Sweep the ball

What to remember

Fairway woods need a shallow strike. Do not chop down like a wedge.

Trust the loft

What to remember

The club is built to launch the ball. Your job is to make balanced contact.

Use smart targets

What to remember

A hybrid to a safe area is often better than forcing a fairway wood at a tight green.
