Hi CJ
I have only been using your training DVDs for a few weeks, though I am starting to get some confidence back I am still having big problems getting off the tee which makes it hard to score. Although I occasionally get a goof one away I am battling a slice or a big pull which makes it hard to use one side of the fairway as I don’t know which one. I think my set-up is probably the root of the problems. I used to raise my left heel, though club pro saw it and said I should keep it planted on the ground as it was one more thing I had to think of in the swing, though I didn’t have to think about it as it was a natural move for me. So I have gone back and forth with keeping it planted or raising it and now I have too many thoughts when I swing.
I also have a left leg that is about 3/4 inch shorter than my right (I am RH) do you have any set-up suggestions that would help with a more consistent swing.
Thanks
Mike
Hi CJ,
Recently my club hosted the Asian Tour ISPS Handa tournament. I was excited to play the toughen course a few days later. I discovered a big problem. When my ball is buried in the 3 inches deep rough I have a problem in contacting my ball first. This results in a big shank to the right.
Please advise on how to play when your ball in in a deep rough about 50 yards away. I find it difficult to contact the ball or have any control over distant and direction.
Please help this puzzled golfer.
Eric TAn,
Thanks Eric for the question. The first key on playing from deep rough is to grip the club tighter in the last three fingers of your left hand and accelerating through the shot. Any deceleration will result in really bad shots. Also you need to make sure your weight is left and you get a bit more angle down on the ball so you don’t have to go through the rough so much. Let me know if this helps.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
Thanks CJ. I tried it today and it help in direction control. Distant is still a challenge. Will a 2 hands grip improve this?
Hi CJ,
I have started the golf season here in Pittsburgh hitting akot of Dead Pulls, mostly with the driver, but with irons too. When I aim Right then I hit a Pull/Hook ! Please Help.
Rick Tilves,
Thanks Rick for the question. Check your ball position and make sure it is not too far forward. Second make sure you can shift your weight in the transition while keeping your back and rear end pointed at the target longer (don’t spin open). Let me know if this helps.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
