Ive been plagued with fat short game for 8 months now. Went from a 1 hcp to
a 12 in 2 months! Been hovering there ever since. I miss 3 greens and i’m
in the 80’s courtesy of several fat pitches & chips. Its been 236 days
since i started hittin behind the ball, and i’ve tried 72 different
possible fixes to resolve it at 500 chips a day,.. Still hitting fat shots.
It alternates from perfect chips inside 6 inches to fat chips that only go
6 inches. My epic work on this problem tells me that
Are you in the Toronto area? if not, are u able to send me 2, three second
videos, 2 angles?….. I realize the bad shots have now given you zero
confidence, so there are mental setbacks that result. Do u feel it is a
mechanical issue? Are you able to hit a downhill tight fairway lie? Are u
able to hit a buried lie in a bunker? Are u hitting a draw in your full
swing? Can u hit a ball below your feet lie? Is your full swing an
overswing, past parallel? These are all related. gk
Your extension past the ball is too far down the target line. Swing to the
right of the target and let your arms bend. Arms too rigid and extended.
Why r u hitting challenging shots off tight ugly grass? What’s the head set
for?
I’ll post some clips of my swing later this evening on my youtube channel.
I’ll let you know when they’re up. I’ll post my full swings first so you
can chuckle at the thought of me struggling at all lol.
Thanks for your reply. This is no good! going from a 1 to a 12hdcp. There
are a dozen reasons +, you could be having this problem. I only covered
some in this video. But the most important question right now is, when was
the last time you took a live golf lesson to fix this short game problem?
lol the other problem with all instructors is they treat every amatuer like
a 20 handicap. So few know how to push a low hcp thru to the elite level.
So busy putting their hands out for cash they wouldnt recognize true
potential if it slapped them in the face lol
i live in new jersey. i have gigs of swing video analysis. my mishits are
sound mechanics with bad impulses; subconsious sends the right signals,
anxiety reinstructs them. the mishits ‘look’ on video like a diff cause
every day, depends on how anxious i get lol. worth noting: when i close my
eyes i almost never miss a chip.
If you can putt from off the green, PUTT! If you can bump something along
instead of a flop, BUMP IT! No matter what I or anybody gives u for a
solution now. You are already prepared mentally to say “SEE, it doesn’t
work!!! You are showing it. As far as technique, the video’s are not that
clear, so some guess work. Looks like u are leaning to far right at impact,
the shaft is leaning to the right at impact cause it to dig. Use more
bounce.
Full swings are up on my channel. Theyre all from november & december,
havent played or done any full swings in the past 2 months; i refuse to
until i resolve my monumental short game collapse lol. I’ll get some short
game footage up in the morning from yesterday. Good luck finding something
on the short game clips–the chunks and hole-outs look exactly the same.
Hey Sorry buddy. I didn’t get any message that u had put short game shots
on the youtube. I only saw the fullswing. In the chipping, we have a big
problem. You have gone too long agonizing and showing deep emotion in your
miss hits. It’s deep rooted now. You need to stop acting like that and turn
it around RIGHT NOW and find away to play a different shot”an easier shot”
until u get a morsel of positive thought patterns.
Ok this gives me some ideas. I’m gonna through a couple things out here for
you since i cant see it. Is your plane a bit flat coming into the chips so
it’s wanting to bottom out before the ball, so u flinch to avoid it? Is
your clubface shut on the way back causing the hands to lead to much and
the leading edge to dig at the hit? Is your nose behind the ball at setup
causing the bottom to be before the ball? Are you swinging left after the
hit or down the target line?
I’ve had live golf training & instruction 206 out of the past 237 days lol.
Until recently I trained 3-5 days a week 4 hours a day under the
supervision of a certified pga instructor over the course of the past 3
years. He sees nothing but perfect mechanics in my chipping and pitching,
same mechanics as before the yipping plague. He’ll watch me put half a
bucket on a towel near the hole, says “see? ur fine!”. he says this
standing next to a pile of grass chunks from the other half bucket lol
All very prudent reasons that one can hit fat on chips… Funny though,
that no instructor investigates why those things are happening, they just
tell you that “this is why” i’ve been plagued with fat short game for 8
months
i hit downhill fairway lies fairly well. burried bunker shots are
misunderstood so i end up slamming clubhead down to get it out somehow. i
hit 5 yd draws on typ shots,; can hit any shot shape required though. ii
hit shot fine below my feet. full swing driver is deadon parallel, irons
are 10-20 deg short of parallel (single planer)
