So here we go guys on youtube here's a quick video that i've done with one of my current clients this is jonathan who plays off 17 at the moment. And just struggling with the big stick he's been hitting his irons incredibly well but just struggling to find fairways really hitting it left right here there and everywhere so today's session was all oriented about hitting more fairways. And we have achieved that without question today.
Certainly certainly here tonight. And the evidence that jonathan showed me the way he hit the ball there's no question he will be hitting more fairways. So what we've got on screen at the moment before and after now jonathan was hitting two major shots one that would just kind of squirt slightly high into the right. And one that would go power left on the odd occasion he would absolutely spank one down the middle this is his very very first golf swing today.
And i practically once he hit this shot and i don't do this very often i pretty much stopped him on the very first shot after he hit this shot because we i just identified. So many little areas of improvement that could be made just in your initial in his initial setup so what we see on this left-hand side of the moment is just a mixture of different alignments we've got the feet going right we've got the shoulders going left. And we've got the feet the hips to be parallel so just too many contrasting movements here so the club on the way back is just completely confused does it go back following the feet does it go about following the shoulder alignment it's in a very much a uh tricky situation to actually get his club to go back in the right line. And then.
Therefore. obviously the rest of his swing can suffer from that what we also notice is at the very top of his golf swing he's not really turned his shoulders which is something we created. And he does come right over the top of the golf swing you see his club there coming up near his shoulder through his neck the club head goes straight through the shoulders. And again that's that could be because the fact it's trying to follow the shoulder alignment on the way down so we got to work this is this is later on in the lesson this is his last shot where he's just absolutely bombed. And i'll show you how we achieved that we decided to create a at least a uniformed alignment whether that's a little bit to the right but at least it was right together. So the feet were right the hips were a little bit to the right the shoulders were a little bit to the right not a problem because this now at least it's got some um kind of structure to it some uniform to it which is great we then.
Talked about how we can get the swing to extend further. So we talked about the rotation of the shoulders better so we managed to get into a much better top and backswing position and then.
We talked about a draw shot now jonathan i always remember from very early lessons would always say i can't hate draw carrier draw so what we actually worked a little bit on tonight as well is not just the technical aspect of hitting a draw. But the visualization technique of hitting the draw so jonathan would very rarely actually look at his target before he hit and what we set out a fairway just on the range here just on the side of this bunker here and also on the side of the 200 banner which is just around his back actually. And we talked about seeing a draw shot actually visualizing hitting that draw shot so we wanted to actually see a really vivid image of how he would hit that golf shot we then.
Talked about from the very top of his golf swing to let the hands and the arms drop down and behind him before he came in to hit and just watch the difference here his downswing just came on absolutely leaps and bounds and remind you where he was at the very top of his back the downswing a little bit of a difference there a little bit of a difference. So his arms have dropped nicely behind him therefore. then.
It gave him the options to hit the draw and he just went into it absolutely ripped it and started to hit the golf shot that he was visualizing. And that's really powerful to visualization you know that's i'm going to be doing some uh kind of psychology lessons coming through the uh channel soon. So stay tuned for them but that's going to be really important that you can visualize a golf shot. And see a really successful shot and that's what we've done a little bit with jonathan say technique boosting confidence by visualizing a golf shot that hits the fairway getting his alignment uniformed and getting hitting the ball so much better and he's pumped now ready to go to the weekend hitting some lovely lovely shots fine in the fairway so much more um even though he's just invested 300 pounds in a brand new driver he probably didn't really need but anyway um he's done great today.
Great session guys if you enjoyed the video. And learned a little bit from it please do give it a thumbs up comment down below jonathan does watch the video.
