Short game and wedge practice recently.
We worked on adjustments to make depending on the lie, hole location, green to work with and flight required.
This was followed with performance games to replicate scenarios on course while adding pressure of keeping score.

When making any change to improve a part of your impact conditions or swing, allow yourself to slow down to become more aware of what you’re trying to achieve.
This example was from a lesson to create more clubface awareness to improve the start direction of the ball flight.
Once you have the required feeling, build up speed while trying to produce the desired outcome.

Check-up with working on strike with irons.

Do you struggle with thin and fat ground contact? One common issue I see is players falling back away from target on the downswing, with their chest moving behind the ball.
This shifts the low point too far back, causing the club to bottom out before the ball, leading to either fat or thin contact.
A simple feel to improve your ground contact is to make sure your chest moves towards the target on the downswing, moving the low point beyond the ball, allowing you to create ball-divot compressed strikes.

A reverse pivot is a common issue I see with the players upper body leaning towards the target in the backswing then falling back away from target in the downswing. This can lead to:
- fat strikes
- pulls left
- slices right
A simple tweak to the tilt in your setup can help you rotate better in the backswing, focusing on getting the left shoulder more over the right foot, while preventing the lower body sliding away from the target.
Comment below if this is something you struggle with.

Initial tendencies here were weak pushes right or low draws often going long.
Without working on any technique, we improved strike, direction, trajectory and distance control through small adjustments in alignment and weight distribution to get the club in a better position.

Striking the ball well but starting it too far offline?
Give yourself a chance to create awareness of where the clubface is through the swing by slowing down the movement and rehearsing where you want the clubface to be pointing at impact.
Take speed out of it until you are able to start the ball online then build back up towards full speed.
