driving-range date today let's do it
okay let's get started on our range day today we're gonna step it up we're gonna
be a little more precise with everything we're doing so first thing we want to do
is shoot 50 yards that's 56 yards so that's the shortest I want to go and I
want to go between 50 and 75 yards and my goal is 10 in a row so I'm taking my
second wedge my second-most lofted wedge right now it's the 54 degree and all my
shots have to land between 50 and 75 so 56 would be the minimum will go 56 to 75
I really want to make sure I'm focused in so that's perfect I don't want to go
too much farther than that I really ideally want to land it right at 56 just
past 56 okay so yeah I miss hit that so that went short so I'd have to start
over we want ten in a row between 50 and 75 let's see where that goes
right maybe 57 58 yards so that's perfect that's what we're looking for I
need 10 in a row there okay and I'm just memorizing that's perfect again I don't
want to use my 60 because I feel like that's just too much of a full swing I
want a controlled wedge swing and that's gonna miss hit it but still it was fine
and what I'm doing here a little more technique stuff we're focused on on the
shorter shots with your wedges I don't transfer my weight from my front
foot to the back foot I really keep my weight on that front foot most of the
time that's perfect I don't you don't need to transfer weight that's for speed
and power and here I'm not looking for speed in power I'm looking for control
and accuracy so I'm keeping my weight probably 80% of my weight on that front
foot as I do this and then I'm really controlling that clubface and my swing
length right here
and getting good rotation through that these are all great hands slightly
forward my hands just this would be Center I'm just slightly forward and I'm
really going down after that ball a little inside to out swing trying to
swing a little bit into out just right in here
good move it um okay now after that I want you to get your pitching wedge and
an alignment stick and line something up just make sure you're always shooting
your yardage is just to make sure you are totally locked in I like that the
hundred yard sign is 111 yards so I'm just gonna go at that I'm not worried
about so much distance but I do always want to have an idea where my distance
is these are range balls but you know with your wedges they'll typically go
about what what you normally hit they'll be a little bit shorter but the goal
here is I want fade shots okay all shots gonna fade now if you can't fade the
ball don't worry about that it's a fade for you so if a fade for you as a 2 yard
draw then that's your fade play it if a fade for you is a if you normally fade
it good we want just a subtle fade so a very slight left to right movement if
you're a drawer like I said figure out what would equal a fade for you and do
that so I want to go I'm gonna hit at least ten shots but I needed I need five
in a row fades before in order to move on so that was great
and just land it right of the 1 111 sign that's perfect so that was one in a row
same set up
that faded but I started it left but it still faded so I'll take it
what I like to do when I'm fading the ball is I try to keep a shorter swing
and then accelerate through the ball if I get long for me I start drawing it
too much but if I keep that swing shorter than normal and go it's hard for
me to turn that face over so that's something I like to do is just keep that
swing in here and really go after it all out and then I can it'll just normally
fade I don't necessarily have to worry about it too much as long as it moves
left to right I'm happy just take it back here that was perfect
don't focus on too much weight transfer on these a little but not much I'm
really trying to keep everything set up good neutral right here you're good to
go just shorten the swing that's perfect let's move on okay next up get your
8-iron and we're gonna go to a number specifically okay the 150 is 147 yards
from right here so that's great good number no went there's no wind and if
you have a range if you have a range that has green this is where you want to
to do that I am going to paint visualize a green in my mind and I need to hit
eight irons to that green the goal here with your 8-iron is to hit a green five
times in a row alright so
that's what you have to do if you hit four and you miss one you start over
you're gonna do that for a while I want you to really get this five in a row
whatever it is whatever the distance is with your 8-iron that's what you want so
I'm going at the 150 sign which is 147 it has to be within let's say five yards
short of that and five yards long of that and then left to right I'm just
gonna visualize a green sighs the better you are the smaller that green should be
so I would say that did not hit the green so we're we're back at one little
poll left
okay thin but pretty much right at it a little right I'll take it as a green
they can't get much shorter than that or I won't count it that's perfect so
that's two in a row
okay that's five five would be a good number to hit let's move on okay next up
here's what you want to do is get your five iron and we're going 3/4 shots and
get your yardage for it there's a black pole out there that's 176 so I want
about it swing right to here right to shoulder height shoulder to shoulder and
I want to go three-quarter five irons
just right there might hit the pole right at it
yeah rolled right next to it okay I want 20 quality shots like this nothing more
than 3/4 that's a good one that's perfect you try to understand what
you're doing we're controlling our swing right now and we're working on impact
zone and ball strike perfect setup make sure everything's square to your
alignment stick you know hands are maybe just slightly in front of Center and
then my weight I'm not don't wait transfer is don't get too carried away
with that right it's just a subtle rotation and going going around
if you rotate properly your weight will transfer properly
a lot of our problems come with too much of a swing
just 20 good balls and you can move on
okay let's do it we'll move on all right all right
now get your driver out know you're excited about this so I'm going at the
blue flag way out there in the distance which is just it's almost in line with
the red flag okay and the goal is you want to go draws and fades I want to go
to draw and then to fades just draw some page that's all I'm working on remember
it's not that you hit a drawn fade it's that you hit a draw and fade for you if
you can't draw the ball that's fine just a lot less of a fade then if you're a
normal shot at the big fade we want to work on you understanding and learning
your swing and just feeling the swing so we got to get that just one thing if
you're really working on a draw just get that I always say front
shoulder back toe front shoulder back toe just get that shoulder over that
back toe it's gonna help and if you're a fader you're probably picking the hands
up so front shoulder back toe in here and just really focus on coming inside
out so I'm going to draws two fades add a target so this is there's the blue
flag I'm going to draw right here
that was great okay it drew nicely that was one and I want twenty driver shots
so good my second draw
so now I like playing faith so I love I love the fade shot and when I'm playing
well typically my ball does fade so we'll give it a go well that was nice
what I can do is shorten the swing and accelerate through like we were doing
with the with the wedge short swing accelerate through it really works and
it takes a lot of danger out of your golf swing keep it short and I could
just go after that it fades nicely another trick you could try for a draw
is just with your set up a little more right lateral bend here that could help
promote a draw so that's all I'm gonna do set up where I'm comfortable more a
little more right lateral bend and just do it
whew that was the best little draw I played that was great I love that one
because if you tilt back a little bit it's just you're hitting a little more
on the upswing and you can't come over the top if you're swinging up it's just
it's impossible so get a little more Bend down with your right shoulder right
here and and try that
yeah that was good that's what I like right there
and really go after it so that was really hit well so two draws two fades
each one keep going back and forth at least 20 shots 20 quality shots okay do
that and then we're not done yet let's move on okay last bit here you
guys are doing awesome let me know how you're doing keep me
posted because I want to know a lot of you have wanted a little more kind of
instruction during the practices where we've just been practicing so I'm trying
to provide that a little bit but I don't want us to get too technical with this
okay I want it to really be just practice and working hard on getting
better but get your sand wedge or not your highest lofted wedge your next one
down this is my 54 back to the 54 right and now where we started now I'm doing
20 shots 3/4 swings what I'm doing is I don't want to go home after swinging my
driver I want to go home after a controlled swing
these are so much easier to hit so you want control here you're basically doing
a cool-down like any other sport you would do a warrant a cool-down that's
what you're doing it's kind of like stretching after you would did a workout
that's what we're doing here stretching three-quarter that's today's
what are we on day 19 we're almost done we're getting there we're getting better
we're learning how to practice and what to do for practice so we can't improve
all areas of our game this is driving range day it's gonna be a great week you
