The great Ben Hogan came up with an image that works really well in this part of the game. He told players to imagine a plane of glass running from just outside the ball up towards his neck. The idea was that by swinging underneath the glass you can shallow out the plane of your swing - ideal for improving your performance with your fairway woods.

You can use Hogan's image as you practice by placing a stick in the ground at the angle shown here. Simply set the stick parallel to the angle of the shaft at address - it should point towards the top of your chest. Hit a series of shots swinging the club beneath the angle of the stick. This drill will really help you find that shallow angle of attack and sweeping strike that is so important to consistent fairway wood play.
