Ever say to yourself, “feels like all my irons go the same distance.”
You might be scooping v. actually compressing the ball. You might get away with scooping the ball sometimes but sometimes doesn’t really work if you want to play your best golf.
Before addressing this student’s tendency to scoop, we worked set up and grip:
- Got rid of C posture. Straight spine and way more tilt at address ✅
- Feeling a more “sitting position” ✅
- 60/40: 60% pressure on that lead foot & 40% pressure on that back foot ✅
- Grip adjustment: too strong to start. Grip changes are hard. I only will make those if we do not have a REPEATABLE SHOT PATTERN ‼️moved to a more neutral grip ✅
Next we didn’t hit balls right away. These were all new positions/feels ‼️Start with practice swings. Then we got into one of my favorite drills: half swing, hit the brakes on the forward swing, and feeling like you are going to hit it low.
THUMP THAT TURF! You might even hit it heavy to start but that’s part of the process. You can hear the difference in this before and after. In the second clip wrist angles are maintained, set up is so much cleaner, and now we are learning what it actually means to hit a golf shot 🙌🏼
