Episode notes
Dad Finally Believed 'Too Far From Ball'
- Mike's dad repeatedly believed for 20 years he 'stood too far away' until a TV segment confirmed it and he celebrated the change.
- This shows golfers often accept ideas only when they hear them repeatedly or from familiar sources.
Look Beyond The Down-The-Line View
- The apparent 'shallowing' seen from one camera angle often masks actual steep-to-shallow club trajectory in 3D.
- AMG shows elite players steepen down the line while the body's turn makes the shaft appear shallower to the viewer.
Let Turn And Lowering Shallow The Shaft
- Allow the club to track down from its top 'sickle' path and use body turn and arm lowering to naturally shallow the shaft.
- Avoid manual shallowing moves (tilting or early shifting) which create timing and contact issues.
