Katie Rule's Fairway Wood Tips (Video)

Golf Monthly says these are "women's tips" but most men need help with fairway woods too. This supershort video has setup advice, a drill and an equipment tip.



Here are the tips, but Katie's demonstrations make them much clearer.

• Ball position: Place the ball a full ball width back of your lead toe.
• Drill: Place a strip of paper one ball width behind the ball and try to sweep the paper away with the ball at impact.
• Equipment: If you have problems getting the ball up, try some fairway woods with different lofts. You may simply be using a club with too much loft for your swing.

Simple things to be sure -- but it's usually the simple things that give us the most trouble, isn't it?
