Set the club at the top for fairway wood tempo

To fix fairway-wood tempo, focus on fully setting the club at the top of the backswing: go slow from about halfway to the top and feel the club rest in your trail index finger. Finishing the set creates a pause at the top that lets the downswing start with the body instead of the arms. The coach uses a clicking training tool for feedback.

Try it

  1. Listen for clicks at the top of the backswing from about halfway to the top - three to five clicks.
  2. Go slow until you feel the club resting in your trail index; at this point you have finished setting the club.
  3. Start the downswing with the body instead of the arms.

Why this context matters

Executed with a proprietary 'precision impact' tool that clicks as the wrist sets.
