This works, I had been struggling with consistency hitting my 2 hybrid closed the face more today and hit a draw 220 yds to reach a par 5 in 2 which is something I never do. Struggled with chipping last rd re-watched the chipping video got up and down 4 times today on my way to the best rd I have shot in several years 44/36 80.
Sweet!!!👌👌
Hi Shawn. I hope there’s a bit of gold in this video but I’m not quite clear on something….at about 17 minutes or so you were talking about a sawing motion with an ‘in to out’ path I think. Can you elaborate? It is confusing to me what you mean.
I understand it better for an out to in swing with the face open as the heel comes in first and saws across the ball. I wasn’t 100% clear what you were doing during this part of the video. Were you trying to show the toe approaching first with the in to out? Whatever it was it worked brilliantly I just want to make sure I get the right picture in my mind.
We are simply letting the swing move over the intermediate point; no “in to out” or “out to in” business; I had just mentioned that when Mu had the face too open, the TENDENCY WAS TO COMPENSATE AND SWING TO THE RIGHT TO PREVENT THE BALL FROM GOING TO THE LEFT. Otherwise just enjoy the goldie locks moments of too open and too closed!😀👍
Got it. I tend to have some difficulty with the driver/3W and the draw. Something is short circuiting and I feel like I can not get out that draw IP. I just can’t see the picture well. I end up playing a cut.
Not a problem usually but would love to add that capability to my bag. Was hoping this was the nugget.
What I have found recently is that trail hand release is huge for the driver. What is particularly weird is the draw fits my eye much better with the irons. Confused? I am…but really enjoy the videos. Helped me immeasurable.
This is why most PGA tour players prefer to hit fade with woods and draw with irons; because the woods require a ball position that is farther forward (fade flavour) and you are farther from the ball and the side vision infects the set up even more for a fade propensity.
Thanks Shawn… good to know that is normal and I’m not alone!
Hi Shawn, When the video shifted to Mu and he was hitting the 8 iron flop shot, you asked if it felt he was hitting the in the center or on the toe. He said center.
For flop shots in general, should we cut the stem and feel the ball off the toe?
Only of you tend to hit it in the heel! 😝
Mu has long arms and tends to not deploy them enough at address and when delivering through the ball to the target, tends to hit closer to the heel.
Hi Shawn …really great stuff ! Regarding longer clubs (3 wood-Long Hybrids) would I still Shut the Face same as irons ?
Hi Allen! Depends on the gear you have; some more closed, some more open and some the same; the way you find out is dynamically after you deliver your action into the picture and observe the flight patterns. See “goldie locks series” and “draw fine tuning” videos!
Shawn you did this to me a long time ago at RHGC. I thought WHAT THE! Well I found that the crazy closed setup was accepted by my brain and eyes when I was able to comprehend and use the feeling of the kinetic chain and the weight of the ACU creating the DYNAMIC result at the dandelion stem. Crazy closed static= partial closed dynamic= nice draw. Squarish static at address = dynamic fade still with some compression.
Watching Pros on tv they all seem square at setup. If I do, I screw up the dynamic strike and lose the intermediate point because my problems are right under my nose= pull hook to prevent slice or swipe across the ball dynamic open face=big slice.
Great stuff.. Thanks.
HEY EVERYBODY!! Read this post from Dr. Moody!
