Watch the GoPro version of my setup changes to change the trajectory of your finesse wedge shots

The GoPro version of changing trajectory with your setup will help you visualize how much closer or further away you should play the ball as you move the ball forward or backward.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.680
All right, so here's a real quick GoPro version of looking at the trajectory

2
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:10.160
setup.

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:15.330
So we've got the balls on kind of a exaggerated angle here, so you can see as

4
00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:16.040
the ball goes

5
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:19.800
forward it gets further away, as it goes further back it gets closer to me.

6
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.330
So here's my standard, which is kind of in the middle of my stance, more or

7
00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:23.960
less even

8
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.960
with my left foot, or my left heel I should say, kind of like this.

9
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.180
Now as I go to the lower shot it goes backwards pretty much even with the

10
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:35.360
middle of my foot,

11
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.920
or maybe even the heel on extreme cases.

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.780
Now as I go forward and it gets further away the handle comes a little bit more

13
00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:43.240
down and

14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.030
you can see that I open up the club face a little bit, kind of like this, so

15
00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:47.640
club face

16
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.810
is pointing just out in front of my toe, kind of like this, and the ball

17
00:00:52.810 --> 00:00:53.720
position compared

18
00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:59.020
to my target line is more or less even with that big toe.

19
00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:05.480
So that's going to allow me to slide the club underneath, hit the ball higher.

20
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.880
When it's here and the handle is up that's going to cause the club to come down

21
00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:10.360
into the

22
00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:12.720
golf ball, kind of more like that.

23
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:15.950
Okay so real quick demo, I'll kind of kick these out of the way just so it

24
00:01:15.950 --> 00:01:17.160
doesn't get

25
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:20.600
in my field or in the way of my stroke.

26
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:25.970
So standard one right here in the middle, kind of has just the vanilla

27
00:01:25.970 --> 00:01:27.520
trajectory of vanilla

28
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:28.520
spin.

29
00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:34.570
So now we've got this pretty far back handle up trying not to make any big

30
00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:35.840
swing changes

31
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.600
and you'll see that comes out lower and has a lot more run.

32
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:44.250
Now this one is farther away, there's a little tougher on this down slope, but

33
00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:44.920
the ball is

34
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:50.840
further away, handle is lower, club face is open, and now I'm just going to

35
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.720
feel like

36
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:55.680
I make a similar stroke, kind of like that.

37
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.860
So main purpose of this is to see the, that was better, main purpose is to see

38
00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:03.720
about how

39
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:08.110
far further forward and how far away, so you can experiment with finding a

40
00:02:08.110 --> 00:02:09.000
comfortable

41
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.280
setup for you to be able to easily change your trajectory.
