a decent golfer told me a lot of years ago, on te backswing try to feel that you're loading the right thigh. First it stops you over-rotating and second it gives you the recoil to start your odwnswing. Still works for me and when I told a new golfing buddy that it fixed his sway motion immediately. Just a thought

My 3 wood is easily the worst club in my bag. I'm convinced it only works with witchcraft and a blood sacrifice. I'll take these tips to heart the next time I'm on the range. Thanks for the insight! Also: "Golf is the opposite of what makes sense." Ain't that the truth! 🤣

I too have offered sacrifices to the golf gods about my 3W. Still have the shovel!

I took my 3 wood out of my bag this year and added a wedge! Best decision I've made!

@@shmirginhymer1867 I have 4 and 5 hybrids in my bag, and I love them. A guy I was paired with in a tournament last week had a 3 hybrid that he swore by. I really want to give it a try.

You always give the best tips in a common since way. Thanks for your instruction on the swing.

Love the approach and your videos. I learn so much, please keep them coming.

Pure Gold! Thx

Great lesson! Thank you 👏

Nobody likes fatting a wood off the deck! Great Content!

excellent video

Thanks Matt love ya buddy

Mr. Short Game, all my strokes are gained from 150 in... My 3 wood is my favorite club...

I've taken all of my woods and long irons out of my bag and replaced them with 2-5 hybrids. I don't hit them perfect, but I hit them better than fairway woods and long irons. I'll definetely try some of the tips in this video though.

Matt, do the same concepta work off the tee.with the fairway wood?

Nice: full, well-balanced finish. Tells the story.

I had some of my best fairway woods last Sunday but my biggest struggles are fairways hybrids

My fairway woods are so inconsistent. Hit some great shots and then some god awful ones as well. Back to back par 5's on my course. First one I hooked it 60 yards left. Next hole, perfection.

Oh man..this might be the one MrShortGame video that I can’t relate to. I have the worst tendency of topping my 3-wood. Doesn’t matter if it’s teed up or on the ground. I hardly ever use my 3-wood because I’m so bad with it. But the reverse has actually served me well. I found out I was trying to hit my 3-wood like my driver and I kept hitting so up on the ball that it was being topped. I just kept saying to myself, “hit this like an iron” and it was the first time I ever hit my 3-wood with solid contact. So at least for me, I feel like hitting down on the ball somewhat has helped me

That comes from your swing bottoming out too far behind the ball.

This shallowing move could be used for all clubs?

Yes it's the waiter move, just don't overdo it.

3 wood off a tee, 5 wood off the turf was my formula for years. My new pxg 3 wood is 16° and way easier to hit off the turf. My advice is to get a 16 or 16.5 ° 3 wood.

Does the final tip with turning the hand / glove up apply to the driver as well?

Golf is very opposite of what makes sense….😂

Thanks…MSG…

My 3 wood is "the mistress". Hit it right and life is great. Hit it wrong and your hole life unravels.

True

Any opinion on wrist cupping, boss? Is it good, bad or irrelevant?

Clay Ballard is teaching everyone to hit down on the ball with fairway woods. It's hard to know who to believe.

Yesterday another KZread golfer says the exact opposite of this KZread golfer. I think my KZread handle name will be… “My Game Still Sucks!”

You get my thumb up, BUT: I learned a long time ago that if you teach someone, try to avoid showing what NOT to do. Always focus on what to do and how to do it.

The fact he can Create these mistakes on purposes is pretty impressive..

If you can learn to hit the mistake shots it teaches you how to feel where the club and head are in space and can actually teach you what to do and how to fix the mistake. Try it

I really hope this is offensive in someway but you always remind me of Captain Howard. “Remember your pressure points captain”.

I always take too many strokes on my 3 wood.

Taking a divot means hitting down on ball U said don’t hit down with woods Confused?

You have "stop this" on the points you want us to do

I'm sorry, but your third point seems to go against the popular method of keeping the club face closed . That is the common idea of rolling the lead wrist toward the ground on the downswing. Doesn't rotating the back of your lead hand toward the sky open the club face?

BTW what ever happened to your goal of becoming a pro?

Damn.. don't beg 1st. ..I ain't even gonna watch.....
