How to hit A Draw For A Lefty
Tour Striker - Hitting Draws Lefty To Understand Path And Face - Martin Chuck
Sharing buttons:
so to get a ball that draws left-handed
what do what to anywhere do I need a
face to be aiming left to the left and
where do I need the path to be going
where there's further left so let me let
me attempt a few of these and see how we
do know a little bit of a mess
numbers come up coach uh-huh yeah
three six left okay face was three left
dealer yeah must've been
good slap shot for you right pretty much
so I have a hockey player and I play
left-handed six point eight left so
looks something like this no numbers on
that one color numbers on that one good
smash factor but yeah let's see if I can
get on the other way now for me to hit a
draw left-handed I know I have to do a
couple of things that get others a
reasonably solid shot so you probably
think they spent a lot of time doing
this zero to none okay
yeah I mean I've I hit a few hundred
shots left-handed in my life probably
I maybe venture three four hundred shots
over the course of you know thirty some
odd years in golf there's you know talk
for more onto that maybe two or three
more than I'm going to hit for you but
the point of me doing it left hand it is
to make you guys aware that you can do
this thoughtfully and it can it can feel
completely unnatural because I can
promise you but this feels very
unnatural to me and the point I'm trying
to make is when I'm standing here and
I've been a target light out there and I
know there's this mythical chalk line
from that machine to that big great
powerful back there what I'm standing
over here to try to continue the
discussion from yesterday on where my
weight has to be if I set up here with
this golf ball little right a center and
then I put my weight back here at my
trailing foot and then I try to have any
kind of right work hat that's effective
smash so word of that one go that way I
went to the right so somehow I got the
face on the outside of the ball right I
got the face on the outs of the ball hit
a shot well to the right and this is
commonly when people said him you know
Martin I hit these hit these shots you
know and for rating in a golfer that's
to whom I'm speaking today but you know
we get these shots that go over there
and basically what I what I just showed
you from the left-handed version by back
here I can get to the ball I can somehow
hang back and hit the outside half the
golf ball there's pretty free piece one
but are these solid shots no I can't
really get myself to strike a golf ball
with any sort of leftward path now I'm
on my right foot I can assure you I can
get a tunnel upward path now
right we get a number coach yeah
21 degrees 21 degrees of leftward path
we know that's how we can get some
friction on a ball right just spin it
the other way so your goal Doria was you
know how do i how do I shave dots you
know that's a pretty high level goal
right now for you being candid you know
as a coach I'm like okay that's all
awesome I want you to early to
understand that because once you have
the level of understanding you're way
way better than most folks but we still
have to like Ernie ELLs or any high
level player they spend an awful lot of
time making sure that they can set in to
a shot and know where they're aiming
themselves because we can think ramming
straight we can be aiming all over the
yard right you seem us and Mark sells
that golfers toolbox it's just a family
business and you've probably seen our
revolution golf you know it's a good
little system for dropping sticks on the
ground and having a you know variety at
little fools ature you know at your
disposal you know I usually just let you
guys use aim sticks and suggest you use
aims ticks when you're out here you know
hitting balls but sort of the point of
this this curving demo is what I'm in
here and I've got my weight forward as a
you know as a lefty golf or trying to
put myself in a bit of an awkward
position I can assure you I'm not
standing here trying to rotate my hands
flip my hands roll my hands do any of
that stuff because impact is treated as
instantaneous okay it's one to thousands
of a second when the golf ball touches
the face it's it's something we can't
even correlate okay the message is there
where was the face aiming where was the
club head traveling we can you know any
kind of stuff that we feel we're doing
to a golf ball doesn't relieve an
effective golf ball now I'll tell you
you know if you've been doing some sort
of you know wide open laying of the face
super open you better feel you got to do
some sort of recovery to get back so a
lot of people will feel like okay they
make some crazy compensation on the way
back therefore they have to make now
undo that compensation on the way down
okay I'll give you that but basically
the math that creates shots other draw
or fade is pretty simple math and think
about it you know where is the face
starting the golf ball where is the path
going so as a golfer I know if my
weights forward and I'm not doing
something but something to create the
opposite of what I desire in other words
I'm eating a draw based on this setup
and I'll use Mike as my classmate these
questions Mike this motion right here is
that a draw bias is that a fit bias
right here yeah because it's rightward
that's something going to the right if
we're eating draws we want to stuff
point to the left for that make sense
what's that for lefty for a lefty okay
how about for some guys a little you're
an early a bit of an early extender like
I am okay how about this motion is that
a low motion motion okay well that's my
hands going up to the left isn't it
right okay so this would be something
that if I'm trying to slice it all day
and I'm extending I'm kind of negating
what I'm trying to do here to hit fades
by extending to me by extending myself
and I don't mean to confuse you you want
me to spin around so I'm talking in my
other language and happy to do so but
the reason I did this left-handed okay
is to show you that I don't expect you
to get this I don't expect it to hit him
as well as I heal but what I do expect
you to understand is that the impact
that strikes the golf wasn't
instantaneous event the elements that
can destroy this are you know trying to
manipulate the face to hit a draw or is
let's face it most you want to hit a
draw the elements that are gonna hurt
you to draw hanging back here because we
can't even get up a draw face without
running into the ground
okay now fight let me have a right hand
a golf club I mean yeah my house
so this machine really doesn't care so
the opposite on this you know you see me
hit a draw here
there's my target out there
you know pretty straight it got a
warm-up right-handed
my weights for because that takes my
hula-hoop forward enough
pretty straight hitting today
see if I can get some more curve on
these any numbers on their coach not
really
there's some so path was what five or
six 2.3 or was it face 2.9 okay so II so
I need a bit more curb how am I gonna
have more extreme curve
didn't pick it up debits confuse the
Machine a little bit begin you see the
you know what's the commonality here on
these drawers where is my way sure it is
okay but I promise you and in most yelps
a golf fifty-fifty trying to stay 50/50
or moving back over here to some degree
and then never ever ever having the
timing to ever get back really left you
know as the golf swings what one point
two seconds three seconds four seconds
long you know it's really tough tied ooh
you know that kind of motion and find a
home again
to where you can take the hula hoops and
create the right impact condition down
here
if there's my little channel that I'm
aiming at I've got my golf falling that
channel
and I've got a pretty good swing
direction
my low points ahead of the bottle ball
first
right now I've got enough rightward Club
pad here
to create what
a little bit now I'm not gonna ever tell
you to swing out to right field you know
a lot of people say well don't you know
swing me inside out swing inside out
tryna swing out to right field why would
I want to disconnect my arms from my
body I know you've all heard that got a
swing inside out at it
gang inside outs built into every golf
swing you have the reason is because we
have where it's a side-on game or this
club swings somewhere inside point is
forward when it gets to impact guess
where it's going now figure out some way
to offset the bad geometry was something
that sort of helps does that help
clarify some things
okay so hitting these drawers and
hitting fades isn't about standing here
and try to flip rotate manipulate its
really been understanding if this face
is aiming one particular place and our
path is going somewhere else we're
producing some friction that frictions
in it causes the ball to turn a little
bit now the definition of a great draws
of all it starts to the right of a
target line and comes back to the target
line so the face is aiming to the right
a little bit the path is a little bit
more to the right the definition of a
great fade is of all it starts
the ball is gonna fall to the right okay
now I know it's I don't want to
oversimplify this because obviously
there's a there's a motor skill that's
required to make that happen
but if you can get your head around the
fact that there isn't some kind of funny
manipulation happen and no magic sauce
at impact you know is the fit where's
the face starting the ball where's the
path going right and this is how you're
gonna define when you go sideways and
you miss hit shots well where's the face
it's worth the face started cuz if you
call me let's say Billy calls me up in
two months is he
martin god you know i'm played really
good and i'm in this kid and I'm gonna
say well where's the ball starting no no
it's starting it's starting here and
then it's doing that because now as a
coach I can go okay now I know what the
face is doing what the path is doing I
can be a more effective coach talking to
you guys
so coach Olson there anything to add a
little bit of practice so notice how I
didn't hit a bunch of massive full seven
irons I hit a you know three quarter
half shots more big ones were they now I
want you guys and I know we've given you
some stuff yesterday some primary fixed
up and you know in Dori where her arms
go you know I want you obviously that's
gonna be foundation thought for you
right but as we develop this golf school
and inspire you to think about more
things because we're gonna dump us ton
of stuff on you as you know as we
inspire you to think of more things I
want you to think okay foundation
thoughts you know for Bill it would be
you know that wide right arm you know
Mike's working on not you know really
extending some other pieces keep those
thoughts there you know let's think
about where the ball starts and how the
path influences the curve any questions
before we go into our self into our
stations no let's get to work
