Right Forearm Pickup

Shootin

Can you describe to me how you do this? I think I was doing this last night and found it let me hit the ball real high and get a lot of spin on wedges. Gives me some more options with my short irons if I can get it down especially with the ground here being so hard (you saw Hoylake im sure) with the unbelievably hot summer were having

From address I felt as if I just pulled my left thumb up with my right hand. Very much like a pick up. Left arm was slightly bent at the top

at address without a club hold your left thumb with your right hand, using your thumb and middle finger. now just pull the thumb to the top using your right arm

Yes, that was basically what I was doing. I think (for me) it just gave a slightly steeper swing plane than usual hence the height and spin. I found it difficult to hit the longer clubs well however

Interestingly if youve ever used Leadbetters SwingSetter on a high setting this action feels very similar half way back (i.e the early wrist set followed the shoulder turn)

If yuo look at sergio, he takes the clubhead back very high but he turns left and swings left, while directing the clubhead just on the inside of the ball. this shallows out his downswing. So if you want to keep experimenting with this get to the top and swing left, with your aiming point just on the inside of the back of the ball 1-2 dimples
