Is Slo-Mo Shoulder Assist the Secret of the Short Game?
Putting:
- Read previous instructions on this.
- Make sure the putter head is laid down on the ground before the back swing.
- Use the shoulder to "rock open" the putter blade.
- Make sure this is slowly done backwards.
- With the shoulders, slowly hit the ball. When everything is feeling good, the right hand might even be the one left to hit the ball.
- Make doubly sure that the forward swing is slow, slow enough to be able to know the putter head is coming back the desired way.
- If not sure of the way the putter will make the "hit", the slow-motion way should ensure that the putting motion can be stopped!
- Read the instructions previously written about putting and make sure you incorporate these ideas:
- the putter face opens
- the shoulders swing is stopped at the point just before the putter face swings around
- aiming is the golfers responsibility.
Chipping:
- Employ the "alive" grip. This part is obligatory. And the right hand does the needed cocking.
- Imagine what kind of shot you are going to make and leave the club head open to the desired extent.
- Make sure the club head is laid down on the ground before the back swing.
- The right hand starts the fanning of the club and continues to cock - the severity of cocking depending on the height or flight needed by the ball.
- At the same time, the
shoulder "rocks open" the club head slowly but fully backwards.
- Again, make sure this is slowly done backwards.
- Depending on the type of shot needed, the club head can come up high or stay low on the ground.
- The shoulders slowly rocks back to hit the ball.
- Make doubly sure that the forward swing is slow, slow enough to be able to know the club head is coming back the desired way.
- The right hand initiates the cocking and the shoulder react and then takes over the forward swing to bring the desired shot.
- the right hand can flip sharp forward to keep the ball low but stop abruptly
- or, it can stay open to get better height of the flight of the ball.
Pitching:
- The chipping technique above can be modified for the pitch.
- Some technique to gauge the distance should be developed.
