Short game work @StephenAmesPGA In short (ish), he was getting the grip a little too strong at setup around the greens, which was getting the face too neutral. This was making it difficult for him to hit it high with spin, so he was forced to “fabricate” the launch conditions by tilting out of it and dragging the hands with a high handle. Not ideal. Weaker grip, lower handle, and maintaining loft was the key for him to add speed and allow his sternum to stay over the ball nicely for better strike & low point consistency. Same for high shots around the green.

Getting some work in with the man @StephenAmesPGA this week in Miami before his Naples event. Legggggo

Alright that’s all for today! I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and enjoy the Super Bowl if you plan on watching! There will be more of these coming this year 👊💪

Nothing about this delivery is over the top my man. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The shaft pitches back behind the body in transition and continues to shallow and stay inside the hands. It’s simply coming from a steeper position at the top. Keep it there and get him fast 🚀

You have a solid move. The club alignment at the top is too vertical (trending across) for my liking. Even though it does shallow nicely, it happens late in the downswing which can get path far right and high handle with some right misses. Would like to see wider & laid off.

Way less across the line or narrow, and much shallower in transition compared to when I saw you last at my studio. You’ve been putting in some great work Jayson 👊

Poor camera angle here but you can make a strong case that low point is too far in front of the ball, which is why you’re struggling with thin shots and naturally that makes it hard to square the face, so the miss directionally will be a block.

Clubface shuts down quite a bit in transition as you shallow the club well, and your left shoulder exits too high for that pattern. Need a more level turn with the upper body, getting that left shoulder to clear more. Would offset the shallowness and limit the throw

Backswing looks good here compared to prior swings I’ve seen from you. Some pretty solid structure at the top overall. Still quite steep coming down here which is why you see the pivot reaction as usual

Would love to see better posture at setup. Tuck the pelvis under you more and add a bit more forward bend at the waist. That should help avoid the flat shoulder plane, and then work on keeping hands & club up and in front of you early to avoid getting stuck as shallow as you are

Great move. I would get the hands just marginally deeper in the backswing to create some space for the lead arm and chest. Right now, your chest has to slow down at the bottom to get the hands down. Would allow for a more passive release pattern

Who’s up for a swing review session? Send a DTL vid & I’ll tell you what’s up! Need to be following & leave details about your game. I need a good angle (reference below) if you want feedback. NO DM’s! If you delete the post after getting a response, you’ll be blocked. Cheers!

Getting across the line to shallow the club is not always the answer. It can sometimes lead to narrow, steep tendencies, as you’ll see here. New pattern has better trail arm structure, and most importantly a new sequence to his pivot where he doesn’t spin out his chest early. Lead arm stays “in” more and club shallows 👌

@JakeThurmGolf It’s easy to predict all of the brutal outcomes and bad tendencies that will come from an exercise like this

@grobbins09 Sure I can do a review post on it

@NET_ChrisB I dont fade it despite you looking into the hand path.

Get the clubface in a place where you don’t need to rely on the hands at the bottom as much. You can also shallow the pitch of the shaft and swing from the inside as the face gets stronger because you won’t struggle with start line issues ✌️ New always on the right!

More connected takeaway, better shaft movement in the backswing, new alignments up top which help to shallow the club in transition (too laid off before leading to a steepening). The combo of these elements allows him to rotate harder. Boom 👌

A little Wednesday wisdom for y’all 📝📘 Also side note: the faster you swing, the more you can afford to have the clubface in a shut position. The slower you are, the more loft you typically need at impact to help keep the ball in the air. Enjoy ✌️
