It's not fun watching other people struggle.

[@antonakisdemetriou4866]

A good sense making tip Paul and I must admit I'm guilty of that too, being tense and trying to hit it as hard as I can and looking up

[@paulwilsongolf]

Absolutely. So many people do this. Let it go.

[@Subri1211]

I just figured out my mistake; thank you Guru 🙂

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. I love it when people get it on their own. Isn't that the whole point. You need to do it without me.

[@zachbrown2531]

Gnarky 3 wood strike!!!!! So good man 👌

[@paulwilsongolf]

Three woods and even driver off the deck is a breeze. Just need to let it go. Try to hit and you will never get it airborne.

[@eggsmann594]

Paul knows the ' why's ' and ' what you should do's to fix it ' more than anyone else.

[@paulwilsongolf]

That is from standing on a range for 30+ years. There has to be a reason for this stuff. Know that and you can easily fix it. I am never guessing.

[@2hrdgolf234]

Great tip! Just tried it as your tip and got it. It really helps me greatly!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Glad you tried it and are seeing results. Hitting great fairway woods are important shots to play your best golf.

[@2hrdgolf234]

@@paulwilsongolf thanks 🙏! Paul Happy 4th of July!🥳🎊🎉🪄🪅

[@choyancheng5489]

The key component for an air borne 3 wood is a very relaxed and lazy hand. Let the body does the work. I seldom use the 3wood and take 2 hybrid. Now both are my options.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Lazy hands would be allowing them to extend which is what this tip is all about. So yes, this is a good thought. This will be a huge addition to your game.

[@taufikarifinofficial6137]

Thank for the tips Paul...this is really my problem...

[@paulwilsongolf]

Not anymore. This is so simple. Follow this tip and within a few balls you will be killing it. I prove this to people who come for lessons saying they can't hit fairway woods constantly. You've got this.

[@MontanaBallistics]

I don’t top the ball, ever! But every single time (not once has it ever gone any different) I hit a 120-150 yard grounder! Every time! It drives (no pun intended) me crazy! I’m looking to get 180-200 yards off of the ground. But for the life of me I can’t! It’s never once gone airborne! Of the couple thousand practice shots I’ve taken with a 3w. All grounders! So I say screw it, when I’m 240 yards out on the fairway, I’ll grab my 5i (I don’t have a 4i) and shwack it as hard as I can! It’ll fly about 150-160 yards and it’ll go straight 85% of the time. But if I could learn how to use a 3w or 5w correctly, I’d have a far lower handicap!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Try the tip. I have fixed countless people who couldn't get it airborne. I usually tell them they will hit perfect shots in 6 balls and they do. So listen to what I say in the tip and try it. Then let me know.

[@Chowyanh]

You are truly a good coach. I wish there was a way we could get you to Tanzania for a golf clinic. Everything you coach l try it out and it helps my game.
