Love your coaching but I can’t agree with you on this one. Most amateurs would find it easier to hit consistently, and get distance, from a teed up 3 Wood (eg half a ball above the club) not striking down on the ball. Fairway woods are one of the most inconsistent clubs for amateurs off the deck and I just can’t see the point of taking the advantage of a tee away.
Great video and content, is the straight arm release slightly left of your target line or does it depend which shape you are hitting?
Never seen this covered before on YT & it caught my interest because I don't feel comfortable hitting a three wood off a tee. First thing that caught my attention was tee height. I tee it higher & that often results in a ball that goes way up but not as far as I want it to go. Seems more similar to hitting a three wood as a fairway wood than hitting it like a driver where i do tee the ball above the crown.
Thanks. Just what I needed
Hmmm? It sounds like good sense, but if you slow the video down, your own arm doesn't do what you say, 4:25 speed 0.25
Yet again, thank you Clay.
3 wood, teed down, slightly downward hit = magic ! Consistant long drives only 4 or 5 metres less than the driver.

TOO MUCH INFO…….. sometimes less is MORE.
I love hitting 3-woods off the deck, ow with this fine tuning tip from Clay I can hit it some amazing distances now. Super.
Quality as always. For some reason, started struggling with the 3 wood. Will try these… thanks Clay
Hi Clay. Enjoy your videos. I purchased a new 3 wood 5 yrs ago and was killing it for about six months. Out of nowhere, I just lost it. Couldn't hit worth a lick. Took out of my bag and bought a 2 iron. Do you have a video on how to hit a 3 wood consistently from the fairway ?
Great tip! The throwing analogy really tuned the light bulb on. Can't wait to work on this.
Great video Clay love ripping my 3 wood 👍my G410 goes a Mile when I catch it, best 3 wood I've ever owned 😀👍
I’m in Seattle so I hardly watch golf tips this time of year. This one was worth a watch. Suggest some slo-mo shots would help too.
Thank you so much for this video, Clay! Remember me requesting instruction on teeing off with a 3-wood two years ago? 😉 [I do not have a driver]
I have been working on my 3 wood Clay & hit it fairly consistently off the deck. My main trouble is getting height. Should I be hitting down on it off the deck?
I have stopped using a driver and switched to a three wood a month ago. Hitting 10 out of 14 fairways instead of 7 out of 14. And I’m only giving up 10 yds if that.
can't stop watching this video! so happy to finally get excellent instruction on teeing off with the 3-wood! thanks again!
As a natural right hander that plays lefty..Ive been working hard on my left arm to throw the club rather than pulling with my dominate right. I now have a neutral grip and hitting straight…prior I needed a strong grip to stop fade/slice.
I have also played a few rounds using only the 3W instead of driver for both tee and fairway…works a treat but can be a bit too high against the wind..
Thanks clay. I've started playing again (well currently training and loving it) after a 17 year lay off! Im hitting the balls better and further then in ever have through watching videos like yours and some others thank you. Only done iron work so far but lookingto get the rescue clubs and 3 wood out. This was exactly what I needed 👌👍⛳
Thanks Clay, great explanation as always 👍
Have any tips for someone that often snap hooks 3wood off the tee. Only club it happens with
Yeah, that damn golf ball is just in the way !!!
wow. That throwing explanation is an easy way to help the feel. Coming from someone who played cricket for 15 years i have the same issue with long irons and 3W with early extension. Cheers Clay
Thank you!
Mega Wow ! An eye opener !
i watched this video and almost instantly started hitting the ball about 40 yards further along with a lot straighter. I use a 5 wood tho since i got to get a new 3 wood. my distance went from 150 to anywhere betweem 160 to 200 yards. This has helped me a lot. Thanks.
Ive seen tutorial videos for 3 wood off the tee, suggesting to tee the ball up so just over half the face is above the crown, and have the ball aligned to the heel of the front foot, so we one can hit it on the up. Youre saying the complete opposite.
Best video on a 3wood I have seen. Many thanks.
I keep hitting the ground about 3/4 inches before the contact. What am I doing wrong
I’ve been playing for about 8 years and I still prefer my 3 wood to my driver.
gotta learn better this dag-gon' straight-line release technique. thanks clay!
This helped a lot. Over the summer I got into golf after not playing for about 6 years. My first couple of rounds I played this summer couldn’t hit my driver straight to save my life and it was really pissing me off. I learned how to properly tee off with the 3 wood and it is way better. We have this 9 hole course par is I think 38. I would shoot like a 10 over by teeing off with my driver and with the 3 wood best I was able to do was a 4 over which for me isn’t bad.
Therefore, keep the tee as low as for iron tee shot?
Can you use the straight line release when using hybrids.
I hit my 3 wood off the tee every time I hit it 30 yards further than my driver and I hit my 3 wood so much more consistently
Thanks so much Clay. So glad I found your channel.
