    BEST EXPLANATION IVE EVER HEARD!!!!! HANDS DOWN. AND IVE BEEN WATCHING VIDEOS AND TRYING TO LEARN FOR 30 YEARS. THANK YOU FOR THIS

    • @Pkurkowski2
      @Pkurkowski2 Před 21 dnem +1

      COuldnt agree more. There are so many junk videos out there that try to explain stingers, draw, fade etc and they ultimately say nothing at all. I think a lot of these other youtubers are just good at golf and dont necessarily know how they hit the shots so they cant explain it.

    After watching that first video you made with Eric learning the shot shapes months ago, I used that draw setup with a 9 iron to hit a green with a tree right in front of me. It was the only option I had, the ball could just not start left with my usual out to in ball flight or I was dead.
    I had never even tried it before. I trusted the shot and hit this beauty of a high baby draw landing soflty on the green.
    One of the best shots I have ever made/felt.
    The quality of your videos golf wisdom wise is getting ridiculous Matt.

    • @graphex16
      @graphex16 Před 23 dny +1

      When I'm having trouble hitting the center of the driver out on the course I'll choke down a bit and then try to get to the range soon thereafter. Our range has buckets of water for cleaning clubs and I'll dip my driver into the water and then take a swing - all to see where I'm making contact. I'll repeat this a couple times for both normal and choked down grip positions to determine if where I position the club behind the ball and how far forward the ball needs to be for 'stock' straight ball flights . Then I'll do the water tests for draws and fades. Just a suggestion that helps me reset things again.

    Love this video! My biggest take-away, is that I should trust my instincts more and practice all kinds of shots on the range, instead of only trying to hit down a straight line (which I fail to do anyway).
    It's incredible how much of what Eric was explaining just came intuitively to me when I was a kid, just having fun and not focusing on scores. All that, I since have unlearned, listening to swing gurus and trying to find that one consistent, ruler straight shot. But it all came back now.
    Saved to My Favourites. Can't wait to hit the range and practice area and explore. Will have to try very hard not to experiment too much during my club tournament tomorrow morning 😅.

    I guess there are many ways to skinn a cat (or how the saying goes). Ti hit a fade I shut the face and exit let my hands go more left of the target = ball further forward in the stance. To hit a draw I do the opposite. Open face and ball further back. I don't change my grip and I only slightly change where my feet are aiming.
    My thinking is that I still want to feel that I am aiming almost like I do on my stock shot (low fade) so that the move doesnt feel too werid.

    I'm not a good golfer by any means, but I think that a true beginner should start from this. Meaning the first time hitting balls should be trying to play around with slices/hooks with moderate speed and to a target. Bringing up speed would show how the extremes are not really playable and in the end something playable might emerge.
