I know the terminology now. Thanks . In before , I trained too hard to remember, think and make sure my stroke which wasn’t quite right 😅
Hi Shawn,
Still struggle to hit draws. Either am too scared to go right of target. The ones which I think will draw go dead straight.
Other than that games improving on a weekly basis.
Hi Shawn. I have figured out the “task” pretty well – for me it’s either throwing the club in intended direction, or slinging/slashing. What I struggle with is a consistent low point. I am aware of the goldilocks principle – swing above the ball to miss it, top it, thin it, flush it. For me, it seems like I need to hover the club way above the height of the ball in order to hit a flush shot. Anything lower means a fat shot because I am contacting the ground behind the ball, even BEFORE my low point. But when it works well, the shots are bloody great. The hard part is knowing consistently how high to hover my club above the ground, especially as I switch between irons. Any tips? If it helps, I usually play a draw with my ball slightly back of centre. Appreciate it and thanks for the awesome channel!
Right on Shing! Yes, I have an amazing suggestion! Please see the “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” and on the #6 video, you will see me walking while sending divots into the bushes; you will see that the centre of the stance is the point where the grass always starts to get cut from without fail; as long as the focus is to send the grass clippings towards the direction of flight. You can do this with the “perpetual motion drill” as well. Then see “stick your finish despite the ball” series and the sending of the grass clippings is in there too. Now, when executing the shots, the intermediate point is key to Centring the arc-blur of the swing; see “alignment reload” then “blur of club” then “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” which will centre your head and allow the head to anchor the arc because you are staying with the direction of the shot! The better you stay with your direction, with momentum, the more consistent the low point will be!
Thanks Shawn! I’ve done the walking drill (it’s my fave, takes the thinking out of the swing) to good success. The “issue” comes when I am addressing the ball, let’s say at the tee box on a par3. The main point I was trying to highlight is that if I hover the club off the ground at address I get a clean/flush shot – but while there are many out there who perhaps hover the clubhead just slightly above the grass behind the ball, for me it seems I have to hover it way higher – maybe the height of 1.5 balls. 😂 Is that just how I could be built and one of those “whatever works for me” things?
Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson do the same, so you are not alone! The key is where the club wants to be when you deliver your action into the flight plan. I have demonstrated several times to my students where I place my stance where the club will be tracking, then start the club in all kinds of goofy places and strike it pure on 95% of them. You are enjoying a fun conundrum! 😀👍
