Swing ?

johnnyq

Hi,
I would just like to know when you are driving with a 3 wood how far back should the swing go ? My friend brings the club no higher than his shoulder but when I first started I brought it all the way back ( he still got it further !). What would you recommend?

Maybe its just your friends got a faster and more powerful swing

Unless you are trying to punch a shot low, you should take your usual full swing.

[tip] if you make a full swing in front of a mirrow or window and stop at the top. Your club should not be gone past horizontal in relation to the ground. Look at woods' 3/4 swing on his irons.

In relation to distance. So much comes into the factor. Swing speed, angle of attack, impact postiion, weight shifting, body mass.
If you are really concerned, you should see a pro about your swing

I have just started the game as well. I have found that it is really difficult to get the complete 3/4 way for the drive. I tend to go off line with it and am not going far enough back to compensate. Would really recommend a lesson as well.

What a world. golf. Get a lesson best few yoyos u ever spent. If u keep playuing u will build bad habits.2-3 lessons is all it will take to get grip and swing right. really low cost compared to messing up on t box. once u can hi t the ball u can enjoy the course and the company
