I’m done with my 3 wood

Recommended Posts

Didn't find it stiffer with the 3wood shaft just the opposite ; I went from a regular shaft in my G400 to a stiff shaft +1/2" in G410, so the added length made it play somewhere between regular and stiff. The fitter put me in a stiffer shaft to reduce spin. I also dialed it down one degree so it is at 16.5 loft so in effect a 4 wood.

I have problems with fairway woods so I got a 2i hybrid that looks like a PT-15 and hit it about one club less than a 3 wood(225) and close to the same height. The shorter shaft and the top face line in line with the inside of the hosel give me confidence, in effect it looks like a 3 wood with the face slightly open but is about 2.5 -3" shorter.

"Shirtsleeve" swing technique:

1. Setup: Elbows bent forearms pressed together against shaft slightly forward of center with "Hogan" "active/flexed" leg tension left foot turned out slightly and the right leg slightly farther to the right - weight mostly on balls of feet butt of left hands sits on the top of the grip with very light grip.

2. Swing - W/o disturbing weight distribution of legs and feet lower hands while doing a forward press "swing trigger" then the left upper arm takes over on the backswing, it needs to go out in front of the body then back in front of the chest as the hands trace down initially then up to over the right shoulder "Torres". The goal is to not disturb the pressure of the feet during the initial takeaway.

 

Notes:

1. Only swing thought after swing trigger - extend left arm at shirt sleeve when reaching left hand over right shoulder "Shirtsleeve technique".

2. The upper left arm move "Shirtsleeve technique" can be practiced independently without a club, sitting down for instance

3. The correct feet tension can be felt by doing very short hops on the balls of the feet then holding the same feeling of pressure on the front of the feet and then taking three practice swings with the grip very loose in order to not disturb the same pressure on the feet and on the 3rd swing actively do the "Shirtsleeve" move. From there the swing should be done within a matter of seconds to not lose the feel of the legs resisting, this way this is not a learned technique as much as it is a setup technique.
