Hi Robyn,
Thank you for sending in your member game profile. It really helps me point you to the most useful lessons for where your game is right now.
Fairway woods at a 10-19 handicap is such a valuable area to tighten up and there is a really strong library to draw from.
Start with How to Have Success with Your Fairway Woods, where Christina Ricci shows how to swing through the ball for more consistent contact, distance and confidence with your fairway woods.
Then move on to How to Hit Your Fairway Wood from a Tight Lie, where Trillium Rose shows how to simplify your fairway wood shots from tight lies by focusing on body balance. At a 10-19 handicap this situational lesson will be really useful for those trickier fairway positions.
And if you'd like to keep exploring, all our fairway wood lessons are here.
