I've been having problems when hitting my 3w off the fairway i cant get any height or distance. I have a 7w that i hit 210 yards very consistantly. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? When i hit it off the tee its fine.

Possibly. Its hard to say what youre doing exactly, but if youre not getting the ball in the air with the longer clubs it generally means your too steep. Your clubs bottoms out too quickly, and in turn, you hit the ball on the way up.

It could be something as simple as a bad setup or grip, to lifting in the backswing which can lead to a steep plane on the way down. Again, its hard to say.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
