  1. Mark good vid but lifting your left shoulder will tend for most golfers to
    top the ball . . the ball is 1.7″ .. would it not be better trying to
    sweep the ground . . driving your right shoulder through . . 

  2. Certainly not going to argue with a pro who is far better than I, but I
    could never hit a 3 wood off the deck until I moved it back from my left
    heel to roughly two balls ahead of center. Since then I am consistently
    hitting straight 200-220 yard shots. Maybe that’s just correctly for some
    other body alignment issue with me, but for those topping the ball I would
    suggest this.

  3. Mark, I’ve watched dozens of your videos, and learned TONS from you, and
    have never up till now taken issue with anything you said, but after 30
    years of golf I have to say I think you’re dead wrong about fairway
    woods… It is a ‘sweeping’ club… meant to be played off the deck. There
    actually is NO WAY to hit up on it and still contact the ball. The club
    isn’t designed that way. I think if you examined your swing with TrackMan,
    etc, you’d see that you’re not hitting up, but are neutral, or actually
    hitting down on the ball. Many players actually scuff the turf after
    striking the ball.
    The design of the club is the reason it’s used on the fairway turf, and
    that a driver is more difficult to hit off the deck.

  5. you should hit down with everything except putter and driver…not to sure
    why your saying to hit up with a three wood off the deck. Trackman and
    Flightscope have showed us otherwise. But good classic video. Cool to watch
    good youtubers old videos! Will enjoy doing this in a few years again to
    see how far you come!

  7. You DO NOT swing the same way as the driver. You DO NOT want to hit UP at
    it like a driver. The is ON THE TEE when you hit the driver which is why
    you want to hit up on it. A fairway wood you want to hit as squarely as
    possible so that you dont….wait for it…TOP IT. Fairway woods are
    notorious for topping the ball because idiots like this are telling you to
    HIT UP at the ball. You DONT want to line the ball up with you
    heel…that’s how you hit a driver. You want the ball midway between your
    heel and the middle of your stance. Dont hit down on it like an iron and
    dont hit UP at it like a driver. You also dont want to KILL it because you
    will almost always come up on the ball and top it. Take a nice easy swing
    and the ball will hit flat on the face. This is why the fairway wood,
    especially the 3 wood, is one of the most difficult hits in golf. But
    please, dont listen to this guy and HIT UP on the ball when it is on the
    ground….you will top it 99% of the time.

  10. Thanks Mark, really enjoy watching your videos and golf rounds with your
    friends.. Any chance you can show some of your swings in slo-mo? It would
    really help to see your full swing in slow motion in some cases..like this
    one.. Thanks, Cheers from Texas!

  12. For me personally I make good contact when I swing flatter, no squatting
    with the hips like you would a driver. I’ve seen people try to hit down on
    the ball with their wood like you would an iron. I swing flatter, that’s me
    personally.

  13. Good lesson – but if you take the time to prepare that lesson, do prepare
    the microphone for being out there in the storm (that’s how it sounds)!

  15. i have the same 3 wood. it is actually a pretty good club i may have my top
    once in a while but i mainly hit good shots. i would recommend it

  16. Mark I love your videos but you need to sort out your sound recording, the
    wind is just incredibly distracting. Just pay someone a tenner to be a
    boom boy for an hour, you need some wind protection.

  18. I’m gonna have to send an invoice through for my speakers… Jokes… but
    that wind noise is so easily solved at the source microphone!

  19. Great tip as always. I also have that same club I have the matching driver
    as well. Both are great clubs and yes gotta have a good lie to hit that
    club

  21. Mark, You are my favorite, but the sound on this video was bad, really
    bad….took away from what you were trying to communicate….a review
    before posting would be suggested……thanks for the tips…
