Fairway Wood Issues

[JimR]

Help! I am really struggling to hit my fairway woods off the turf. Genrally have no issues when the ball is teed up. When the ball is on the ground I make good contact but the trajectory is way too low. What is causing this? I am working on staying "behind" the ball at impact and ensuring that I'm not sucking my arms too far inside on the take-away but with limited success. Any advice?

- Ball too far foward
- Not hitting down enough
- Swinging too far right
- Swaying foward in the downswing

In that order

Thanks Jim. I"m playing tomorrow and will try to incorporate your advice and report back.

JIm, I made progress particularly when incorporating the fourth element (not swaying forward of the ball). While I was not consistently able to prevent a forward slide one thing that seemed to help was for me to stand a little taller and closer to the ball. Does that sound correct?
