Matteo Manassero has won 3 times on the European Tour, yet he isn't a big hitter -- at least, not by Tour standards. He hits his driver around 275 yards. When I found this little video from Golf Monthly (shot just a couple of months ago) on fairway woods -- especially the 3-wood -- I knew it was worth passing along.
Some of the info is greater a matter of interest -- what clubs he makes use of and their lofts, for instance -- however he receives a bit extra into technique as he goes alongside. He even compares his three-timber distance to his driver distance.
A couple of things from the video well worth citing:
Although driver method (off the tee) is commonly special from the manner you play your different pictures, Matteo says he does not play his three-timber any in another way off the tee than he does whilst hitting it off the golf green. This is why I regularly endorse that gamers running on their swings use their three-woods instead of a driving force. You can use the equal swing all the time, so that you make progress faster.
Note that Matteo hits his three-wooden with a slightly in-to-out path whilst he desires to hit the ball decrease and farther. Don't make the error of wondering that that is a huge route exchange. Essentially he is just seeking to flatten out the bottom of his swing, so he doesn't hit down at the ball as plenty. This makes the ball fly decrease and roll greater whilst it hits the ground.
Learning to hit your 3-wooden nicely can truly help you overcome a loss of distance on the holes in which duration is a hassle. Matteo is proof that you do not must be a bomber to play this recreation properly.
