There are many occasions on the tee where you need to be
00:02
more position conscious rather than length conscious.
00:05
You might have a tight par-four or a short par-four,
00:08
or just a hole that you might not need to hit driver on.
00:11
Take Henrik Stenson for instance.
00:13
I mean he hits a three-wood a long way certainly,
00:16
but he uses it more for control and for direction.
00:19
So here's a way that you can be sure
00:21
of getting a three-wood in play.
00:24
First off all, you wanna tee the ball up
00:25
just above the height of the grass
00:28
so it gives you a good lie.
00:30
Secondly, you wanna choke down
00:32
on about an inch on the club.
00:35
The next thing you wanna get the ball
00:36
a little further back in your stance.
00:38
When you hit your driver you get forward in your stance
00:40
so you can hit up on it.
00:41
What you're trying to do here
00:43
is actually hit down on it slightly.
00:45
You wanna feel almost like you're
00:46
taking a slight divot.
00:48
Whether you do or whether you don't,
00:49
that's beside the point.
00:50
But you need to feel
00:51
that you're hitting down on it slightly.
00:53
This squeezes the ball off the turf
00:55
and helps to keep the club face square through impact.
01:00
ball just a little back in your stance,
01:02
make sure you feel like you gonna take
01:03
a slight divot off to the ball
01:06
and go ahead and swing.
