I believe everyone that plays golf would benefit from Dan's teachings has helped me tremendously. only one person who doesn't need it is the dod king with those soft mitts
Dan Grieves is a short game god.. I already loved shortgame, but he really made me understands it. Props to the big guy for getting it so fast, really makes me appreciate what a talent Martin is
Very good technique summary - there is no one method or setup that always works - and it takes practice. Your ability to listen and learn Dan is a big reason you are a top athlete. Most people just do not listen - they hear what they want to hear.
Love this! Great to have someone really question the detail. Think Dan needed some longer arms to help with the hip turn with Martin vs his other students though.
OK ... OK ... clock system ... that is automatic due to the feel of restriction. This is awesome as I can work with that to further work on my shortgame. Great that you keep asking questions and refering to things. That deepens the understanding. Again ... awesome. Stay metal dude. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
That 3/4 shot can be like a laser beam. I've been hitting it for almost two years now, like Moe Norman said, feeling like I'm pulling the flagstick out with my hands.
Martin, I used this concept & chipped in for Eagle from 80yards. This method works. Absolutely brilliant! 1. Light grip 2. Hands slightly forward 3. Center stance 4. Arc swing path 5. Swing freely
This was cool....something I am working on. But me, more 70 yards in....not 140!! This reinforces some of the things I have been doing....thanks bud! Good video!!
He dropped a ton of nuggets on you in a short time that will do wonders for your short game over time. Grip pressure at a minimum that can still support the club will be huge for you because I'm sure your grip pressure is off the charts. A key will be to not make a divot your short game shots even when taking a full swing. Next is when you told you to engage the ground behind the ball prior to striking the ball if you are opening the face and using he bounce. This will also be useful from further away from the green because it will deaden the strike and reduce the ball speed which will be really useful for you. Finally when he had you over club yet hit the ball the same distance as this will greatly tone down your "hit reflex" because instinctively you know that you have way too much club and so these shots will literally feel like chip shots and for your that will greatly increase your accuracy. I can't imagine how hard it is for you to develop touch at the speeds you generate as I know how tough it was for me swinging at 129 mph. That lesson alone though is going to greatly impact your game I assure you. Fantastic video Sir.
I wonder how Martin would fare on the PGA tour. He couldn’t use his long drive pedal-to-the-medal swing, but he probably still would have 20 yards on the longest hitters, e.g. McIlroy. He’d be coming into all the greens with short irons. Then it would just be a question of whether he putts well.
I follow Dan for a while, read his book and recommend him to most people I know who have trouble in the short game. But I just noticed that his name is Grieve instead of Grieves :D
Very informative stuff as usual from Dan. Nice questions and back and forth, but got the sense that Martin already knew all the answers *and* already owns all those skills. The act was for us, the viewers. 🙂 Pretty sure it's legal, what with literary license and all. The big man is talented.
I watch everything I find that Dan is teaching in. Would love to see a video with your roles reversed, and you teach Dan how to hit 350+ driver. Well done Martin
I'm not sure if Dan will read this, but I'd be curious to know his thoughts on how those fat grips Martin and Bryson use, as to whether he thinks they would be or not be a problem with the short game, would they hinder say release 3 for example. Yes Bryson is awesome, but his own admission is hes far from the best short game on tour
It's amazing how bad the old way of teaching chips is. When I used to read golf books about chipping or watched youtube videos in the past, it ruined my chipping. When I started playing golf and before I read all that rubbish I had no trouble chipping.
I’m getting so lost, I just watched a Phil mickelson short game video and he said to not release it like 1 or 2 with the hinge and hold it looks like he only releases it as 0 then hold the release. But here it’s different. Who do I follow 😂
