Hope it helps, keep up the practice 👍🏻

Thanks Fred. I hope you’re keeping safe over there 🤞🏻

Great to hear 👂 Glad to have helped 👍🏻

Good luck and enjoy Anne 👍🏻

How did you get on Gerry?

Hope it helps. Let me know how you get on!

Very welcome Steve

Many thanks Larry, welcome to my channel and thanks for watching. Hope the videos can help drop that handicap! I’ve done a few course management videos as well as course Vlogs where I’ve discussed course management tips. Take a look through my video library when you get a chance.

Thanks Robert. Some drill hitting short shots from just pre impact, feeling the hands rise and lead side extend would certainly help!

The tee hadn’t been cut I’m afraid! 😂 same advice!

Many thanks, I wish I hit the ball as well as Sir Nick!! 😂

It depends on whether your shifting weight laterally to much or swinging out to in. But a simple tip on range would be striking off a high tee to encourage more of a sweeping move. Happy to help with an online lesson, let me know if you would like some info?

and then fix your divot? Ranger here lol

Hope it helps! Let me know who you get on!

TruGolf Academy still hitting better with my 4 rescue. Maybe because I had it cut down to my 3 iron shaft length.

Lol don’t blame you

Off the deck or tee? Off a tee we would want the same arm extension but upper body generally a little tilted behind the ball due to sweeping off the tee

That me Duncan, I do in many of my videos. Will make sure I do more regularly 👍🏻

I can’t keep my lead arm dead straight, I broke it as a kid. But it’s fine for a little bend, just wouldn’t want the hands to get too close to the trail shoulder.

Agree with contact being key and building up swing is a good practice but I think with the right method, I would hit it as hard as you can in balance. I find more speed = more commitment from me and generally better results

@@TruGolfAcademy yes but those who struggle with woods should back off until they get good contact and feel good about woods again, then let her rip :)

Do you mean playing the ball in the centre of your stance? If so, I would try moving the ball more forwards but focus on getting pressure to the front foot in the downswing and extending your arms into impact

Hi Craig, I have a video coming out in a couple of weeks on simplifying BP with all clubs. 3 wood under logo of left chest would be good, a ball inside lead heel. Could vary for trajectory and shot shape intended however

Hope it helps for next round Tony!

I guess just when you stop enjoying it / feel less competitive. 👍🏻

@@TruGolfAcademy I think if I stop enjoying it I won't be playing at all

Check strike location, if toe hits will hook more. Then if starting left and bending further sort face first. If body stalls hands take over a shot the face. Feel body rotates soon

Just for a fair ward wood? I’ve done videos on BP for all clubs. 3 wood I would play 1” inside lead heel

Michael Britton FWIW I would suggest that your arms and body are getting out of synch with each other. Also, for a very quick fix, make sure you are looking at the ball when you hit it .... you might just be swiping at it, looking at the ball as you hit it helps the body and arms naturally hit solidly at the ball.

@@richtfingers thank you so very much for your reply great I'll get on the driving range tomorrow and give it try at last I seem to some sensible comment many thanks

Hi Michael, most mis-strikes come from a loss / change in posture. I.e early extension will generally cause heel strike but players often compensate by pulling arms in or rising the handle and strike out of the toe. I would need to really see your swing to actually help, let me know I can send info on online lessons?

@@TruGolfAcademy thanks Very much TruGolf Academy for your info but how do I correct this problem

That’s also my local golf course! :)

Your a Branston member? I left in Oct but have a couple of amazing coaching facilities now just down the road!

I take your point and do work on it. However to be fair I hit two shots after just 23 seconds!?

I’m not sure what you mean Alan? I did film on a tee box but similar to a fairway cut height not a green

Hope the tips help mate, keep working on it!

I can’t agree with that. Are you saying your players don’t hit it hard?

@@TruGolfAcademy Ok, no need to agree. Here's my unsolicited observations. I'm sure you play very well, but you have some power leaks. Your head moves off the ball much more than your CG (belly button area) while your left heel stays down - upper body sway. If your going keep the left heel down, no need to move your head so far off the ball in the backswing. Good shoulder turn, but that bent left arm at the top robs you of some pop. You might need to move the ball forward to hit a high one with this -> Keep the left arm straighter, get your sternum over the ball or just slightly in front at impact and time the hit with the left hip snapping backwards. Get all the weight to the outside of the left heel - the front of your left shoe should curl up more on the follow through. You'll be hitting more with your body weight and compress the ball more.

Okay thanks. Don’t know what this has to do with my video subject on topping fairway woods. On a separate not I can’t straighten my left arm as broke as a kid and keeping it dead straight won’t increase speed. In fact it can act as an extra lever. Obviously if completely collapsed and creating a throwaway that would be a different story. Cheers

@@TruGolfAcademy I don't hit it as well when I keep the left locked straight throughout the swing either. Some people do though - those that have elbows that lock a bit past flat (180*) without adding tension, like Tiger. Sergio Garcia goes a bit over 180* for example - I believe it helps with consistency. Some have elbows that don't quite get to flat 180* and for them trying to do so only adds tension. I'm in the latter camp also. Your swing is smooth and controlled - on the course, that's better than swinging out of your socks like I tend to do. I've found that FITTING the shaft flex of the FW woods is key. Many have sets that match steel irons shafts with whippy graphite FW woods and it's hard to adjust tempo.

The 1/2 swing? Both went down the middle for a change 😂

😳 oh I hope that’s a joke and not advice you’ve passed onto anyone! 😂

Okay Chris, will take on board. Trying to demo more early in the video but obviously needs explaining and demonstrating moves slowly, checkpoints etc. Thanks for comments mate

Thanks for feedback, I’ve definitely reduced talking in more recent videos, more demos, more to the point etc. check out a recent one and let me know what you think.
