CRUSH YOUR 3 WOOD FROM THE FAIRWAY EVERY TIME! 

Q.) What fairway woods do you play? If you found this video helpful *SHARE* with a friend👍

You lost me at the part where you said I found the middle of the fairway. xD

I've found that I can throw my 3 wood alot further than what I can hit a ball with it. 😠😠

My 3 wood is my rescue club...when I need to rescue myself from the wrong fairway.

Wow watched this video. Went to the range the next day and had instant success. 3 wood carries 215 straight 5 wood reaches 215 Hybrid 5 goes 190-200 All reasonably straight! Incredible I would leave these clubs at home and just hit 4 irons it got so bad! Furthermore... I need two mini steps back with my right foot. So 1 step I get a nice fade... 3 steps nice little draw. 6 mins and Rick cured my life long woods woes :-)

This is about the 5th rick shiels video about "smashing 3 wood" I've seen and yet I'm still topping it 100 yards along the ground. Stupid game, why do I love it

Thanks for your videos Rick. Got back to golf this year and your videos are really helping my game. I use an RBZ 3 wood with a stiff shaft and really nailing it now thanks to your tips!

Thank you for this stunning video! You are my hero, Rick! I was on the DR struggling with my fairway woods today... then watched this video... and after I really crushed almost every ball off the turf! THANK YOU! Looking forward to my next round!

Rick , Love your tips ! Your simple and easy to follow and you don't over complicate it . I currently have a new Titleist TS 2 16 degree stiff shaft . that replaced my Titleist PT that I carried for years. Thank You for your time !

Just went to my local range and with your tips hit my fairway woods so much more consistent. Felt really good. Love the channel. Keep it up.

Great content as expected, your videos keep getting better and better, thank you so much. Using a Callaway rogue 3 wood, Aldila Synergy 60g stiff shaft and You are right, absolutely love crushing it on a par 5 off the deck. It’s certainly my favorite shot and club.

Great video Rick. I was able to put this tip in play soon after viewing and could see immediate results. You have a great way of explaining and teaching. Keep up the good work.

Great instructional videos that are short sharp and to the point. Great in helping me improving my game in all areas. Tried other video options but most turn me off as they tend to lose my concentration as they are so long winded. Your method of simple tips allow me to go away and practice and implement them in mu game and straight onto the next tutorial. Thanks for your help.

Now THAT is what I'm talking about Rick! Nice review mate, and a great reminder for me.. ball closer to the middle.

Rick is so easy to understand certainly improved my golf.keep watching guys and girls.

I love your teaching style :P It just suits me well, I'll be trying this out today! Thank you Sir Shiels.

Love your coaching tips - logical and simple!

Callaway Rouge 3 wood ! Fantastic club !

Love the videos Rick. Keep them coming. I've really got into golf over the last 6 months and your channel has become my favourite. I've dropped over 20 shots over 18 holes and on the weekend I cracked under 100 shooting a 95 on a par 68 course. Keep up the good work.

Rick I appreciate your videos and love your channel. I am a subscriber and am addicted to your channel as well. I’ve just started playing again after about 15 years and it’s only because my oldest son took the game up last year. Just these past few months he has gotten me back onto the course and I was so rusty and out of golf shape it was ridiculous. He introduced me to your channel and I’ve watched your tips on breaking 100 and it changed my mindset and I did set that as a goal. 20 years ago I could shoot in the 80’s but I was so far off that I was playing horrible and it was a little frustrating but after few weeks I broke 100 and now am on the verge of breaking 90 and it was just from watching your tips and videos. I struggle and have always struggled with my fairway woods but I’m going to try your tips. I’ve never had golf lessons and was always self taught but the power of RU-vid is tremendous. Thanks and keep the vids coming. I’ve fell in love with the game again and have been upgrading my clubs after over 20 years thanks to you!

Thanks for your tip Rick. This one has helped me a lot. I've actually tried hitting the ball off the deck from the tee box a few times now Twice now I've driven the green on a 282 yards par 4 with a Taylormade V Steel 3 wood. Using the same tip, I now consistently hit my 3 hybrid off the fairway for about 260 yards on really long par 5. I've got the long game more or less under control now. I just need the work on my short game. I'll keep watching your vids. Thanks again.

I’m a new golfer who started a year ago (for my birthday I got a starter set of clubs-Wilson Ultra)Just recently I got a new ,custom made, set of TaylorMade Sim Max irons. I am still looking to get some different woods and a driver. Currently I still have my starter 3 Wood.

His videos are just getting better and better. It's the manner in which you are explaining and the detail is absolutely great. I hope you will keep it up and of course you have a wonderful swing. Looking forward to digging through more of your videos.

Thank you so much Rick !! I just top the 3 wood on the tee off this afternoon. And your video saves me. Now I know that’s a big difference between tee off and fairway with 3 wood. Thanks again.

Thanks Rick.. Great vid..I am playing off 7.2 and will put your method to practice. I have recently strengthened my grip with a 3 wood and it seems to be working well. Getting about 220 meters with a solid hit. I also recently put a Callaway Rogue Pro 3 iron in my bag and it is great off the fairway and tee. I have now dropped my 2 rescues and a 5 wood in favor of the 3 iron and a 50 deg gap wedge. My target is a handicap of 3 this year, and i think it is possible with a positive and dedicated practice routine. Well done and thanks again..

Thanks for these tips. I struggle off tight lies with my M3 3 wood so usually use my M4 number 3 rescue instead so I'll give this a try, though the course I play has very few flat lies and normally the ball is either above or below my feet, often on an uphill or downhill too, the worst seeming to be ball below my feet with also a downhill lie so if you could do a follow on for those situations that would be great

Rick, thank you. I never hit my woods, but I played them today after watching this video and just crushed my 3 wood straight all day!

Watch all your videos and your instruction has helped my game tremendously. I have a pga pro here in butler pa but go to your videos for everything else. I particularly used your iron vs iron videos before I got fitted about a month ago. Great job Sir,,, keep the great videos Jim Welty

I started watching these videos a few weeks ago and I've combed over both Rick Shiels' videos on how to hit your driver and irons and was hoping I'd find one on how properly hit your fairway woods. I used to shoot mid 70s in high school consistently but my swing changed when I started going to the gym and playing less consistently mostly due to work and focusing more on fishing. All of these videos were extremely helpful. Went to the range a few times with my kids last week and I was consistently bombing drives, making good contact with my irons and hitting nice little draws like I used to. Set to play around with some co-workers in the next week and for the first time in a while I'm really excited to see what I can do. Love the vids.

I have always struggled to use my 3wood from the fairway. I watched this video and headed to the driving range not expecting much gains. How wrong I was...... so wrong. We have toptrace at our local range, I went from not hitting well to consistently hitting 240 yards. From the low cut on the mat. Granted not the fairway on a course. But my 3wood has become my new favourite club at the range. I am losing the ball to the right 20/25yards. What can b done to correct this? A top golf channel which I will be subbing and noting. Look forward to watching pass content and future videos. Cheers.

I can't believe how much my consistency changed after just watching one of your videos...I was nailing my drives yesterday changed my entire swing. Now I am watching this to improve in the fairways. Thank you

Great video Rick! Currently have a callaway xr 16 pro 14*

Love how he assumes I need a fairwood on a par 4/5 ... I’m here to hit it on a par 3 😭😂

When you crush a 3 wood off the deck there's no better feeling in any other golf shot.

Just picked up an M3 driver and 3 Wood. Really like them so far. Great tip on hitting fairway woods Rick! Ty !!

Just saw this one. This makes so much sense. Can’t wait to use this

I still have the Taylor made burner

Callaway in the bag, love my 3 wood off the tee, scared to use it off the floor but I'll give it a try next round I play, cheers Rick

Thanks Rick for the tips on the 3 wood. It really helped. Cheers

Thanks for the video! I'm currently carrying a Callaway Epic Max that replaces a Founder's Club 3W that started to fall apart inside the head. I'm getting the same results out of the switch, with the same club head speed and the same distance, but a more pronounced fade. I've been replacing half my irons with fairway woods, and I'm much more comfortable with Dr, 3W, 5W, 9W, and 11W, with 6789PS, so I've gotten fairly acclimated to woods off the deck. I like the feel and response of the Epic Max, but I have some work to do with it to get the same straight shots I was getting with the Founder's Club 3W.

This tip made a big difference in my round today, I was hitting my fairway woods solid, long and straight! Thank you!

Honestly, this guide is soo good. My 3 wood has always been my "magic club" its my dad's old steel shaft 3 wood. I think its a Jack Nicklaus AirMax. I dont even carry my driver anymore as its a cheap one and all I do is slice it. Ive hit that 3 wood 250-260 on a good day.

This helped so so so much!!! Could barely ever hit a 3 wood before and now I'm getting it consistent all the time!!

Moving with the golf shot as u move toward the left side is key. I generally transition as the clubhead moves downward and time the release/extension point. For me, the Details I picked up in this video are: 1. The right elbow stays connected and only separates naturally, once it reaches the top of the backswing then traces the path back to the slot.. 2. The right arm is still slightly flexed at impact and extends just past the ball to the divot point as the back of the left hand squares and lead hip opens. and 3. The top half hangs back to "catapult" the ball through impact, keeping the ball position ahead about under the left side of the bill of my cap. I also noticed your chest does not have to be pointing down as much as it does for hybrid shots. Interesting.. thanks for posting.. the slow motion parts and line graphics really communicate the techniques more effectively.. I cannot wait to try this swing.. Q: Does the finish imply the ball will release upon landing? Or will it check more because of the faster tempo of your swing. 🏌🏼‍♂️

I just got a rogue this helps a lot tu

Love this channel! Love the simple instructions and explanations. Keep it up Rick!

Thank you for this video Rick. Been working on the best spot to place my ball for more consistency when I use my 3 or 5 Wood. I have a set of G 400 Woods by Ping. Also use an 11 Wood Rogue by Callaway. Good stuff. Best Regards, Spider Dubiel

THIS WORKED!!!! Thank you so much. Used this to help me improve my 3 wood as a driver. Striped it 260/270 all day and broke 90 first time this year. THANK. YOU.

So excited for the RU-vid golf day

RBZ Black, stiff shaft, I love this club.

I needed this tip thank you! Bought my 3 for the reason you mentioned, to reach the green on 2. 2019 Cobra F9. Thanks Rick!

Can't get enough of this channel!! Btw, I carry a 2013 Callaway X Hot Pro 15 degree.

Cobra F8 🤤 it’s amazing but.... I get a bit swing happy sometimes 🤭

Great video Rick (as always). I've now started to grab a twig or a leaf close to the ball and place it beyond it an inch or so toward the hole as you did with the tee. It gives me a target to line up on and reminds me to hit down. RE: Which club - I've switched from a 915 3 wood to a 917 4 wood (16.5) and it's made the world of difference for my launch. I don't notice any loss of distance and the added spin helps to keep it on line.

I love all your tips and appreciate the quick videos that break down the steps. All of my issues stem from too much body shifting. If I could just stay stillllllll!!

I was about to set my 3-wood on fire.. but i'll try this first

Have a great day everyone! John 3: 16

This is probably the shot I need in my game more than any other, I can hit my 5 wood half decent off the fairway but it's that 3 wood fairway shot that would make a big difference to my game, looking forward to trying again now having watched this!

Hi Rick, thanks for all the great tips. I've been hitting the Taylormade 500 series 3 wood since they came out and haven't found another I hit as far. I also have the 5 and 7

How about a 30+ year old wood? With a steel shaft? As Captain Jack would say, "HELP".

Taylornade m1 2016 and I can't hit it

Callaway Epic Flash! Love it!! Chose it over TM!

Beginner golfer here. Just started playing 2 months ago . Currently have a taylormade 3 Rescue. One of my favorite clubs at the moment. Definitely appreciate your channel I’ve already improved in just a short time !

A 2000 Callaway big Bertha never even touch the thing though I'd rather use my 5 iron so it goes straight

Here after I couldn’t even hit the ball with my 3 wood at the driving range!

Great lesson! I was hitting my 4-wood very low - and not far. I followed your suggestions, and my ball is now airborne and flying 30 yards further. No eagles yet!

I just recently started playing golf at the age of 55. I bought a few Taylor Made RBZ Black clubs. Driver, 3 wood, 4&5 hybrids. I like the RBZs a lot. Seems to have helped me some over the Stratas I was using. After watching Rick’s videos I am hitting a lot better on the range. My Son and I are playing this weekend so I will try Rick’s advice again and see how I do.

Tour Edge Exotics CB 2. For me, nothing longer... at least in 3 woods i have tried.

What most of these 3-wood videos fail to mention is that, regardless of your set-up, unless you produce a lot of clubhead speed, most amateurs should forget about hitting a 3-wood off the deck ... they'll get better results with a 5 or 7-wood.

Super tip. I am struggling to hit my woods off the turf. I will try this asap...

Another awesome video Rick! An installment on hitting fairway woods off of uphill, downhill and sidehill lies would be fantastic. I know you did one for irons off of uneven lies but fairway woods off of those lies is even more difficult to execute I would imagine.

The talk today was this very topic. On my most recent round I was hitting the ground on my 3 Wood shots. Can't wait to move the ball more toward the center and try not to swing up like on my driver. Thanks for the tip and all your tips!

Thanks Rick, I hit my 3 wood today and impressed the 3 other guys almost reached par 5 in 2 shots today cause I watched this last week, you are awesome!

Thanks for this video. Super helpful. I really enjoy your lessons and tips. I'm a fan of your channel.

I’m now smashing epic flash 3+ sub and love it. Must say your videos have helped my game more than any others you make so much sense and thank you for all the help

Good video Rick. Currently game a 2016 M1 3HL 17 degree knocked down to 16 degree..

Just picked up some clubs today and tried the driving range for the first time in my life. These comments have put me at ease. I straight up looked stupid out there, glad that it is definitely not as easy as it looks lol.

I'm still using a Tour Edge Exotics XCG-3. One of my favorite clubs in my bag.

Just got Taylor made M2's. Loving them at the moment.

I have a Ping G410 and love it. The shallow face makes it so easy to hit the sweet spot.

I found that moving the ball further back in my stance did the trick for me. I was playing it too close to my front foot. Helps me hit a tad downward on it too. I tried it in both my matches today and I had some serious fun. I was booming my 3 and 5 Ping Wood G 400s. Spider Dubiel

Thank you. Great video and very helpful.

Hey Rick I have a Cobra F8 (Old Bluie's younger sibling) I adjusted it to 13 degrees to match my set lofts. After quite a few rounds and like many of the commenters, I was able to throw the club further than I could hit the ball with it. After watching this video I realized I was topping the ball too much so I changed shaft alignment (move hands forward a bit) as to produce the divot you were talking about. I would say I hit 32 out of 40 balls on the range using this with very good results. Thanks for the tip!

Very clear explanation of set up and importance of knowing where club bottoms out.

I currently use a Taylormade RBZ 16,5HL stiff 3 wood, great results from practicing with your instructions thanks Rick!

Thanks for the tip Rick. I have a Callaway XR16 3 wood in my bag.

Needed that video so badly !! Switched to an all par 3 course to a 3 & 4 and was lost when trying to hit my 3W off the fairway. Thank you 🙏

I have Adams graphite shafts and Driver. I love your tips and you’ve just given me another good one. I’ve been leaning back too far to hit off fairway. Thank you AGAIN

Superb video as always. I wish I could watch a 5 minute video of you just swinging in slow motion over and over from different views, different clubs. I learn a lot from slow mo, and the repeated views give me a chance to see more. Keep up the good work!

Am 62 playing off 21.9 HI in Winter League.Just completed my 4th Round with the Wilson Launchpad 3 wood in the bag.I was OK with my old 3 wood but with the Launchpad I was putting the ball too far forward in my stance as you say in the video.After watching the video and moving it back,I hit it much better on Saturday.The Wilson Launchpad Driver and 3 wood have really helped me.I am looking forward to using them next year in summer conditions which I haven't done yet. Richard

Mr Shiels, your videos are not only informative but have inspired my golf experience. Next year will be 20yrs for me. I shoot over 100. With your help I should break 90 by this time next year. Thx a bunch. I tell everyone about the best instructor ever!!!

I’m currently still hitting the Cobra King F8 3 wood. I absolutely love it!

Currently I have the Taylormade M4 3W... Love your coaching... Your lessons have lowered my score by 5 strokes... Thank you. Doug Kindred from Washington State...

Thanks for the great tip! My current 3 woods are the Xr16 and xr16 pro.

I'm still playing a Callaway 15 degree X-Hot Oversize with a Diamana Regular (70) shaft. It's about the same size as my Titleist 917 F2 18 degree but amazingly easy to hit. Love your videos Rick.

I play TaylorMade M2's. This video was a huge help, I'm actually hitting my fairway woods well now! I shared with my buddies, thanks Rick!

Thank you Rick Shiels, I've bee been struggling with my 3 wood for so long, every single time at this stupid really long uphill par 4, I'm within 3 wood range and every single time, doesn't matter if I hit another 5-8 shots the result is always the same, quite terrible. And I'm keen to hit the green of that stupid par 4. Thank you.

Taylor made M6 3 Wood. Thanks for the tips Rick, especially ball position further back in stance. I think I’m inclined to have it too far forward like a driver and would account for me topping the occasional shot.

great video! I carry a Callaway rogue and a taylor made R15 3 wood
