As my swing has improved and no more over the top, I am finding it extremely difficult to fade the ball more than 3-4 yards with 7 iron and less (even going feet together and trying different clubface/ball position combos). It’s a good problem to have except with a right pin and a right to left wind.
I remember on your youtube channel at TXG your shafts were causing you difficulty fading. I ask because I have the same shafts and swing speed so I’m trying to determine if the issue could be equipment or if it’s just due to the higher lofts (my 7 iron is 35 degrees) causing less spin axis when open.
So do I have to open up a 5 iron to hit a bubba fade or is it possible with a shorter iron? 😛
The TXG episode was an isolated incident; I do better with better targets out there and was still strugling with the lack of targets in that screen! Best is to do some goldie locks and go to the extremes; and yes, the higher the loft the tougher it is to fade!
Funny follow-up to this comment; my technique wasn’t the problem at all! Ian at TXG recently fit me through the bag and we found that I had outgrown my s300s and they were releasing too soon, plus got everything 2 degree flat. Now I’m back to being able to hit all kinds of fades!
How about that! Way to go Ian and it again prooves that we are not defective huh!? 😝👍
Shawn, you spoke about the club bottoming out in front of the ball, I’m struggling with this, when I set my upper back to make swing I feel like I hitting under the ball rather than in front of the ball. So I’m confused on how to setup properly and compress the ball correctly!

Hey Peter! Set up against a door frame; place the ball against it and see how you need to set up to be able to compress the ball through that door frame without hitting the floor first!
Just finished a round with my best score ever after playing for a year now. Shot a 90 and I will definitely attest to the sheer brillance of Goldilocks. Prior to using Goldilocks I had trouble consistently hitting the ball pure as they say. After seeing how Shawn uses Goldilocks I decided to put it to the test. It has truely helped me from my driver to my wedges. Thanks Shawn!
We have an amazing machine! Fun how you can actually feel how you get locked in on a shot!!
Way to go Hervey!
It’s been a revelation for me… Goldilocks is truly the secret to solid ball striking. From driver to putter – go through the process and you’ll understand that the picture of the shot you’ve envisioned can only be produced if you put the “machine” in the right position to create it.
Yeah Mike!! She is the bomb baby!!!
I must admit that Goldilocks was never my favorite children’s tale. Abnoxious little girl taking advantage of the 3 bears…however…in golf she is the bomb. Finding the optimal posture, distance to ball, and takeaway path to fit the downswing and especially in putting to gauge the acu pendulum.
