If your hitting it a ton from the tee position, it should be a piece of cake off the fairway. Exact same shot, both are sweeps, just think of it as a low tee'd shot.

If your linedriving it, or topping it, it means your lifting uo to early in your downswing. Don't try ot hit it as hard as you would from the tee. Just focus on clean contact, and the club will do the rest.

I set up with the ball a little further back in my stance than when I hit it off the tee. That's about the only change I make. It took me a while to get used to hitting my FW on the fairways, but now, I feel fairly confident in them.

Some club aficionados can chime in, but some FW are easier to hit from the deck than others - so I've heard.

That is one LONG fairway wood. A club that long takes a while to release, so pausing for an extra few seconds at the top should give you the time you need to make solid contact.

Take more of an iron swing as opposed to a driver swing.

Another thing that may help, is to tilt the shaft forward a bit, and try a more descending blow to the ball..not as much as an iron, but somewhere in between.

Another solution would be to use 2 different 3 wood. When I use to play competitively, I had 2 14.5degree Titleist 975F in my bag. One with TrueTemper S300 for mashing it off the tee and one with stock graphite regular flex (sorry forgot the name of the shaft on that one). By using more flex shaft, your ball trajectory usually goes higher.

I lost about 20 yards with regular flex one but I was able to swing with just a tempo instead of a strong force to hit the ball which resulted in consistant shots.

Other way would be to cut the shaft by inch or two and hit it like middle iron which I personally don't recommend.

Hey,

Hope your able to solve your problem..

Try go slow first on your full swing, use your left hand to push it and not your right hand, then try go 80% on your down swing, Maybe this can work.

Im thinkin that your swing speed is so fast that when your ball is in the ground, you kinda topped the ball.

Also try punching it first at the driving range, no follow through, see if you can hit the ball if you just punch it. Once you get the groove, then try it with your full swing plus follow through.

Happy hitting
