Place the ball a little farther back than you would with a driver. Placing the ball this way helps you hit down towards the ball, creating lift.

Lift your left shoulder slightly.

Hold on tight to the club so you keep the motion in check. To make sure you’re gripping tightly enough, place a coin on your left thumb before placing your right hand over it. Keep the quarter in place throughout your swing.

Try practice swings below the line of the balls. Don’t try to hit all 4 balls!

Practice swinging solidly and smoothly through. Make an nice, even motion, and only increase speed to the point where you still feel in control.

As you make this movement, shift your weight to your right inner leg.

Basically, always keep the club low to the ground when hitting a fairway wood. [13] X Research source

Try not to “scoop” the ball. Rather, drive down into the ball and move it forward. [15] X Research source
