I want it almost in the middle of the face of the club, which means I tee it up just above the grass, like I would with a short iron. I don't want to set up in a way that I'd have to compensate to hit the ball properly. Skying the ball is a result of too much loft at impact, not hitting down on the ball. Too much loft can be caused by flipping the wrists or bottom of the swing behind the ball.

The average angle of descent with the 3 wood on the PGA Tour is -3 degrees, which means they do not in any way swing up on the ball. If you tee the ball with half the ball above the club face, you could risk lifting up just in order to hit the ball square and popping it up.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3, April 11, after the Masters and before dinner, I had time (quite a bit of time, actually) to hit about two dozen practice balls, complete with the pelvis limiting drill.  As with the past two days, I would do the drill for pelvis limiting, then take slow rehearsals of the backswing, checking positions in a mirror, and then reset and hit.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net, primarily with a 6-iron, although a few were with a 9-iron.

      Day 234 4-11 Wrist arching and hips/chest in backswing. Really trying to hammer in the wrist arch, its such a  better swing when I do it correctly, its not in muscle memory yet.

      You know, I haven't followed much professional golf the past few years, and he wasn't the star of today's show, but I think I like this Sam Burns fellow.  I hope he plays well tomorrow.

      All of these missed fairways and the miraculous escapes followed by the seemingly reliable miracles suddenly stopping reminds me of another former Masters champion whose luck ran out on the 72nd hole of a major twenty years ago.
