Callaway Golf - Fairway Wood Tip - Chris Foley
Callaway Golf- Fairway Wood Tip- Chris Foley: Hi, I’m Chris Foley, from Maddens on Gull Lake, in Brainerd, Minnesota. Today, we’re going to talk about how to get the golf ball up in the air, hitting the fairway wood. One of the things people fear the most when they’re hitting a long iron or a fairway club is how to get the golf ball up in the air. Typically, the reason why we don’t get the ball up in the air is that on the back swing, we’re rotating and moving toward our left side. So, what happens when we move to the left is a reaction to that on the downswing, we have to fall back to the right. That moves the… our center of gravity back, and causes us to have to lift up on the golf ball or try to lift it up in the air, falling back in an effort to get it up. So what we’re going to work on, is getting set up to the golf ball, in a good set up position, moving over to our right side, and then through to the left. If you do this, I guarantee you’ll be able to get the golf ball up in the air and hit it farther.
Callaway Golf - Fairway Wood Tip - Randy Peterson
Callaway Golf- Fairway Wood Tip- Randy Peterson: Hi, I’m Randy Peterson. Today, we’re at the Callaway Golf Test Center. We’re going to talk about hitting fairway woods. A lot of people have success with their 5 wood or their 7 wood or their 9 wood, but as we get into the 3 and 4 woods, people tend to struggle with those, and actually, the 3 wood, even for the tour pros the hardest club in the bag to hit. The reason is it’s got the least amount of loft for a club you hit off the ground. And the tendency, especially for most amateurs is to get the ball way too far forward in their stance, and lean back, and try to lift the ball in the air. So, what you want to do with the 3 and 4 wood, even though they don’t have a lot of loft, whenever the ball’s on the ground, you still need to be hitting down on the ball slightly. So we want to get the ball just inside your left heel, not quite so far up as you would with a driver. A ball or so inside your left heel. And then with the setup, make sure your shoulders are really square. It’s easy to get your shoulders way open because the ball’s forward, and doing that causes a little bit of a reverse shift, and then again, hitting up on the ball too much. So, get the ball an inch inside your heel, nice and square with the shoulders and then make your normal backswing and as you come into the ball, feel like you come down on the ball slightly. If you take a little divot, that’s okay, but ideally you wouldn’t take any divot, but you’d still be hitting the ball with a descending blow. That’s what going to make the ball get up in the air. Create the spin, to give the ball the lift. So, just inside the heel, nice, square setup, turn back, hit down on it slightly, and you’ll get that 3 and 4 wood up in the air, every time. Good luck.

Callaway X Hybrid - Jeff Colton
Callaway X Hybrid - Jeff Colton: Our X Hybrids really provide a great alternative to those difficult to hit long irons in your bag. Traditional wood styling and shape so you get the forgiveness of that wood, but in a little bit shorter shaft length, in between a ferry wood and a long iron, to give you a little more control. That’s what a hybrid does. It really gives you the forgiveness and the ease of hitting of the wood head, but with the control and consistency that the iron type shaft length gives you. So our X Hybrids exhibit great all stainless steel construction, very low leading edge to get under the ball very easily, and are available in a very wide range of lofts, all the way from two through five H, the H standing for hybrid, two through four, five H.
