I’m trying to figure whether over the top is my issue, or why I keep slicing even short clubs. I try following the tips of face/grip relationship, intermediate point and so on. But to avoid the right spin, my blade has to be extremely closed and it will still start too much to the right. I cannot figure what the main issue is. Ideas?
Hello Patrik! Did you see the latest “slice and pull series”; perfect for you!!😀👍
This one is PURE GOLD!
For me, I was going to ask about what I see when I am ready to go.
I am almost afraid to Look up and see my target once I have my IP “cause everything looks way off” , feels I am going so-right.
At 5.45 you addressed it, as if you were telling me. So I did perform the arc blur over the ball but I have stopped looking up once I am set, specially on the uncomfortable shots, is that a good thing or will I eventually get used to seeing the right when I look up?
Also go-pro over the top my driver looks way more closed, yours looked almost open, was it the camera angle?
Good! Stay with it! The side vision will always be this way; we cannot undo 100’s of Thousands of years of evolution! 👍😝 You cannot compare what our Drivers look like at address; very different for everyone!
I’m with you amarjot. I sometimes just have the picture in my head but with practice I’ve been able to look up before swinging.
shawn,should my belt buckle face target on finish
Not a fan of that one; it is too incomplete; see the “width of stance and finish position” video as well as the “stick your finish despite the ball series”
Hey Shawn! Been working alot on my game and feeling im striking the ball alot better, but just cant seem to get rid of my outside/in swing path. Not sure where to turn or what drills would best help me fix this! Thanks!
Hey Gerald! Ok, you are striking it better but what is the flight doing? Are you starting it on the line you want and is it curving the way you want it to? Are the divots deep or shallow? Is the flight of the ball too low or too high? Give me an example with a 7 iron; what does a successful 7 iron shot look like to you?
Typical shot with a 7 iron is usually pretty high and sweeps from left to right. There tends to be a lot of side spin. Divots show that im coming over the top on it. Thanks for the help!
Ok, that helps! First thing you need to do is learn how to HOOK THE SNOT out of the ball by closing the face of the club past 45 degrees. Set up with a ball on a low tee with the 7 iron. You will look down on the club and ball and feel very strange. Eyes will be on the sliver of grass between the leading edge of the club and the ball. Imagine teeth on the club’s leading edge ready to saw through the tee from toe to heel and the task is going to be to whip through this sawing action in the direction over the intermediate point right there in front of the ball no more than a foot away. You want to be able to hook 5 to 10 shots way left and see the ball curve to the left as well; these will be pull hooks. THEN, the brain can PREDICT that when you close the face that much, there WILL BE a curve to the left. NOW CAN SWING TO THE RIGHT OF THE INTERMEDIATE POINT AND KNOW THAT THE BALL WILL COME BACK ON TARGET-OTT GONE!!😀👍
See “working the ball” and “draw fine tuning” as well as “how to match backswing to ball direction” and really polish the “release” by searching the word “release” in the search box and see all of them as this will allow you to do this without the extremely closed face.
Amazing! Thank you! I will work on this tomorrow! Love the videos!
Great drill!
Glad you like it Steve! 👍😀
