Committing to a shot shape - I have always done that, and I find it works. Nice to be able to shape shots. Let’s you swing easier and cut corners, use a 5 iron like others use their 7 irons. I’m adding to what I said - a person with a consistent swing, EVEN IF A MECHANICALLY POOR SWING, but with a smart approach to set up, and a good mental focus (and a stable head), even that person can score low. I broke par from the blue tees at Montebello GC when only 6 months into golf. My flawed swing was under my control and predictable.
I play a fade with my driver and it’s always resulted in many fairways. I probably average in the 70-80% fairways by aiming up the left side and letting it fade back in, definitely my favorite club in the bag.
whats the difference in feel between a proper cut (starts left of target line and fades back) vs a push-fade/slice that starts right of target line and continues to fade right? im working on my fades and i sometimes get the push-slice even though i feel like im keeping my swing constant - and thinking of swiping the ball to the left
Let's talk weight distribution in the feet. As you start your downswing you are on your toes of both feet. For evidence of this go to exactly 15:48 of the video. Do you start your driver swing with a conscious placing of weight towards the front of your feet? However at impact, the weight on your front foot appears to have moved to the heel of your front foot because your front foot toes are "off the ground". Is this conscious? By shifting the weight to the heel of the front foot does that facilitate the level left idea?
Gonna ask you an interesting "what if" question...just for fun..... a weird thought came in my head.... I paused your swing at the top of the backswing. Your forearm perfectly "intersects" your back shoulder. And your right elbow is not flying although not touching the torso. So what if...... What if a person just started from that position... that's right.... no backswing.... just a downswing....could it be done? Brilliant ideas in life have happened because of weird thoughts... Just wondering what you think. And by the way.... isn't this how baseball players swing... they have no backswing. Where did the idea of a golf backswing come from? How about a video where you just try this...for fun.... where you start at the top of the backswing and just swing and see how you do. If anything it would be great entertainment!!!

Predictable is so key!!!

That’s a great percentage!!
the shot Danny was trying to get you to hit Sam Snead called a shondell - starts left, and fades back
Cool. I’ve never heard of that!

I try and shift from heel to heel.
Christo, you mention an out to in path of 1-2 degrees!? Are you actually swinging out to in, not OTT from the inside as you previously described it?

I made a video about the pause drill. It’s the same thing. Not easy!
It is harder to work the ball with the modern golf ball.
That’s really true nowadays
Dead right slice…your alignment is incorrect per this video. The pro needs to get behind you.
