    I shoot anywhere from 73 to 83, but have a pretty respectable short game. My bad days are generally from inconsistent ball striking. Now, I know why. I'm guilty of BOTH of these setup errors. Ball too far away(reaching), and too far back in my stance. Thanks guys. Best channel on UA-cam.

    This video could have been made for me!! Some of Shaun's first comments in my video lesson last week: "Handle too far in front of the ball at address and stand a bit taller (therefore a little closer to the ball)"😁
    Stood in the wind & rain yesterday doing the drill he set me for 3 hours and found that I had to move my ball position up to accommodate the fact I'm now finally doing these things properly. As I always struggle for consistent compression with an early release, I'd always pushed my hands forward at address and ball further back in stance in an effort to get better ball/turf contact. At first the set up felt totally alien to me and there were a lot of bad shots but when it began to get more familiar, ball striking was good and starting on target again. Now I just need to fix the swing 🤣 Great video and you boys need to send some of that sunshine over to Scotland please 😁

    Excellent video and explanation, especially the common flaw where players move the ball back in their stance thinking they are creating shaft lean and compression. I was wondering if you could expand on this for uneven lies, especially downhill lies. Are there any tips or drills that you could show?

    Thank you for this video! I'm a beginner golfer and am having a tough time with making the move from "L to L" to a full swing. Your videos have been a revelation with respect to what my hips and body should be doing. I'm still struggling to find how to hit through the ball, and a lot of my swings seem to be coming back down to the starting position from the backswing. I'm also really tall, which is a problem with actually finding contact. Got any videos for people like me?

    Fantastic video. By his high standards, Jack Nicklaus went into a nearly two-year slump from around 1969 (though it may have been 1979) from which he could not figure out how to escape. Completely frustrated, Nicklaus paid a visit to his boyhood instructor, Jack Grout. After watching Nicklaus hit a few shots, Grout asked Nicklaus to address the ball. Grout then stepped on Nicklaus's golf ball and spun it along the ground a very short distance towards the target. Grout, from what I understand, then said, "That should do it." And apparently it did.

    • @winstonsmith11
      @winstonsmith11 3 роки тому

      Love the comment, but I have doubts about "approximately one rotation". The circumference of a golf ball is just over 5-1/4". That would be a massive change in ball position. Especially for a guy like Jack. That minor detail aside, the story speaks volumes.

    Really enjoyed this video. Been working to rebuild my golf swing and used all of February to work on re-centering (took lots of buckets of balls from this former load-up-on-the-rear-foot-and-push-off golfer). This video brought everything together and helped me hit the sweet spot >80% of the time as opposed to ~50%. But one thing I've noticed is my draw of 30+ years has turned into a slight fade. No complaints, as I am hitting it longer and with more control. But why did the ball flight change? Thanks for all the work you've done via your videos to help revitalize my game.

    • @AthleticMotionGolf
      @AthleticMotionGolf  3 роки тому

      would need to see the swing to know for sure. If its a solid shot then the face is sligtly open to the path. A baby fade is a nice way to play :)

    So....having the ball forward makes complete sense, as the pelvis will be over the ball (correlating to the bottom of the swing arc) when the proper forward shift is done....got it. My question is: is the ball positioned under the logo for every iron? or is the logo position for perhaps the 7-iron, and then move the ball (slightly forward or slightly back) based on the particular club? If the concept is correct but it is not the 7-iron to have the ball directly under the shirt logo, which club would it be?
    Thanks in advance! I learn so much from your videos, as I am really "practicing" for the first time.

  • @bodynfocus
    @bodynfocus 7 місяців тому

    Interesting dilemma: range practice vs course. A lot of times, the angles established on the practice range help your setup (visually) and you'll find you hit things great. That all changes on the course as orientation is continually changing. Must focus on what that good setup FEELS like ... and be able repeat that on the course. On the range use multiple targets and try not to hit to one place the entire session.
