Craig. Thanks for looking at the 3 Wood swing I submitted with a question on.

Hi Craig. Thanks for looking at the 3 Wood swing I submitted with a question on why I was skying the ball from time to time. I was relieved that, like me, you couldn't see an obvious reason for what happened but I decided to go back to the original 120FPS video to look at the impact. The attached pictures of when I was at address and the frame at impact suggests to me that I wasn't steep at impact but that rather the club returned to address and was brushing the mat rather than being slightly higher (you can see the arc of the club as a lighter area approaching the ball). The reason I skyed the ball was because it was teed up to much. I played yesterday and teed the ball lower and didn't have any problems. What do you think? If that is the case should I just tee it up lower or maybe move it forward in my stance? Regards Neil

Hello Neil. I would suggest the lower tee. When hitting a fairway wood (unless you are going for distance/high launch) should be teed relatively close to the ground. I agree with your assessments.
