Hi Shawn,
For in between shots for example, my pw goes 125y, my 9i 145y.
I had a shot of 135y. I used my 9i. For many years I could manipulate my backswing, and somehow get these in between shots. Recently the game is going so good (broke 80 twice), but I just didn’t know what to do. Tried shortening my backswing , and full follow through I pulled it, I tried to hit it easy I pushed it. When I hit it with the full swing I flew the the flag and landed 10 yards too long. Any video I can see where we can use the same club to hit different distances?
Same task; just softer! Send grass with softer momentum; throw the club less far; stop thinking about how long your backswing is because that is a distraction that takes you away from the target.
Tes, absolutely, spot on shortening the back swing felt like manipulation. And realised thinking of how much to take away completely takes your mind of the ip, throwing the club, and target! Homework for the weekend, try softer shots with diff clubs with full swing. Thank you.
There you go! Enjoy! 👌👍
Been trying softer shots Shawn, but just unable to finish the shot when its an in between club, subconsciously body does not want to hit it too far, I end up blocking to the right always. Am stuck on a couple of things and this is one of them.
Simply let the momentum go and see what happens for you; if you go long, you go long and just adjust 1 more club; the key is to let momentum do it’s thing without any interference.
Successful golf swings promote trust in my swing. Having a routine that produces a target, flight plan, intermediate point and task promotes successful golf swings. When I start a round my first 2-4 shots are usually “shaky” until I nut one and then I feel like I’m going to nut them all. Looking forward to building enough trust to start a round with solid shots.
Good stuff! Are you able to get a proper warm up before each round?
Usually can and that helps but the delay between warm up and start of round or even slow play and having to wait a long time between shots will make things shaky again. Ha ha, you have improved my swing so much I’ve gone from short driver to longest and now have to wait and wait for playing partners to hit their second shot before I can hit mine. Am thinking that more time with improved swing is going to eventually give me trust in it (after reasonable warm up) to trust it at all times.
It’s really true. I feel like I can trust and predict solid contact/ball flight. Not many really bad miss hits and really intuitive way to swing! Question: how do you develop a way to know where low point will be? And when the lie is uneven what is the fastest way to know where that low point is?
We have great videos for that! See or search “arc blur” and “unstoppable momentum” as well as “downhill shot” and “uphill shot” which you will see has the same ball position and therefore the same ease in seeing where the low point of the blur is when DELIVERING TO THE TARGET like in the overhead views of the “kinetic chain engagement series” part 6
Really cool stuff! The end goal of this will be to make the brain connections strong enough to be able predict low points no matter the lie using the blur exercises/drills as reference to build up the skill?
