3 woods or fairway woods are often the most difficult clubs to use as they are the longest clubs that we play from the ground.
In this short video Chris covers the delivery needed to be successful with this club, along with some swing principles that will get you hitting the 3 wood more consistently than ever before.

Ok, got it. But I do wish you Brit types would take the gum out of your mouth while instructing or slow down the chat.
Negative attack angle. Thank you
Thank you so much Chris
will have to try this negative attack angle and taking a divot with fairway woods technique. I usually sweep the ball with fairway woods. also great info on the construction of fairway woods. must have knowledge for all new golfers.
Excellent job Chris on explaining "bulge" on FW club face! Also, learned what causes low shots with the fairway woods. Ball position is definitely important and something that I am aware of when hitting these clubs. I think my main problem is moving through the ball properly. Good Job!
You covered exACTLY what I've been doing wrong w/ the 3w!!! Can't wait to get out and try the new setup and swing! Thanks for yet another SUPER lesson!!
Great videos
3 wood is my "leave in the bag club". Problem is, now I am in my 70s I need a 3 wood for most second shots. This swing tip may help but I have trouble getting front on after hitting the ball.
You explain things well and I've had heaps of problems topping the 3 fairway wood off the deck, I'll try and move the ball a bit back, thanks 🙂
Is there a difference between a 3-wood and a 3-iron swing? I can’t think of any. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong

Thanks for your thorough explanation of the club head,. Most helpful in understanding how to hit the challenging three wood..
This is a great video Chris, good job! A little tip for those who struggle to end their shots with their belt buckle and chest at target is to push the chest down towards the ball on downswing as this ensures rotation of hips, improves strike and removes slice. The old saying 'keep your head down' is actually 'keep your chest down' and is part of the reason why Chris' technique is so amazing to watch.
Thanks
Very Ryanesque…clear, concise, simple, spot one.
I watched this video a few days ago; I went to the range, nothing but tops and low hangers.
I re-watched the video yesterday; I Went to the range and hit proper 3 wood shots of the mat for the first time in my life.
Thanks, bro
So. Much. Talking. Very little information.
Glad I found this video I was crushing the ball with the 3 wood at the range today
Great info!
I hit my 5 wood the best. If I could only hit my driver. Most times I will just use the 5 off the tee just to keep it in the fairway. Now I am only hitting it 180-210 which leaves me some distance on my second shot with par 4/5
Wow…who knew??? I've been struggling with my 3 wood specifically because I have been hitting the ball with the bottom of the club face, never knowing that I may have better results using the middle to upper sections of the club face. Heading to the range now for validation. Thanks.
Spray mine to the right all the time
👍
Closeness to the ball how do you measure.
Great explanations i've never been told before. Thank you, my fairway hits improved very much.
Thank you sir

Hands down the best instructional videos on YouTube IMO. 👊🏼
Been using my old 3wood since I was a junior golfer. Been pulling it recently but getting decent contact and launch from it still.
Tee in the handle in a different video on the driver to square it up, can this apply to your three wood. ..?
Watched 1 minute then ads flooded in. No thanks.
Just found this and it´s one of the best instructions I´ve seen. Now I can hit predictable shots with my new 3 wood. So big thanks.
Thanks for the instruction
Brilliant, just what I needed – and works! Thanks.
Super helpful and not over technical made a big difference for me thank you
Effective tutorial, thank you
