Any golfer who plays in windy conditions knows that certain skills are required to keep the ball lowand to keep the TaylorMade Burner Fairway Wood from blowing back over your head! One of these skills is hitting driver off the deck. Making a pass with the driver from the fairway isn't your everyday type of shot, but it flies low and with plenty of distance, making it the perfect play when you have a ton of yardage left into a par-4 green. It's also an advantageous shot to reach a par-5 green in two and set uphopefullya nice eagle opportunity.
The large clubhead and deeper box structure makes the broad sweet area of the shaft, forged by soft iron, possible . TheTaylormade R9 Fairway woodbalance weight design, by adopting tungsten steel alloy in the middle of its bottom, realizes the much lower center of gravity and higher MOI(moment of inertia).Restrain the sway by hitting, bring forceful flight and extend the flight distance
To perform this shot, I start with a slightly open stance and a ball position that allows me to pick it cleanly off the turf (which is just to the right of a normally teed golf ball). As far as posture goes, I follow David Leadbetter's recommended three to five percent body tilt to the right. Setting up with my right shoulder slightly lower than the left (reverse for left-handers) allows me to load up and fully extend my arms on the backswing.
During the takeaway, keep the feet and legs as quiet as possibleyou'll need a solid foundation to support the power of this Mizuno MP-62 Iron Set. Concentrate on rotating your torso, and don't be afraid to turn your back to the target. For control, stop your backswing so that the clubshaft lies just short of parallel at the top.
Now, things get fun. From the top, the key is to simply turn back toward the target. As you do, use the ground to push off and transfer your weight to the inside of your left foot. Your hip rotation should follow this move quickly and power the hands and clubhead into the impact zone.
