All right so I’m here with Dan Dan’s out from St Louis so in preparation for a big guy’s trip to abandon Dunes he wanted to come out and get a little overhaul going so he doesn’t he sucks less and promised if I’m ever in St
Louis that he’s going to take me to find the best barbecue best barbecue Dan came out we’re GNA kind of as I’m explaining this I’m going to kind of show his before swing up on the screen here we’re going to kind of Replay that over and over now Dan you’re
You said you’re about a 15ish or so index and the goal is to be a n a nine is the is be a good starting step for let’s say this year and then hope but hopefully the way we’re doing things where no Band-Aids here this is like
We’re trying to do everything as good as it can be done to where there’s no ceiling correct your first swing that I filmed and you can see number one the club face is super duper open throughout the swing so the first thing we talked about was the face is really open
Throughout the swing because the grip is really on the weak side so it makes the club face really open and then you had to we talked about how you had to really fight the hands over this way in order to square the face and yet even with all that fighting to get
The face square off of the weaker grip you still had a really hard time missing it high right so despite the ab the attempt to turn the face over it wasn’t enough and generally speaking you were going high ride especially with the longer clubs you were really slicing it
A ton of spin uh Dan’s got enough Club head speed to be a plus golfer no problem he’s got almost tour amount of speed with the iron crazy amount of speed effortlessly so there’s no problem there now it’s about he said I’d love to hit a 300 yard Drive
Someday and you might I told you you might already have the speed to do that since that takes maybe 105 106 mil an hour to touch 300 yards but you got to have to have the right launch and spin combination so we talked about strengthening the grip which of course
Is going to make the feeling of squaring the face quite different it’s what we talked we’ve talked about a lot of different mental images like skipping a rock throwing a frisbee um cutting something with a knife this way slamming a door a lot of different mental images that I threw at
You the last couple days and but you’re starting to kind of figure out your own translation of all those things so these are just jumping off points you know you shouldn’t adhere to something an instructor tells you if you can find something an idea that works better to do the same movement you
Want to do your own thing that you can relate to so the result is instead of the face going really open to closed through the Impact Zone we’re going to get a face that’s a little bit more square and exiting Square even though to you it feels severely closed to severely
Open because you have such a history of working your forearms over so hard so that was our first idea is we’re going to get a strong stronger grip back to more neutral again and of course that’ll change the hand action necessary to square the face remember at
First what you were doing when we strengthened the grip you were hooking the crap out of it just hooking the crap out of it okay so then the next thing we saw that the track man was telling us that your average swing was like 6° out
To in so too much out to in probably to play really good golf that’s probably a little too much so we wanted to get some swings where you experience swinging on the inside out we did that with the bucket and the stick drill um that you guys have probably seen before done a
Number of uh videos using the bucket and stick to force you to swing on the inside now the great thing about Dan took him about five swings to get way on the inside he never touched the stick he had too much in out I took it away and
He just remembered so it doesn’t happen that fast usually and so the trip the trip was worth that alone even though I got more so now now we’ve combined coming more from the inside with a stronger grip and you could see right away he started hitting everything really fat and hooking it
Just pull hooking it badly with the closed face which leads us to the second half and of course all of a sudden I I told him you’re like this this extravagant invention that’s all balanced out all the different parts are balanced out and as soon as we kick one over the whole
Equation’s got doesn’t matter where we start we were going to knock the equation out out of balance so you look at the next thing we’re looking at here and you see that in relationship to the chair that we always use uh he’s moving about 4 in forward with his hips which prevents him
From rotating so Dan you remember what you described to me as how your contact always was like until you got here like it hasn’t been like that after the first half hour we’ve been striking always thin always clicky so even your nickname was clicky was clicky because everything
Was like a Groove low uh never any divots just a sweeper and trackman was telling us that his low point was simply not far enough forward and so of course you start swinging inside out with a stronger grip and you’re working the forearms over and you’re really going to get a fat drop
Kick hook a lot of shots more on the toe and he was hitting them just left of left and so we got to balance the equation back out again with a pivot where the rear end stays back allowing you to rotate the chest way more and get the path the handle path
Going around to the left and that just balanced the equation out quite nicely because we spent the latter half of yesterday with you know perfect lowo location and really good path the path was hovering around zero or a couple degrees into out the angle of attack was
Right in the corridor where the pros on TV would do it and you were remarking about the contact of a sudden was just 9 and the distance that you were getting you were compressing it a lot better we saw way higher smash factor numbers and uh everything sounded so
Much different better and so you must have been experiencing some really nice sounds I haven’t heard in 24 solid solid hitting okay let’s bring the chair in and why don’t you just show them the um the the half swing practice swings you’ve been working on so we have what
We’re now calling a strongest grip so he’s got the left thumb is turned over uh he can go a little more on the left hand yes okay so he’s turned over um at least an hour on each hand on the grip so right now you can turn the left hand a little more
Over that’s right that’s crazy huh okay so that’s a little bit on the strongish side where he’s got the creases you want to turn and face the camera just for a second and you see it’s not overly strong really it’s a little stronger than neutral but it’s a good place to
Practice that but about of course what does this feel like to you it feels really foreign right like you could really turned it over on accident okay and so show them on the chair everything put together those really slow motion practice swings just halfway back halfway through good and so what we’re working
On here really nailing down is this release action where we’re going to come around this way more now you see he’s exited more low and left and you might not see it from this camera angle but he’s now flapping his right wrist into what we’d call Mild
Flexion right RI or left wrist is pinned back and extension but we want to be able to have the club face pointing more back at the camera over here rather than Towing down like that so that would be too much face closure likely through the Impact Zone this would be a square
Face to the arc where the arc is currently right now in this point in the swing so we’re working on right now is working on the the feeling of flapping the wrist through for Speed while keeping it Square to the arc and exiting low and left enough like
That so show them a couple more practice swings slow and easy 10% small lift big lift okay let me see now that’s holding on to the wrist let me see you flap it through that’s right that’s right so we we’ll be able to see it come out from
Behind your back if you do that good flap okay so that’s flapping toe down too much so that means you the right forearm would have done more of this action so let’s flap it through face up okay you held on to it so that’ be like if we’re playing baseball that’d be
A check swing that’s right got okay so let’s feel that again it’s going to be flap very free flap all the way to here so show me that again so still trying to nail down this release the hand action that’s going to go along with the release there there
There so that just felt like you know taking the baseball bat and slapping it through small lift big lift of the chair great now you’re actually exiting you showed me an exit that’s finally too low in left which I love to see on the practice swings cuz that’s what we got
To work on more okay let’s show a few few more kind of slow and easy small lift big lift that’s terrific and so with the grip being so far over to the right of course if you’re used to working this forearm over hard you’re still it’s it’s hard to get
Out of that first and so what we what the challenge has been is to take that strongest grip and just like we were talking about all the other people Duval JB Holmes a lot of golfers that you’ve heard of have gone taken a strong grip and Faded the ball so that’s our
Challenge right now is to get the forearm working under as we go around to the left in his mind very slicy for a lot of people uh watching but for him since he used to working it this way working that forarm under like pitching a screw ball is quite extreme so go
Ahead and pitch a few balls now he’s gonna try to stick on the chair and increase the pressure going back lift the chair going through this is going to be like a 75 yard pitch with a nineiron real slow and easy okay okay we’ll try it again on the
Strike of the ball now again this is why Dan is so high percentile because he was able to strike the ball fairly well pretty quickly but a lot of you out there then this is not normal most people out there will struggle with contact with any kind of change they
Make but you still got to change if you’re going to get better okay pretty good so here what we’re trying to do we know that on his back swing in the first video we looked at and one of the things we have working been working on is keeping the rump
Back on his back swing typically he would move forward 2 in and then forward two more inches on the down swing and this is really typical pattern for someone who early extends is to go forward to set up the downswing just like a base stealer will did a little extra step and
A little bit of a lean you’ll hedge in the direction that you’re going to move in the downswing we always do stuff in the back swing to make what we’re going to do in the downswing easier we set it up for it so the command he’s giving himself is increase the
Pressure going back and then lift it out right going through okay really good move let’s go ahead and do that again with um just have to you like the ball there is that okay doesn’t matter you put it where you want we have to position this one tighter it’s your high-tech anti- shank
Device okay good stronger grip fade spin terrific so get a little more rotation super actually hit a little bit of cut spin there so stronger grip in hitting a cut is not Supernatural for you see we have a lot of different elements here we’ll see what your path and angle
Of attack are now as original angle of attack was 6° out to in but only like one degree downwards with an eight iron Off the Wall too much and short of the post so a pivot error remember how I would hold the noodle yep okay let’s go a
Little narrower on the feet and you’ll get there more easily strongest grip now let’s see you concentrate on posting your hip super swing okay so post up and turn good okay so I want to show people something here the shaft at the moment we got to
Keep working on this this is this is appears to be cuz everything else you’ve done you’ve pulled off reasonably well but this one thing that shaft had a little bit ver was a little vertical at the end with the toe a little bit shut so face face that way for a second and
Put the club just in your left hand only actually you can do can do both for a second so from the face on the shaft ending up like that at impact would be holding the right wrist and turning and then flipping the toe over this way so
That’s how the shaft will get exactly how you did that’s the combination of movement that we had to make the shaft look just like this so you can see right here that this wrist is in an extension slightly and of course you will have turn the shaft so you see holding that
Right wrist into EX in extension this curve in the wrist right here normally that would make you come in with the club face open you see that so the hands are nicely ahead like some people like to see them a lot of forward lean but now you got to put
In this and so instead what we’re trying to do is flap the wrist into flexion so that we don’t we can square it up without having to turn the shaft over so come back around here again and let’s going to show them the before and after that we’re going for so what you
Just did look look more like this okay that was the follow through that we just did we’re trying for if you were to Flap without turning the shaft’s going to come out where we’d like to see it come out is parallel to the shoulders right out at the bottom of the
Sleeve so from the camera view that club’s coming just below the sleeve with the face pointing back at the camera so that is what we would describe as shaft is on continues to circle on plane get released on plane with the face tracking Square to the arc the whole way so we’re
Trying to Flap it low left can you concentrate on that for a few hits softly let me see you free flap it around low left do yeah do the practice swing first and hold it we’ll check it okay hold it there now everyone from this angle and I
Can see that that club is coming out parallel to your shoulders just below the sleeve and the toe is just a little more closed than we would like it it’s pretty good open it up a little bit yes yes okay show me a swing and pause it right there excellent excellent job
Rotate wonderful wonderful exit okay so now the next step when you’ve done that a couple times to your liking and now you know how to kind of stop halfway and pose and you know what your check marks are your check marks are that face is pointing this way the club shaft is
Flapped through at an angle and now we’re going to do it with the ball in the way very softly very slowly so keep it keep the length of swing down and hold your finish again that is just one of the best swings so far absolutely brilliant not a not an accident that
That went so clean and straight flap around to the left oh so good so again a little baby open face cut which we’re really liking when you’re airing on that side of the curve rather than continuing kind of to hook it okay so again we have
Uh we have a path of zero and instead of only a one degree down strike now with a nineiron we’re down to a 5 degree down strike so we’re right in our Corridor for exactly what we would say our good player model is so we’re just taking
Like the tour averages and we’re just calling that our good player database where we would like to be somewhere in the vicinity of these with our trackman numbers okay so we have a closed pH face there and see you can see how the exit was more towed down
And very easy to fall back into reflex habits when you add any speed to it it’s crazy how easy so now that you’ve seen that one let’s make an adjustment flap it through with the face more open much much better only a little hook now again you’re your path is straight
Enough but the face was 2° shut so we need to find 2° more under with the flap of the forearm Super again path is very straight uh 1° out to in angle of attack 4 and 1/2 down so with a nine iron we’d say our probably our our Corridor would be somewhere around 3 and 1/2 to 5 1/2 degrees downwards strike with the nine iron um but what we really like about
That one is that you left the face slightly open to get some fade spin so we’re working counter everything we’re doing with our drills is to work counter to what Dan’s uh natural instinct is so for example show them the the chair lift so we’re doing a what we call a trino
Style chair lift just real slow small lift big lift and flap it through flap the club around to the left further there we go good so instead of going 4 in forward we’re going to practice going a minimum of 1 in backwards because that is our good player average in the
Database so if you can even beat one inch backwards that would be good too that’s super and what we’re doing there essentially is go ahead and take it back and stop halfway what this move is freeing up for us he right now temporarily his right uh left butt
Cheek is circling off the wall down and around to wind him up his thigh and his knee are actually in the way of where we want the club to go so we have to put this butt cheek and this knee back in order to free up this space because this
Is where the handle needs to circle around so slowly start to post up and lift the chair there now the left the left side the knee and the thigh and the hip have all cleared out of the way and now we have room to send the handle around the
Ark so we can get a straight path lots of speed and lots of squaring force and that’s what that move is four so important to get the left hip posting up so we’re going 6 in this way 1 in this way meanwhile the head stays back in the
Center of the feet so really good look at the body position here and we just add that release to it it always comes down to step and throw we talked about every swinging sport striking sport is step and throw in this case it’s going to be pivot and
Release but it’s just fancy words for saying step and throw step and strike it’s all the same okay let’s see um let’s see you go for one at 140 yard par three this is going to be a smooth nine Dan discovered yesterday that he can actually hit an ad IR on 170 yards
When he starts doing everything more efficiently okay try it again focus on your pivot as many tries as you want okay strongest grip small lift big lift oh yeah one of the best swings of the week right there that’s terrific so so there you got the face to
Be just 7 closed much better control and we’re on the left half of the green at 138 carry so you’re very very very good with your distance control let’s see if you can do that one more time with the face of the club maybe one more degree open flapping
Through so the pivot the chair is small lift going back big lift going through super lot of power there for just an easy smooth swing people will be very jealous at how far you’re hitting these and how fast you’re able to swing lift flap it through open yeah keep
Practicing this is why we’re practicing lots of dry swings that’s better because how many elements you drive yourself nuts with this is like Soup To Nuts fix it’s like an entire alphabet that’s like a it’s like a scroll it’s like you’re making the proclamation the king and the
Scroll rolls out and hits the floor of all the stuff that you’re trying to think of so what we’re doing with these dry swings we’re trying to put everything into one fluid motion that’s a great release let it flap through a little Freer and further beautiful exit that’s wonderful little Freer whip
Action okay so we’re just going to in our we’re going to intend on hitting the six iron about 120 or so or like we were hitting a 9 120 let’s see that you do that just easy swing very slow very good all right since Dan is
Trending just a little bit more down and across than we would like I’m going to remind him of the stick and bucket drill remember that okay so just all you got to do is think about staying inside the basket very good okay so more rotation out in front not
Enough strongest grip let’s focus on your pivot now you’re going to Pivot all the way to the post if you’re probably shorting it this way if you’re hitting them fat so forward and around very nice nice pivoting there that one’s right online and out and what people will be
Super jealous of Dan here is I mean that’s a six iron swinging at 50 60% I mean it’s not a full swing you’re almost feeling like you’re going in slowmo and yet that’s 88 M an hour Club head speed so uh the average on the PGA tour for a 6
Iron is somewhere 92 93 mph which you would be at if you just felt like it right now no problem cuz this is 88 so to put that in perspective an absolutely flush shot at 88 M hour with of six should net you about uh oh close to 185 yards or
More very good now don’t move so we’re going to take one more look at that club shaft finishing y so you can see this is going to be look at how good you’re doing posting now it may just be a matter of still choosing which part of
The Swing you’re going to lay most of your focus so you might go back and forth and do five or 10 in a row of each but we can see pretty much that you’re doing a lot better with this but this one is really a the sticking point so
You’re going to do be doing a lot of practice swings at home and in between golf balls to get away from this again this vertical shaft means that the it’s like a check swing and with a little bit of L toe twist this time but let’s take
A look at that exit again we’re coming around just like that just like that so this this wrist will be slightly this way this wrist will be pinned back pretty big yeah but the club will be the Golf Pride logo will be face up still instead of turn sideways it’ll be
Up okay so let’s see two practice swings above the ball with that Flappy open-faced exit and hold it so don’t hit this this time flap it around okay for your prer with the flap this way more hold it on to it that’s right okay much better all right let’s flap it around to
The left with the face Square much better that ball got hit didn’t it good we’ve got a little slice spin on that which is fine still again learning how to with the stronger grip is to get away from this cranking over action that we don’t need anymore making the face go open to
Square so in your ex feeling you’d feel like throughout the swing even right from the ticka away with the grip being stronger it’ll feel like the club goes back closed y rather than normal and coming down it will feel really off balance in a closed way oh yeah I I
Could I can understand the feeling that you might go be going through really difficult to figure out how much to you know how much you got to put in the stew all right so we can move this ball forward let’s just try moving it Forward about another two golf balls
Uhhuh just try one like that you should probably feel like it’s up off your left heel and it really isn’t okay slap it through to the left very good you understand the EV the ution here it’s so funny we talked about pairs of errors that your swing is built
On probably two or three perceptual errors that as an athlete you found the pairs you found since your grip was weak you figured out a way to best Square the face by rotating the forearms etc etc now in this case your angle of attack was was so
Lacking you’re like well I can’t hit it fat so slowly over time maybe without even thinking your ball position evolves further and further back you’re being an athlete trying to make it make it work and so you’ve got these two or three errors and rather than a lot of people
You don’t understand what your path is unless it gets measured or you know what to look for you have no idea what your path is uh but your path was quite a bit out to in ETC so you figure out how to make it all work when you’re an athletic
Person you’re just like well from what I know I mean I’m hitting it fat I’m gonna even if you don’t realize you start mching the ball so you have the six iron really Center and so this is might be a very new feeling I dare you to put it up
You like the ball that show me the distance you’re liking this thing okay that is actually a much much better six iron position where you’re at now you’re about oh 3 in from the left inep much more forward to you okay so we have too much great pivot
Too much toe roll or roll of the forearm and let’s do one more good one here put it more forward than that uh-huh uh-huh uhhuh even more even more okay and flap it through with the face more open strong strike huh so Dan’s a very strong dude I want
To say that probably got hit 180 yards with a half a swing yeah 184 carry on that but what we like better about these compared to the beginning like that one that six iron had a smash factor of 1.45 which is probably maxed out pretty close for these clubs but this is
Probably 8 to 10 points of Smash higher than where we started so the ball is really sailing now compared to what it was essentially we are compressing it way more striking closer to the center of the face rather than really low on the face one of the best swings you’ve
Made in front of me right there do it again and turn and flap that’s a really good golf swing let’s put some golf balls in front of that very gently now let’s say we’re going to have the intention of making this roll out to 200 yards so we’re talking about 160 or 70
In the air uh your first Focus right now is winning the money by being inside to out that’s going to be the money right now so just like the because you hit you’re hitting down and across yes you shouldn’t have any problem with this if you’re swinging under the stick and bucket
Okay good start again we would expect to see it I held on to it I didn’t FL we’d expect to see it pulling in hooking again we go back to and on a driver The Reflex of wanting to do this so much oh sure is going to be strong but we’re
Pretty good we’re pretty neutral there zero path slide up strike so we’re good MH so the ball went left cuz the face was 9° shut now even though your grip is 25° stronger biased we got to figure out how to make the club face open to the path anyway there you go nice
Drive good much better approach to the ball keep it at it if so therefore if we move this number to five to the right there’s a good chance this goes five up and you still at zero and that’s when you’re going to get your max distance out of it so look what I’m
Going to do watch what I do with the basket more see go easy and slow so you don’t wipe your shaft out on that uh stick it’s getting pretty tight now yep good pass at it nicely done we’ll do that let’s do that again again so at the at the moment
You’re now feeling like you’re really slinging it massively into out I would bet compared to what you’re used to yeah and does it feel very low down here behind you when it comes in doesn’t it yeah uhhuh okay stay right there for a sec couple things I want to do I’m going
To move this and I want you to walk an inch to your right with it uhhuh so the better ball position for more up strike and get ready second thing I’m going to do is just give you a little bit of a tilt and turn this way okay mhm what
That’s going to do is make it feel much more natural to get under the stick don’t worry about that now just give me an inch of tilt and turn to right field so turn to right field more hold it there so right now you’re a little bit in left
Field now you’re Square oh wow this is a square dri that’s Square Now watch how much more natural your Club wants to go back under the stick mhm okay miss the bucket and stick and you win the money ah very nice with the plane there can really tell now we’re now we’re cooking
So check out now you’re on the right plane see five to the right strange three up it’s only a path of 1.4 to the inside it’s the it’s how extreme sure so we’re going from at least 6° out to in on the driver yep yep and we’re going
Which means your swing plane was probably 8 9 10° to the left because the angle of attack the way it it weaves into the path now all of a sudden you’re Swinging with a swing plane of a few degrees to the right and it’s encouraging an up
Strike okay so walk walk behind the ball more so the ball is up off look look like looks like it’s off your pinky toe in your mind oh uh-huh it won’t be it’s not it’s a lie I got now hold it there now since this bucket and
Stick appear now to be so in the way and if you were to line up like this it really would be it’d be really awkward to miss it but if I can take you to here okay it’ll feel very natural to kind of Wally coock underneath that
Stick there you go so when’s the last time you hit a draw from the right never never hit that shot before one time so there were’re at uh a swing plan of just three only three to the right so a little bit inside out with a draw first time you’ve ever done
It so stick and bucket drill but you can see the little the little bit of adjustments that we’ve also made on top of the stick in the bucket we’re also getting the shoulders squared up and tilted a little bit right there now that feels like we’re going to call this
Right Center Field Upper Deck feels like you’re going to uppercut if this was baseball you’re going to hit it into right field and uppercut it does that make sense yeah so I want you to go with that feeling and go ahead and uppercut it to right field great
Super are going but I’m just focused on this that’s you’re doing it you’re you’re winning now it’s going off to the right let’s see if we can squeeze in another detail okay if you can you’re doing this yeah so right now at least you’re not combining but you are holding squeezing
Really tight so if you can just get a little bit Freer with the bat head so in other words you hit a short pop fly to right center field because you checked your swing it was an excuse me blooper yep so go let’s get you set in that
Upper Deck right field position again here now this time I want you to give it the old Kirk Gibson rib wrist SWAT okay and I want you to throw the batad through terrific it yeah you squared it up yeah yeah you freed it up you freed
It up absolutely okay so plane was 4° to the right upwards four wonderful for distance I don’t do that path is zero no you don’t swing up and up I see that on a no that’s not it’s bad normally okay so now now that you’re on the right
Track right the club head is now starting to be on a much more efficient track Walk This Way more uhhuh that’s right now it’s on your it’s actually on your big toe now cuz looks correct it’s outside since your head is here you’re looking at it on the oblique it’s going to look
Especially what your eye is trained to see but if we lay a stick down you’d see this is right on your big toe now at least you freed up so the last few swings you’ve been bringing it in under and out to the right and under
Up and out is when the track of the club head the last swing we we we moved a ladder step Higher by at least not doing this which was making it go to the right and you actually okay you freed up the batad you flung
The you flung you no you flung The batad what you also added was oh I did okay the twist so if we can start flapping yep without the twist that’s going to be the next goal now for sure so check check this out so in this exercise we’re doing
We’re we’re we’re trying to pull a little bit of a double here this is our single yep so start this is our first rung on the ladder it’s a pretty pretty steep rung because we’re doing driver in the mid 90 M an hour right staying under the stick that’s not
Easy okay so next thing we’re trying to add is when we added on the last one was okay activate the hands and don’t hold and you didn’t slice it you hooked it so we’re going to we’re going to try to work in that flapping without twisting move that’s our third step but
For sure keep throwing the head free okay Upper Deck right field exaggerate the shoulders more good and flow with it Upper Deck right field strike very good do it again I see uhhuh a lot of twist it’s a lot of twist yeah that’s crazy so people be people be very
Jealous that that was 97 M hour and you’re just half swing bunting almost so you can see there’s plenty of power here for some some excellent golf okay all right so we’re going to Flap it through with the face more like that that’s right so under the stick and
Flap still closed huh at least the hands are getting a bit Freer uh-huh hands are getting a bit freeer at least tell you what I will going know back off a few degrees on here just for the sake of saving your shaft you’ll break this thing okay so
We’re going to we’re going to square up and tilt a little more which feels the under up and out feel of hitting feels almost natural now okay right there and it almost begs you once you’re here it almost feels makes the grip being stronger makes that feel more natural
Too so when I move you into this position can you see how it almost begs for the right hand to be turned over more so now here the only way you can reach that grip is kind of on The Underneath more yhm which is where we
Want it now you got to figure out how to Flap this through without closing the face so let’s see you activate the hands and flap it free yeah release the club free without rolling the shaft in the arms good super you did it see that wonderful wonderfully
Done yeah you figured out how to Flap the it’s so right it’s so close coming in compared to what you’re used to that it and and on top of that you want to do this as your Norm so yeah of course anybody’s going to badly hook the first
Few with that grip and arm action all right upper deck right field with the shoulders in your mind more more right field perfect okay and flap way to go Dan two in a row in the Fairway spin rate is only 1,800 you notice that ball flew flat
Like a BB yeah had no climb right right right ball actually rolled 40 yard 41 yards so that’s not normal for you to get a driver rolling normally what you’re used to seeing is is what we what we see generally with the down and across will’ll see and you you know
You’re leaving the weak grip you’re you’re having a hard time squaring the face with the weak grip even though you’re trying so hard but typically you’d see a ball kind of start a little right and climb and slice further right come down and just stick like it’s
Landing in the mud so there’s a lot of people that are in that boat you’re you’re doing you’re swinging down and across and probably making a lot of contact with an open face and the ball tending to hit low and in the heel is probably also because the ball hitting
Low on the face and towards the heel merely makes it spin the open face makes it spin more as well because you’re hitting it with more Dynamic lofted impact it’s just open open is more Loft all right so now you’re getting a feel for this track
See this track coming into it this way and now we got to just simply take this put this into it and take this out that’s right it’s flapping screw ball style that’s right that’s right okay so embrace the upper deck right field Direction with the swing and flap
It I didn’t rotate at all it’s a fairway three Fairways in a row e oh
