Your example with Dustin Johnson really shows what you are talking about. Have a Blessed Easter, Milo

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thank you so much and same to you!

[@OfCourseICan]

Better late than Never! So pleased I found this. This will help me get to Single Figures. Thank You Milo. Grateful Aussie.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Gaining on it!

[@DavidSkok1]

Incredibly helpful visual. This is a shot that I do well on the range, but struggle to take to the course in Florida's ultra tight grainy lies around the green. I think this video may get to the heart of what goes wrong.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for watching David, here to help!

Milo thank you for resurrecting my wedge game on this Resurrection Sunday

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks so much for watching Derrick!!

[@hectors.7776]

Thanks a lot! It’ll help me in my short game😊

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Awesome, thanks for watching!

Got so much both from this site as well as online lessons with Milo and Blake. I was a decent wedge player lofting them in, but since flighting down - with the added stability that swing brings to the club face - I'm shocked how often my body turn "finds" the exact right distance. When we throw a baseball back and forth or shoot a basketball, we don't need to measure how far, and good wedge players are the same, develop instincts. Patience: every swing change I've made, had to live with scores getting worse till the new ways began to feel natural, then leap forward to lower than ever scores. Learning and improving are fun as hell!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks so much for following along and glad to hear you've seen some great results!

[@bjohnson515]

Who could argue with this wisdom! Always good input from Milo.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@ericdehnert3779]

Love it!

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks Eric!

My game really improved last summer because of this very simple but intuitive feel. My problem is that I'm guilty of a bad backswing and rushing down (probably because my brain knows I'm in the wrong place at the top) so i end up rotating my head in completely wrong way.. But thanks for bringing this back in the forefont for me...

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Thanks for the comment and following along!

[@Mizza62]

Great video and scary timing of its release! I just felt this sensation while practicing with foam balls in my living room and then I found your video. Sounds like I’m on the right track! 😉 Would that same feeling apply to the rest of the clubs as well to help get that shoulder down and moving through the shot?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I definitely like to feel like the ball gets in the way of good movement, and making an athletic pass at the ball. It's not necessary to unwind the head, especially prematurely, but this can be a good feel to get the chest turning through. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for following along!

[@jasonpitts8395]

I try to watch the ball as it leaves the clubface. Keeps the head moving. Henrik Stenson is a good example of someone that really gets the head turning early. Thx Milo

[@MiloLinesGolf]

A good thought for sure, watch it leave. Can be a good way to stay in the shot as well.

[@Schnoberich]

Thanks for the video Milo. Your finish and release looks completely different to all the professional golfers in Your video. It seems that the swings are significantly different ?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I’m hitting these shots exaggeratedly low. Go check out Lee Trevino hitting wedge shots it looks very much like what I’m doing here.

[@guitar1950]

I assume that pros such as Rory, Morikawa etc who look behind the ball at impact (actually look at their right foot) are the exceptions?

[@MiloLinesGolf]

No not necessarily, as many pros are in fact lead eye dominant, although I'm not sure what those two players are. With wedges however, players tend to move through it a bit more.

[@randymahony8157]

The last time I played, which was a couple of days ago, I continually lifted my head on pitches. It killed my short game.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

That in itself may not have been the fault, I'd have to see your method to say. Many of the best chippers are actually rising and gaining height through the chip/pitch, somewhat opposite of the golf swing.

[@sir_nicks_allot_8902]

I struggle with this on half wedges even though I don't with full swings.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Even the pros do too...often times avoiding those 50ish yard distances.

[@user-lj2jy1rm1x]

I don’t really understand. If you have say a 50 deg wedge and want to flight the ball at 25 deg then you have to lose loft somehow - it’s just math!. PGA wedge average is 26 - 28 deg. You never see a good wedge player use their eyes / head rotation to do do this - Anneka’s unique head rotation had nothing to do with her dominant eye. She is on the record as saying it was just her way of releasing the club. So the question I have is how do you lose half your loft and stay accurate. As always I enjoyed your video. They get me thinking. Tx.

[@MiloLinesGolf]

Pretty sure I explained all these points in this video?

[@mattgrimmett6067]

I feel like you've overcomplicated the instruction from the beginning, maybe just explain that all you're trying to do is deloft and lag the club. That way the student understands the main principle of what they are trying to achieve before trying to memorize 20 swing thoughts. The old K.I.S.S. method. Also, at 0:13 your slow-mo swing sure looks like you fanned it.... face looked wide open and ball was way right of target line of feet... maybe its just perspective. Please don't be offended, honestly trying to help. I've seen way too many instructors get lost in the weeds and forget make sure the student just understands what the goal is in lay terms. Anyway, you can tell me to kick rocks if you like, lol. Thanks for sharing some good tips and calling attention to very important part of the game.

[@FGrecoJR]

I feel like he did keep it simple. He is explaining how to make it easier to retain some shaft lean and clubface stability on shorter shots. Also I have seen him hit balls in person. He is a VERY good ball striker.

[@mattgrimmett6067]

@@FGrecoJR you've missed the point, if that was simple to you then you aren't who I'm talking about. That info was sprinkled in and drug out. If he would have just said that was the goal from the beginning it would have been better

[@MiloLinesGolf]

I appreciate your feedback, however as the gentlemen above said, I did feel like I kept things fairly simple here in how our upper center moves through the shot. Tying in a few thoughts is typically not a bad thing as we have a wide audience, with many who like to understand the concepts I lay out, and hear and understand things differently. Thanks so much for watching.

[@mattgrimmett6067]

@@MiloLinesGolf I'm sure you feel that way which is why I said it. You're thinking the way you think. I liked the whole video, what I'm saying is in the very beginning lay out the big takeaways. Then go into the minutia.... This way I know the goal before performing a task. Mr. Miagi wax on wax off only works in the movies lol. At the beginning of the instruction lay it out super simple that the goal is this. Then show how to achieve that goal. You're doing it backwards. Also, the fact you ignore feedback you don't agree with says a lot about you... If you only take in praise you'll never grow. Can only lead a horse to water I suppose
