Another great video Adam. I play off 5 hcap but last season i developed a terrible pull in my 100 yard shots, couldnt understand where it came from. Pretty sure my grip got too strong. The shots werent drawing they were straight pulls left. This video has given me a few options to work on.

@@Scratchgolfacademy Does ball placement near the front of the stance or back of the stance matter? Also, should I always address my hands in front of the club to prevent pulling? Also, I've engaged my hips more - does it allow for me to over swing?

@Scratchgolfacademy

I'd say ball about in the middle. Hands ahead of clubhead at impact for sure, it won't guarantee no pulls, but it will help Best, Adam

Great video, I have a question, are you trying to hold on to the lag or release the lag to that 45° angle after ball contact? Thanks ⛳🏃🏌️🏌️‍♂️

Magical stuff as always. I've been playing golf for less than a year now with no face-to-face lessons. I religiously watch your videos and thanks to you I've finally broken 100 and reached low 90s. I do have one question though if you don't mind. My left(lead) foot tends to jump off the ground when stretching out the left leg upon impact, especially with the driver. I'd love to get your feedback on whether this is a good or bad habit (I've been told it's bad)

@Scratchgolfacademy

4 жыл бұрын

Aram, Thanks, and very glad you've made such good progress. Regards the left foot, there are a number of top players that do this to one degree or another with their driver. I'd film yourself from face on view, as long as your weight (left hip) is getting over to the left side, and assuming you can time everything up, it's likely OK. All the best, Adam

Would love to know if move over with chest to start downswing creates both pulls and fat shots. Also would like tips on how to consistently start downswing to avoid this occurring one to two times a round.

@Scratchgolfacademy

4 жыл бұрын

Peter, It could be a contributor to chunking shots. It's rare that it 'suddenly shows up' here and there when playing, what generally happens is that the golfer has a pattern, and at times they can't time up their compensation...then the bad shot shows up. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

Since I have normally an on plane swing, per video in lesson with high school classmate PGA instructor Gale Peterson, club just above trailing forearm on downswing, occasional fat shot must be something else. Something I have dealt with 20 years.

I have not played regularly in over 6 years. Just getting back to it over the past few weeks. I have an accentuated sharp pull either off the tee box and on my irons I hit almost 10-20 yards left off target. This video and drill should help. Will give feedback later. I also top my wedges but that is a problem to be addressed with another lesson. Scratch Golf Academy videos and drills make a lot of sense to me.
