I found this video from a 2018 lesson I had with Jimmy Ballard; I first started working with Ballard in 1995 so this is one of many lessons I have had with him over the years. However, in 2018 I played pretty well and what stood out from watching this was that the year before JB had me make 2 Split Grip Practice swings before each full shot; Curtis Strange made split grip practice swings back in 1988 and 1989 when he won back to back US Open’s. In 2018 I won the National Pro Scratch at Sycamore Hills CC in Indiana with Brandon Matthews as my partner and I made 2 split grip practice swing before each full shot that entire year and I played pretty well!
