Unleash Your Inner Bomber: Mastering Fairway Woods at Eagle Ridge
You know the feeling – standing on the tee box, club in hand, the fairway stretching out before you. As you take a deep breath and prepare to swing, a sense of excitement and trepidation sets in. Will this be the drive that sails down the middle, leaving you with a short approach shot? Or will it be another embarrassing top or slice that leaves you scrambling just to reach the green in regulation?
If you’re like most golfers, your fairway woods – those 3, 5, and 7 woods – can be the source of endless frustration. [1] The smaller sweet spot and steeper angle of attack required compared to your driver often lead to inconsistent contact and distance. And let’s not even talk about the dreaded topped shot that barely gets airborne.
But what if I told you there’s a simple secret that can unlock the true power of your fairway woods and hybrids? A technique that can instantly eliminate those ugly mis-hits, add 10-30 yards of distance, and have you striping your approach shots like a pro – no matter your age, strength, or current skill level.
It’s called the “Extended Runway Technique,” and it’s the cornerstone of my Fairway Woods Masterclass. Over the past 35 years of teaching over 50,000 students, [2] I’ve discovered that the root cause of fairway wood woes boils down to one simple issue: an insufficient “runway” in your swing.
Think of it like an airplane taking off. The plane needs a certain amount of runway to build up speed and lift off the ground smoothly. Well, it’s the same principle with your fairway woods and hybrids. Without enough “runway” in your swing, you end up either bottoming out before the ball (fat shots) or catching it too steep and thin (topped shots).
But with the Extended Runway Technique, I’m going to show you how to automatically create the perfect level angle of attack to consistently flush those longer clubs. No more guesswork, no more swing changes – just pure, powerful contact time after time.
The Runway to Riches
Now, you might be wondering, “But Martin, I thought distance off the tee was the most important part of my game?” Well, let me let you in on a little secret: [3] Approach shots are actually the single biggest determinant of scoring for most amateur golfers.
The difference between breaking 90 and breaking 80 often comes down to your ability to hit greens in regulation from that 150-200 yard range. And that’s where your fairway woods and hybrids reign supreme. Nail those shots, and you’ll be looking at a lot more birdie and par opportunities. Mess them up, and well, let’s just say your scorecard won’t be looking too pretty.
That’s why mastering your fairway woods is so crucial. They’re your ticket to lower scores, more greens hit, and overall golfing bliss. And the Extended Runway Technique is the key that unlocks that potential.
I first started noticing this issue back when I opened my Tour Striker Golf Academy in 2011. [2] So many of my students were struggling to make consistent contact with their longer clubs – topping, chunking, or completely whiffing shots that should have been easy.
I quickly realized the problem wasn’t with their swings, per se, but with their swing dynamics. They simply didn’t have enough “runway” built into their downswing to properly deliver the clubhead to the back of the ball.
The Two Deadly Sins of Fairway Wood Hitting
You see, there are really only two ways you can mess up your fairway wood and hybrid shots:
- Swinging down too steep and crashing into the ground before the ball (fat shots)
- Swinging up too much and catching the ball on the upswing (topped shots)
Either way, the result is the same: embarrassingly short, off-line shots that leave you muttering under your breath and wondering if you’ll ever master these darn clubs.
But the Extended Runway Technique solves both of these problems in one fell swoop. By keeping your club on a more level, shallow angle of attack, you eliminate the possibility of those dreaded mis-hits. Instead, you’ll be rocketing your fairway woods and hybrids straight down the middle, with the kind of launch and distance that’ll have your playing partners shaking their heads in disbelief.
Imagine standing over a long par 4 or par 5, having to pull out your 3-wood or 5-wood, and feeling completely confident in your ability to flush that shot. No more white-knuckle grip, no more frantically trying to “help” the ball up in the air. Just a smooth, powerful swing and the satisfying thwack of the clubface on the sweet spot.
That’s the kind of golfing bliss the Extended Runway Technique can unlock for you. And the best part is, it only takes about 10 practice swings to get the hang of it. [2] I’ve seen high handicappers, seniors, and even complete beginners transform their fairway wood and hybrid games in a single range session.
The Secret to Consistent Flush Shots
So, what’s the secret behind the Extended Runway Technique? It all comes down to that crucial transition from your backswing into the downswing. [1]
Most golfers make the mistake of either swinging too steeply down on the ball, or trying to help it up into the air by swinging too much upward. Both of these tendencies lead to those awful fat and topped shots we discussed earlier.
But with the Extended Runway Technique, I’m going to show you a simple “easy takeaway” move that automatically sets you up for a shallow, level swing path. This extended runway at the start of your downswing is the key to unlocking pure, powerful contact time after time.
It works by keeping your club on a more parallel, level plane as you transition from backswing to downswing. [1] This allows you to deliver the clubhead to the back of the ball with maximum speed and minimum effort, creating that satisfying, laser-like ball flight you’ve been craving.
And the best part is, you don’t need to be some kind of superhuman athlete to make it work. I’ve taught this technique to golfers of all ages, body types, and skill levels – from spry young guns to seniors with limited mobility. [2] As long as you follow the simple steps I lay out in the Fairway Woods Masterclass, you’ll be flushing your longer clubs like a pro in no time.
Unleash Your Inner Bomber
Now, I know what you might be thinking: “But Martin, won’t this just make me hit the ball even further offline?” And that’s a valid concern. After all, what good is extra distance if you can’t keep it in the short stuff, right?
Well, let me put your mind at ease. Not only does the Extended Runway Technique eliminate those awful fat and topped shots, but it also promotes an incredibly consistent, centered strike. [1] That means you’ll not only be launching your fairway woods and hybrids miles down the fairway, but you’ll be doing it with pinpoint accuracy.
Imagine the look on your playing partners’ faces when you’re consistently out-driving them by 20, 30, even 40 yards – and still finding the short grass. [4] They’ll be scratching their heads, wondering how you suddenly transformed from a fairway wood duffer to a legitimate bomber.
And it’s not just the distance gains that’ll have them green with envy. The consistency you’ll develop with the Extended Runway Technique will also pay huge dividends around the greens. [5] No more leaving yourself with awkward, impossible-to-hit approach shots. Instead, you’ll be looking at makeable birdie and par putts time and time again.
In fact, I’d be willing to bet that after just a single range session implementing the Extended Runway Technique, you’ll start seeing strokes come off your scores faster than you ever thought possible. [2] It’s that much of a game-changer.
