What a super-nice guy MJ is. I'm looking forward to your scramble on the back 9 🙂 Sadly I never got to play in Joburg but I remember the drive through Swaziland on my way to Kruger NP. Lovely wee country.
Great match to watch, you're playing some great golf and the feel of these videos has found it's sweet spot. I'm excited to see what you can do after a well deserved Christmas off (I'm guessing you'll still be hitting balls and staying fit?). I really like how you drip-feed your thoughts and your plan for each shot to us!
Quick question, I've noticed more and more Pros and long hitters are spinning their front foot out now. Is this just due to the forces involved or does it help you rotate/clear hips/get through the ball etc? Great content as ever :)
One of the proper fundamentals of the left/front side clearing in the downswing and through impact involves a lot of force back and away from the ball. I think we're seeing the generation of increasingly fit/fast/flexible young players simply doing more of this, and harder/faster too.
@@morgancross5481 but the front foot spinning out actually implies less mobility, hence it happening. As us mere mortals are only ever drip fed new things in the world of golf, I wondered if this was a new method of achieving the aforementioned things. A front foot spinning out used to be a real no no among teachers and pros, however it appears more and more people at a high level are doing it now.
@@shaunchappell784 You push off from the ground with your front foot to generate speed through impact as you are turning. The foot has little traction (almost completely off the ground) as your body is turning quickly so it turns easily.
@@luckyscrote I know/understand the use of the ground to create forces for speed, my question is it was always thought that front foot spinning out was a power leak in the swing, but everyone with a serious long game now seems to be doing it. So as I've already asked is this now considered a "new" move that has yet to filter down to the rest of us.
Im fairly new to golf. What’s the thing scratching the surface of the irons when hitting an approach shot on to the green? Is it to make the club face more rough to add additional spin? Is it a specific tool that one can purchase?
