It would have been nice to see the results of the shots. Where did they land? How did they roll? A second camera and a little editing would make the videos more valuable to me.
Great advice but one small comment. She states that the A wedge flies 66% and rolls the rest, and the 56 degree 50 %........I think the A Wedge should fly 33% and roll the rest. Of course I might well be wrong!!!
Great tip! I'm going to try this out. By the way, where do you purchase your golf pants? I'm looking for a material and fit like that for men's golf pants. Let me know. Thank you!
No, it means you have to take more grass with a wedge. It amazes me people don’t understand the science of angles yet. As soon as you put forward shaft lean in that wedge is no longer the 48-60 that it claims, and your distances and trajectories will be affected. I swear most people who golf and even a ton of club pros have no idea what they’re actually talking about.
Forward shaft lean (impact de-loft) among elite players hitting short irons is confirmed with video, and literally millions of shots hit on launch monitors. There is still plenty of loft and spin to hold greens. No worries. Thanks, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy But there isn’t, when you put more loft into the shaft itself you’re delofting the club (and affecting launch angle) as much as you want to argue it, it’s not the proper way to make impact. At that point you may as well just club up and change your swing length and adjust for distancing.
I like this drill and will try it soon. How I do things now is my A club for that shot, off the green but really close, if the lie has a little more grass to it I use my 56. I use the 9 if the ball is deep in longer grass.
Old fart here. A number of years ago, I got greedy and completely abandoned my baby draw to learn to a baby fade. The goal was to have BOTH. I spent years trying to learn the fade - fully dedicated to it. The result: I completely lost my draw; I could never implement any degree of power/length into my "fade". Just recently gone back to Adam's lessons tips. Already hitting it straighter (with occasional draw) and with considerable more length and power. Battling a pull on occasion; BUT IT BEATS A WEAK PUSH. Just the hand and knuckle placements was a huge kick-start! Many thanks, Adam.
“Let me show you Cam Smith” let me stop you right there ole wise one - I don’t doubt your teaching abilities and love your content but mannnnnnnn is that guy on another level
There are always successful players that do some things differently. Nancy Lopez had the worst takeaway (in my view) ever, but one of the best lady players ever. Just trying to offer generalizations
To add that amount of shaft angle you would need to stand very far ahead of the ball, how do you not hit straight down into the ground when swinging from so far forward?
Look at the pros, ball position is normal. Hands very level through impact, so only a slight downward hit, and that due to the forward shaft lean. Hope this helps
Great work Adam. Not many chaps have the ability to give solutions to complicated golf problems in such a straightforward and simple way. Complicated for most of us that is 😊.
Thank you for the great and informative video. This definitely helps me get a start into my golfing journey. I have so much to look forward to. Cheers.
I used to experiment with ball golf to see if I had a short game at all by throwing balls down all around the practice putting green and would practice chipping balls onto the green. I never understood 'why" golfers would always practice chipping from the same exact spot all the time before they go play their round?? you would never chip from the same distance out on the course, so I always would practice chipping from different distances around the green to different hole locations.
Good advice here. Too much lean or forward press can make for a bladed shot or a chunk if you miss. The one thing I think about? Accelerate thru!! Deceleration kills a chip
