Handbook

Woods are one of the most important clubs in a golf set, designed to hit long shots from the tee or the fairway. However, hitting woods effectively requires a combination of precise technique and flexible adjustments. Here is a guide to golf wood hitting technique for both beginners and experienced golfers.

1. Starting position

Correct preparation posture plays an important role in wood hitting technique:

• Legs and posture:

  • Feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart for added stability.

  • Weight placed between the legs.

• Ball position:

  • Place the ball in front of your left heel (or right foot if you are left-handed).

• Body tilt angle:

  • Keep your knees slightly bent.

  • Lean your body slightly forward to maintain balance.

2. Swing with a wooden stick

Swing technique is the key factor when hitting a wood:

• Backswing (Bringing the club up):

  • Keep your arms straight but not too stiff.

  • As you bring the club up, let your weight gradually shift to your back foot.

• Downswing:

  • Weight transferred to front foot when hitting.

  • The glove collar maintains the correct swing path to ensure a correct hitting angle.

• Impact (Hitting Point):

  • Make sure the club head hits the ball before hitting the ground.

  • Accelerate the club to maximum speed just before impact.

• Follow-through (Elastic):

  • Complete the shot by ensuring the club is brought to a high position after hitting.

  • Weight transferred completely to the front foot.

3. Tips for hitting with a wood club

• Keep calm:

  • If you hit the wood too quickly, it will be difficult to maintain accuracy. Keep a steady rhythm.

• Focus on the ball:

  • Avoid looking in the direction of the ball's flight before making contact with the ball.

• Exercise regularly:

  • Practice is the best way to perfect your technique and increase your ball control.
