This Golf Lesson Could Change Your Life [Video]

0:00 | so if you struggle with your chip shots

0:01 | around the green maybe you’re struggle

0:02 | with contact distance control just

0:05 | nerves because you get a bit jittery and

0:07 | you and you and you’re really struggle

0:08 | don’t worry you’re not alone in this

0:10 | video I’m going to bring you in on a

0:11 | live lesson with Tom Tom in his own

0:14 | words is saying look Danny I I just get

0:16 | nervous of my chip shots I Duff them I I

0:18 | generally bring out P most of the time

0:20 | because I’m scared stiff by the end of

0:22 | the session we transformed his short

0:24 | game and it could help you too now

0:27 | before I get into the lesson if you’re

0:37 | always put a download or practice guide

0:39 | in the description box below so come and

0:41 | join me now and let’s see how Tom gets

0:43 | on with this shortgun so Tom tell me a

0:46 | little bit about your short game

0:47 | inconsistent honestly I really struggle

0:49 | with distance control um the strike

0:54 | could be thin could be fat it’s again

0:56 | not consistent y uh honestly on the

0:59 | course from here this is poter all day

1:01 | long really all day long okay there’s no

1:04 | way the wedg is coming out the bag for

1:05 | this and why is

1:07 | that my worst part is going to be far

1:11 | better than my worst chip got it so is

1:13 | that because you really kind of do you

1:15 | struggle just with the contact

1:16 | consistency of contact consistency of

1:18 | contact consistency of uh is this going

1:20 | to reach the green is this going to be

1:23 | too far from the green yeah um it’s my

1:27 | objective from from here to this near

1:29 | pin would be next shot is with a Potter

1:33 | right okay that’s it okay it’s not to

1:34 | get it close it’s and if we could get it

1:37 | close we could probably save a few shots

1:39 | one or two okay come on then let’s have

1:41 | a look at you let’s see what we see what

1:43 | we’re working with where are you eming

1:44 | here by the way dead at it dead at it

1:47 | okay um so do do you see that there’s a

1:49 | break like left to right here

1:51 | maybe or do that come into your mind

1:54 | whatsoever I I wouldn’t tend to read a

1:56 | break on a chip okay which is probably a

1:58 | course management issue okay cool cuz

2:00 | you know you you do know when it lands

2:02 | it’s going to roll so it’s going to roll

2:04 | somewhere

2:06 | yeah let’s find

2:12 | out that’s a pretty good strike I’m

2:15 | happy with that yeah that’s a pretty

2:16 | good on the dance floor so that would

2:17 | that be that’s objective achieved next

2:19 | shots with a patter okay so that would

2:20 | be quite you’d be quite comfortable with

2:22 | that kind of strike very happy with that

2:23 | cool very happy with

2:27 | that but that’s kind of like

2:30 | so there’s a inconsistency of distance

2:33 | yeah very very much so very much

2:39 | so okay and then when you try and hit it

2:42 | a bit softer we get a bit of that

2:44 | there’s no contact yeah just okay so the

2:46 | first thing we got to do is we’ve got to

2:48 | secure contact every single time right

2:50 | so if we get consistent contact we can

2:52 | then start working on distance control

2:54 | okay so a great contact with a shot like

2:56 | this okay is when you strike the uh B

2:59 | the

3:00 | ball then the ground just afterwards

3:03 | okay so we need a slightly descending

3:04 | blur right now what we do at setup is

3:09 | going to make a big difference on this

3:10 | okay okay so if you get yourself set I

3:12 | want to show you

3:13 | something so what do you notice about

3:16 | where your left shoulder is and where

3:17 | your right shoulder is in terms of their

3:20 | angle Which is higher right shoulder way

3:23 | higher right shoulder is way higher than

3:26 | the left shoulder isn’t it right now

3:29 | what’s that in terms of angle of attack

3:31 | on that golf ball how are you going to

3:32 | hit that do you think from that shoulder

3:35 | angle upwards exactly right so you’re

3:38 | already hitting up so you’re going to

3:39 | have to now in order to put any down

3:41 | force on that ball to strike it you’re

3:42 | going to have to do some weird stuff

3:45 | right you’re going to have to manipulate

3:46 | it exactly right so the what we’re going

3:48 | to do here the first thing I want to do

3:50 | to help secure contact is this get

3:53 | yourself set ball position is fine it’s

3:54 | very Central in your St maybe almost

3:55 | back in your stance right pause there

3:58 | what I want you to do now is this stand

3:59 | up for a second okay stand up toward

4:01 | face me okay simple exercise put the

4:04 | club out in front of you here just put

4:06 | it straight out in front of you okay now

4:08 | this stage relax put your arms a bit

4:10 | close to your chest there okay there you

4:11 | go just get a little bit of a cup in

4:12 | that wrist there okay and then from here

4:15 | just hold the club with your left hand

4:17 | okay we’re going to have slightly

4:19 | slightly ahead of the ball mhm here at

4:22 | this stage your shoulders are where

4:24 | pretty straight now level yeah yeah now

4:26 | what I want you to do now is just from

4:27 | with the shoulders level I want you to

4:28 | Simply drop down to the golf

4:30 | does that feel a very different place

4:32 | that’s a very weird place okay right now

4:34 | what this is going to do when you start

4:36 | to level off those shoulders you’re

4:37 | going to start to help you create more

4:39 | of a what downward downward angle of

4:42 | attack right so we’re going to strike

4:44 | slightly down that golf ball so the

4:46 | club’s going to finally ground out just

4:47 | after the golf ball and you’re going to

4:48 | secure contact when you’re back here

4:52 | you’re going to be basically already

4:54 | starting to hit upwards on that shot and

4:56 | then what you do to try and stop that

4:57 | you pull your hands forward like this

5:00 | and drive it like a cricket shot you

5:02 | follow yeah yeah okay so straight wear

5:06 | relax level off the shoulders right

5:08 | shoulders slightly lower okay don’t push

5:11 | those hands too far forward just there

5:13 | just there

5:20 | okay what’ you notice about the height

5:21 | on that now much nicer contact look at

5:25 | the controller on it lands now that’s

5:26 | always give me range yeah so can you see

5:30 | when you Struck it before you had no

5:32 | backspin it went off like a bullet yeah

5:35 | as soon as you’ve done this that Ball’s

5:36 | popped up beautifully softly because

5:39 | you’ve come down on it with a beautiful

5:41 | amount of Loft and it’s popped up and it

5:42 | create

5:44 | spin that’s a weird feeling and if you

5:47 | want there’s different routines you can

5:48 | do okay with this okay Some people

5:50 | prefer different things you got this one

5:51 | here okay another routine would be to go

5:54 | cack-handed so swap your hands around

5:57 | okay so go cack-handed what that does is

5:59 | is lower the right shoulder yeah for you

6:01 | as a lefty right don’t put those hands

6:02 | too far ahead just there right now

6:05 | keeping that shoulder where it is put

6:07 | the hands back to where they

6:09 | were that’s another way of doing it tuck

6:11 | the elbow in now as you do yeah now as

6:13 | you’re doing this okay I want you to

6:16 | keep

6:17 | visualizing an angle of attack that’s

6:19 | going where slightly downwards okay all

6:23 | right there you go now watch

6:28 | this

6:29 | feel more comfortable very nice

6:36 | okay did you hear a little bit of ground

6:38 | before there that that one wasn’t as

6:40 | nice wasn’t Roos it right that the last

6:42 | one wasn’t as nice okay so what I want

6:45 | you to watch out for is this okay so

6:46 | here’s the thing now you’re starting to

6:48 | get set up you’ve got an idea of what we

6:50 | want to try and do okay this is the next

6:52 | important thing just to think about in

6:54 | your swing

6:55 | okay you don’t want your

6:58 | body

7:00 | okay to go backwards if your body goes

7:02 | backwards what’s that going to do to the

7:04 | to the grounding shallow it out again

7:06 | exactly right so that you you know one

7:09 | of the things when you start to strike

7:10 | the ground a lot of people get fearful

7:11 | of the ground so they start to kind of

7:13 | move okay away from it I want you to let

7:16 | the club fall into the ground so we’re

7:18 | going to do a few exercises we actually

7:20 | here you’re swinging back and as you’re

7:22 | coming through here what we’re going to

7:24 | do is we’re going to make sure that you

7:25 | stay forward we’re not going to let our

7:28 | heads go backward at allall so just

7:30 | imagine almost like something’s just on

7:32 | your left ear here you going make a

7:34 | swing you’re going to come down and

7:36 | you’re going to stay forwards okay

7:39 | you’re not going to go backwards okay

7:41 | again all this to improve angle of

7:43 | attack and contact

7:46 | right how’s that

7:48 | strike you feel like there can you see

7:51 | you see how it’s starting to you hear

7:52 | that noise ball first a little bit of

7:54 | check yeah brilliant we’re going to make

7:57 | it tougher in a second we’re going to go

7:58 | slight uh slight slightly longer ones in

8:00 | a minute and get you going up in the

8:04 | air right that was an awesome sound

8:07 | wasn’t it awesome connection put bit too

8:09 | much just hit you just hit it too hard

8:11 | yeah so we’re going to go into distance

8:14 | control in a second okay and again is it

8:15 | making sense though tomm yeah yeah

8:17 | really it’s I think it’s the the key bit

8:20 | for me is having the routine yeah of

8:22 | starting to address the board at so okay

8:25 | first address the shoulders right

8:27 | address that right now think about the

8:29 | hip y not having too many swing thoughts

8:32 | y weight forward to stop myself leaning

8:35 | backwards y now pause there now when you

8:38 | push your weight forward this is crucial

8:39 | right what you do sometimes is you push

8:42 | your hands a long way forward and what

8:44 | you do is is you start to do this okay

8:47 | see that there and and this is important

8:49 | can you see how your wrist has actually

8:51 | kind of gone almost flat yeah yeah so a

8:53 | really great thing to test whether your

8:56 | right shoulder’s nice and low look at

8:57 | this so if I was to hold your Club this

8:59 | this is a really good guide now you’re a

9:01 | lefty right but it will do um so if your

9:03 | right shoulder’s low mhm you’ll have a

9:06 | little kink in this right wrist okay see

9:08 | so it’s almost like a bit CED there like

9:10 | this but if I watch this if my right

9:12 | shoulder is high watch what happens to

9:14 | my right wrist it’s just it’s bird isn’t

9:17 | it and now what you’ve got is you’ve got

9:18 | a shot which is powerful too too

9:20 | powerful which is I’m back to my yeah

9:22 | yeah my crook it exactly right so

9:24 | exactly so if you lower your right

9:25 | shoulder just a little bit here like

9:27 | this you’ll see that there’s a little

9:28 | bit of a kink in my in my right wrist

9:30 | here and that’s a great thing just for

9:33 | you to kind of have reference before you

9:34 | play yeah yeah before you H the shop

9:37 | okay beautiful listen to that sound

9:39 | there now watch

9:41 | this feel good all right okay let’s make

9:44 | it a little bit tougher you can see here

9:47 | a trickier shot we need a slightly

9:48 | higher floated shot maybe with a bit

9:50 | more backspin to stop it’s all downhill

9:52 | it’s very close difficult to get it

9:54 | close so what’s the routine you’re going

9:56 | through now to try to improve your

9:58 | strike what is that routine

10:00 | first off making sure my shoulders are

10:02 | leveled y uh kink in the wrist little

10:05 | cup that Kink there adds The Loft gets

10:08 | the bounce working in the club if that

10:10 | you take that kink out you’ve Del lofted

10:12 | it and what you do you now got too much

10:13 | ball speed and it’s going to go low and

10:15 | fast yeah yeah so that Kink here does

10:18 | two things it increases the Loft but it

10:21 | also by lowering that right shoulder now

10:22 | is going to help you in with your angle

10:24 | of attack too okay so just keep even

10:26 | though we want height we still want the

10:27 | angle of attack going down a lot of

10:29 | times when we people go for height they

10:31 | try to lean back and lift it right trust

10:33 | that the angle of the attack and the LOF

10:35 | of the club will get that ball up in the

10:36 | air

10:41 | okay just like that listen to that

10:45 | sound yeah Direction needs a bit of work

10:48 | but Direction but I’m happy with the

10:50 | result definitely from look well look

10:51 | out there it’s pin High B out play and

10:55 | and so we want to be down the left hand

10:56 | side it’s going to kick in from that

10:58 | right hand side but in terms of strike

11:00 | over the me brilliant right yeah yeah

11:02 | yeah over the me and know and this is

11:04 | probably as tough as it’s going to get

11:05 | in terms of pitching it up onto the

11:06 | green

11:09 | right now that time there that’s come

11:11 | off fast now what do you think you’ve

11:13 | done what I let my shoulders back up yes

11:17 | yeah if it it noticeably came out lower

11:21 | a little bit hotter it didn’t quite just

11:23 | pop up no and it didn’t pop up because

11:26 | you’ll see here you’ve gone backwards so

11:28 | you’ve caught it a little bit thin yeah

11:30 | on another day that could have been fat

11:31 | as well you didn’t leave that this

11:34 | shoulder down here so that you could let

11:35 | the club look drop on that b now watch

11:38 | this keep the shoulder don’t drive the

11:40 | handles forward if you drive the handles

11:43 | forward again you’re putting you’re

11:44 | adding too much ball speed the ball’s

11:45 | going to come off look at this here look

11:47 | I’m allowing the club here he it gravity

11:50 | that club to drop down on that

11:57 | ball

11:59 | watch

12:01 | this I think we’ll take that closest one

12:04 | as good as yet got one more shot F we

12:08 | could move to 60 for this last one to

12:10 | give you a bit more elevation a bit more

12:11 | stopping power but don’t but don’t

12:13 | change the thing okay same shot just

12:15 | same shot and then what we’ll do is I’ll

12:16 | show you very quickly how we can then

12:18 | start to play maybe a slightly lower

12:19 | running one with a slightly different

12:20 | Club

12:25 | okay shoulders off TOS level wrist

12:29 | kinked

12:34 | yeah watch

12:36 | this and do that stop a bit quicker

12:40 | little bit higher a little bit high and

12:41 | that’s what a 60° is going to help you

12:43 | do okay let’s just play one more let’s

12:45 | play a slightly more running shot and

12:46 | I’ll see what the difference is between

12:48 | the techniques so if I was to put you

12:50 | change you here just for a second give

12:51 | you a 99

12:53 | okay and all we do for this uh shot to

12:56 | the middle is play it’s just the same

12:59 | type of princi you don’t change the

13:00 | setup we still want to have a downward

13:01 | angle attack but what you’re going to do

13:03 | is you’re going to pick roughly a

13:04 | landing spot which is going to be maybe

13:05 | two or three pces onto the green it’s

13:06 | going to curve can you see the

13:08 | green nice B left to right left to right

13:10 | so we want to be aing left of the flag

13:12 | right and it’s going to curve from left

13:14 | to right so get yourself set to this one

13:16 | okay and just play the same thing but

13:19 | just with a 99 right it’s going to be

13:21 | clear it’s going to come off faster so

13:23 | you want to be looking at something your

13:25 | focal point where most people get wrong

13:28 | focal Point needs to be landing Point

13:31 | not flag most people struggle with

13:33 | distance control because what they’re

13:34 | doing is is the last thing they look at

13:36 | is the flag and really what you told

13:39 | your brain is is that’s where my target

13:40 | is so you then end up swinging the

13:43 | length to the flag to the flag and then

13:45 | you either desel because you know it’s

13:46 | too hard Etc right so yes read the whole

13:49 | thing but the last thing you look at is

13:51 | the point at which you want the ball to

13:54 | land

13:56 | okay there you go watch

14:00 | this you see Chase right up there you

14:03 | follow right

14:07 | Beauty watch

14:10 | this go in going in going in

14:14 | ohes make sense so close yeah all right

14:18 | there you go how simple is that it’s a

14:21 | lot easier than putting yeah it is

14:23 | exactly right so just visual make sure

14:26 | you always visualize when these tabos

14:27 | shots are very very very low trajectory

14:29 | tap

14:35 | shot beautiful just just L back see see

14:39 | little bit to the r you you fell back a

14:41 | fraction which has means you closed the

14:43 | fish and dragged it but it’s still look

14:44 | in Pall wrench still great little pitch

14:47 | all right so massive thanks to sadet
