I am hitting the ball with more of a fade than I really want?
Hitting off the right side of the body or hip will not get a fade, but if the hands go before the body or hip, you will get a fade.
I am hitting the ball with more of a draw than I really want?
Swinging through this golf swing and finishing the turn to the left with your toe pointing down to complete the golf swing will not get a draw, but if the golf swing is not completed with the toe pointing down, you will get a draw.
Can you tell me why I am most likely hitting the ball fat?
Fat Shot: no move back, no dip down, no move in downswing, no head movement looking straight down at the golf ball. But if you move in the backswing, dip down, move in the downswing, and move your head to look straight down at the golf ball, this can lead to a fat shot.
Can you tell me why I am most likely hitting the ball thin?
Thin Shot: don't add slight tension, movement during the swing, or raise up during swings—this changes your measurement in the golf swing. But too much slight tension, too much movement, raising up too much during the swing, and too many changes in measurement can lead to a thin shot or a topped shot.
Practice drills with Pole and Rope drills.
Pole Drill: Using your golf club behind your back, bend the left knee, bringing the shoulder down to a 45-degree angle to the ground and turning to the right side of your body, with the right leg straight and the right shoulder up. Then reverse—put your heel down to the ground, bend the right knee, bring the shoulder down to a 45-degree angle, and turn to the left side of your body, with the left leg straight and the left shoulder up. Do this BACK-AND-FORTH. This will help you learn my golf swing. THIS IS HOW THE LEGS MOVE WITH THE TURNING.
Rope Drill: Using a jump rope, put it around a chair leg or arm. Bend the left knee, bringing the shoulders down to a 45-degree angle and turning to the right side of the body with the elbow into your rib, the right leg straight, and the right shoulder up. Then reverse—put your heel down, bend the right knee, bring the shoulder down to a 45-degree angle, and turn to the left side of the body with the elbow into the rib, the left leg straight, and the left shoulder up. Do this BACK-AND-FORTH. This will help you learn my golf swing. THIS IS HOW THE ARMS MOVE WITH THE ELBOW.
How to twist your wrists in my golf swing.
Bend the left knee, bring the shoulder down to a 45-degree angle, and turn to the right side of your body with the right leg straight and the right shoulder up. Keep your head down at the golf ball—don’t turn your head from the ball. Start twisting your wrists and bring your arms and hands to form a number seven across your chest. Continue twisting your wrists toward the right shoulder, bringing it all the way around behind your head with the golf club, and the thumb facing the top of your right shoulder. As you bend the right knee and bring the shoulder down to a 45-degree angle, unwind your wrists as you come down, hitting the ground—but you're turning before that happens—and hitting off the right side of the body with the golf club, turning to the left side with the elbow into the rib and the left shoulder up, completing the turn of the golf swing with your toe in the grass.
Practice Drill:
Right leg is straight. Go to the top of the golf swing, twisting your wrists all the way around behind your head with the golf club. As you come down, bend the right knee with the elbow into the rib and unwind the wrists as you come down, hitting the right side of the ground with your golf club. Do this several times—you need to get the feeling of unwinding the wrists. Watch this on video: hitting the right side of the ground with your golf club.
Problem with golf swing—use golf club on the ground.
Using a golf club at a 45-degree angle to the ground on the right side of your body, behind you and out front, keep your head down at the golf ball—don’t turn your head. Aim for the golf club on the ground. This should help you. For your foot problem, make a cross with two golf clubs and place your foot on each side of the club—this helps keep your foot in the correct angle as you do the golf swing. This should help you.
DO THIS GOLF SWING SLOWLY.
I want you to say this in your mind as you do the golf swing: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. That’s how slow you should swing your golf club. After you learn this golf swing, you can pick up some speed.
