The hidden gem in this video is Joel talking about watching a lot of pros play...specifically, in-person. I learned a lot this past year at a couple of ACL Opens by watching how different pros approach and play the game. Talking with pros (including hanging out with you guys all weekend in Kansas) was eye opening as far as gaining perspective and insight into how to play the game at a higher level. 99% of pros are approachable and willing to share tips, techniques, strategies, etc. If you can't make it to an Open or bigger tournament where lots of pros play, videos like this are a great way to learn too!
Great video. Hey, when you say lock your arm and elbow, do you mean get the bottom of your elbow pointed straight behind you at address, or keep that rested and pointed behind you to the right. Seems like this is the only way I can avoid hitting my leg (pointed in left or straight back). Good luck this yr!!!
Great video! I really like the fact you hit on a few key areas of mechanics that could help anyone. I’ll be focusing on the “rock” portion because I think I don’t do that enough. I get caught up more in arm motion compared to fluidity.
