DRIVER vs 3 WOOD WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE - Simple Golf Tips
In this golf lesson Matt Fryer Golf takes you through the difference of a Driver and a 3 wood. From how the golf clubs alter, to how you should address each club and how each golf club should be swung. They may look very similar golf clubs, but a few small changes can make a huge difference.
Use this golf lesson next time you hit your driver or 3 wood and you should see better control of each club.

Love the tip about dropping the shaft onto the thigh for getting the right stance position from the ball. I've been playing for 48 years and have never heard that tip!

Great vid Matt. Could you maybe do one on the difference between fairway woods & hybrids off the deck.

Matt, I’ve been back 6months after a 15yr injury break, your videos have been amazing I’ve gone from slicing everything to being able to hit driver 260-285yds. Putting is letting me down but working on it. Appreciate all the vids

I’m a 12.4 handicap. My secret: get a driver. At 12+ degrees with a 3-wood length (43.5”). Give up the 15 yards, but add back five yards because you’re going to use a hot ball (Titleist Velocity, etc). So you’re in the fairway constantly 10 yards back and hitting one more club into the green.

Thanks Matt great content as always! I went and played around today shot a 103 which is now my consistent score, but I took today on as if I was just going to have fun, I hit way more straight fairway shots than I ever have and it's all credit to the advice that you and your colleagues give about setup, swing and follow through. I now have a pre shot routine which probably drives my partner nuts but it's working for me! Now I just need to work on my short game, struggled badly today with my chip shots and my chances for hitting greens on second shots. I still have a long way to go but I don't calculate any handicap in my score if I did it probably would have been just over par! Please keep doing videos I have learned so much and now I am starting to get it and apply it. I am very thankful that this is what you have decided to do with your talent for teaching!

@christinegoulden7940 2 жыл бұрын

This was a brilliant one for me, thank you Matt. You will be familiar with the colour coding of tees that are already set up at the right height. I am not confident with a white tee for driving. I have been known to get underneath it a bit, which isn't great for the club. So I am using the pink tee to drive off. For the 3 or fairway wood I am using the blue tee, which has been okay. Looking at your setup here, I should maybe use the little green stubby tee, that I use for Irons. Even with the 1 inch in front of center stance idea I can't hit a 3 wood off of the deck, so I use a hybrid for fairaways. . It looks like I have to be off of the lead heel for ball position with the 3 wood as well. Thanks for this one.

@GolfingMalky 3 жыл бұрын

Based on a previous vlog of yours, I know I should take a 3-wood off the tee for a number of holes at my local course. This vlog will be a great help in 2021 when I play these holes. Cheers Matt!

Shaft position is key on these shots. 😊😊 It’s the main difference, I find, between hitting a slice or a hook.

Matt, question. When lining driver sweet spot up behind the ball, do you hover it a bit or leave it on the ground? Seems to be the latter. I find when I line it up with the head on the ground I get more heel hits. Excellent video.

I haven't had a 3 wood in the bag for years because I can use a driver and hit different lengths and am pretty accurate. I have recently acquired a new 3 wood and I am going to give it a chance, but I don't know when to actually pull it. My bag currently goes from Driver to 2 iron. I guess I have to pay more attention to see if there is any noticeable gap.
