TRANSCRIPTS
-All right, you low handicappers. What I'd like to do
is give you a good suggestion on how to improve
your ball flight. Without changing anything in your golf swing
like keeping the ball position the same, we're going to
change our ball flight by the rotation of our body.
So, for myself personally, to hit the ball a little
bit lower, I'm going to cover the ball with my
right side. We keep talking about all the time, RPB
(Right Pocket Back) and take the right pocket to the
ball. Well, this time, I want to take my right
pocket to the ball but I'm going to stay right
on top of it a little bit more. And what
that does, it delofts to go the club a little
bit and I'm going to, again, lower more penetrating ball
flight with a full natural swing. I'm not going to
be moving the ball back in my stance to adjust
my center gravity, to adjust my point of attack or
angle of attack by moving the ball two-inches back on
my stance. So, I'm going to leave it the same.
So, I'm going to cover it with the right side.
The ball is going to go lower. Then, what we'll
do is show you how to hit the ball a
little bit higher by delaying the right side just a
little bit. So, here we go. We're going to hit
with the 5-iron, normal set up and I want to
flight the ball down because I want to push it
into the wind a little bit more. So, I covered
it with my right side. You notice right here. I'm
right on top of the ball, nothing different. But, that
ball probably came down a good 20-feet from a normal
ball flight. Now, the opposite. If we want to get
the ball up and we want the ball to land
on the green a little softer because the pin is
down and cut on the front edge. Again, with the
5-iron. I'm not going to change my ball position. I'm
not going to change my swing. But, what I'm going
to do is I'm going to slow down my right
side just a little to let that club come into
the ball but my body is just a smidgen behind
it. That will mean that the club face is open
a little bit more. Instead of a 5-iron loft, this
is probably going to be about 5-1/2 iron loft and
my ball flight will go a little bit my trajectory.
Well, it'll be a little bit higher. So again, without
changing the ball position, stance, set up or anything. One
last waggle. I'll just slow down my right side and
the ball goes 20 feet higher than what I normally
do. So, the low handicappers think trajectory, practise trajectory of
a shot with the rotation of your lower body.
