Another helpful series. I practice a lot in my living room with foam balls and a mat. Ball position is one that I can really get a feel for as I hit the jackets hanging on the back of the door as I target left, right and center. I will have to wait to get to the range to Goldilocks the club face and see the ball flight, although I have been making adjustments to the face based on the direction the ball leaves after impact. The question I have is; for posture and levels and distance to the ball, am I wrong to determine those with my PMD before and during my address to the ball? I have been setting my distance to the ball by standing a little taller over the ball and observing the blur?
Great question Brad!! Some of my students when doing the PMD are mot engaging the kinetic chain enough into the direction they want the grass clippings to go (see “kinetic chain facilitation and engagement series” especially #6) and because they stay tall, the club tends to pass too close to the body and the distance to ball is compromised. So “goldilocks” to the rescue! When you gage that distance to ball, you are feeling “momentum already there before you start the swing” (great video series) and you are determining and predicting if your distance to ball will allow the arms and club to swing past you freely without you feeling the need to reach out (too far from ball) or hang on or stand up or jump out of the way (too close to the ball)
It is really magic feeling like you can’t miss when standing over the ball; just amazing; and you are looking with “interest curiosity” as to how close that shot will get to the hole or centre of fairway. Stay on it! 😀👍
Hi Shawn, regarding the fade, I was trying to keep the club open and yes instead of going left and coming back It either starts right or goes straight left.
Have watched all the videos on fade and have been trying hard, does help if I keep the grip pressure every gentle.
But what’s happening is if I am standing to the target and take the IP, My ip becomes right of my target. From there I throw the club left of the Ip with face dynamically square or slightly closed, makes my ball start left and stay left. I tried to get the feeling of sawing which results in fade yes, but goes way short with a lot of manipulation.
Help! My course had a lot of holes which are fade biased.
Always use momentum to deliver all tasks; no manipulation; if you throw the club in the direction you want to start the ball and the speed is nicely past and through the ball and the ball still does not fade, open the face more, aim more left and throw until it starts bending right after starting left.
