Very informative

Happy to help Rick, thanks!

Keep it simple, 1.5 seconds doesn’t leave much time for thought.

More to come soon,

some good points, I like your simplistic approach but I believe there's a lot missing! you mention you have a video on weight shift soon, interested to see this.

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, you’re right - the specific, measurable information was omitted by intention. I find that thinking too closely about the details often distracts players from the overall task at hand - moving the ball from place to place via the swinging club.

Filming day for me is Wednesday, please stay tuned as the next video to be posted will portray the realities of the pressure movements made with this type of approach to the full swing.

Thanks again,

Thanks David!

I appreciate your comment. The specifics were left out of the video intentionally to help avoid unnecessary confusion that can come from minutiae.

Wednesday is my day to film, more coming this week!

Thanks again,

Ben

Thanks for responding David,

I appreciate your thoughts. The decision to omit minutiae was deliberate. I’ve had too many experiences with students who get going with a “wide- view” approach only to see it derailed with thoughts if specifics.

As promised, you’ll see a new video soon. I try to film on Wednesdays and post ASAP thereafter.

Thanks again,

awesome. just the basics that were all very helpful!

nice! heading to range shortly will give his a try. what club did you hit there just curious?

Hey Nate-

That was an AP3 7 Iron.

Thanks for watching!

Looks good and great information. Am I mistaken or are your shoulders a bit open? I have been working on correcting my driving by aligning my shoulders better, how critical is it when hitting 7 iron to flop wedge? Thanks again for the great video.

Thanks for the question Goldpanner...

You're noticing an important point there. I advocate a shoulder line that would be open, relative to the target line. This is important for controlling the SWING DIRECTION which correlates almost directly to the shoulder line. When combined with the ATTACK ANGLE, this data point produces the 3 dimensional PATH of the club head through impact. Given that there will generally (not always!) be a certain amount of downward Attack Angle when playing shots from the ground, it is important the the Swing Direction be positioned to the left of the target.

We know that the more DOWN the Attack Angle, the more to the RIGHT the path will be relative to the Swing Direction. If we are trying to produce a club path that is close to 0, then as a right handed player, it is required to have a leftward Swing Direction - given that the Attack Angle is downward as well!

With the shorter irons, I would say that this is pretty critical. But it all depends on the course conditions and the shot you're attempting to play. Generally, balls that curve more to the right have higher rates of backspin and steeper angles of descent. The shot we often refer to as a "fade". These actions helps the ball stop on the green. And remember, controlling the finishing location of the ball is what iron play is all about!

I hope that helps, keep an eye out for some new videos coming up in the next few days.

Best regards-

-Ben
