When the ball is above my feet, do I also need to pick an intermediate target spot and get the swing to flow over or a little to the right of that intermediate spot in addition to throwing the club out toward a down range target that is right of my intended shot direction?
Hey Dan! Remember, THERE IS NO COMPENSATION FOR DIRECTION WHEN YOU ARE DELIVERING INTO THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO START THE BALL WHILE IN SOLID BALANCE!!
So if you are doing a draw, aim where you want the ball to end, play the ball a hair back of centre and release into the direction you want to start the ball. Use the intermediate point to help you line up and deliver in that direction. Intermediate point do not have to be directly in line BTW! If the intermediate point is a bit too far right, aim left of it and release over it.
I’m a RH player and have gone thru the position videos and still have a question on hitting shots on hills / significant slopes. When the ball is above the feet / laying on the side of a hill, 9 out 10 times, the ball goes significantly left of target. My thinking is the natural loft the club, when hitting off the side of the hill, will naturally send it left, versus straight up in the air. Same question will ball below feet and the tendency that ball will go right of target. Thank you.
This is when you want to use the prediction process BASED ON AN ACTION THAT IS THROUGH to the target. With ball above feet, and your balance is shaky, and you release AT THE BALL, it will go left for sure.
If you stay balanced and through, with prediction that your club face is closed enough to deliver to the target with ball below feet, it will fly true and not go right. There videos, together with “the goldie locks series” and “predict contact” will get you to where you need to go. 😀👍
Thanks for the explaination. What do I change when the ball is above my feet und the slop is uphill or downhill?
Did you see the videos for those?? Very important that you see them as this is one of the things that is the MOST POORLY TAUGHT IN GOLF. Ball positions will be in relation to the shot you want to hit, draw or fade. Please see those videos!
When you plan to hit a draw, and you say close the face a little, how do you do that? Do you use a stronger grip (see 4 knuckles of left hand)? Or something else like use the standard 3 knuckles and really close the club face at address? Thanks.
See “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement” on youtube; also see the other grip videos on premium; you must let go of the grip, turn the handle and then re-grip. Will feel different big time but it will not prevent you fro whipping!
