Paul tried the standing a lttle taller made a big diff with driver ,will this work with fairway woods and irons as well. what type of shots will too tall cause.
I like the tall feeling at setup. It should cause you to hit perfect shots. If you aren’t used to it you may hit it a little thin or top the odd shot. Just keep the arms powerless and these shots will go away in no time.
It is the same swing but due to the length of the club it swings flatter. In doing so it bounces off the ground behind the ball instead of hitting it fat. The width of the sole also contributes to this as well. If you are not drop kicking it then don’t worry about it. If you are drop kicking it get off the ball foot as you would when fixing fat shots with irons.
I have been working on extending my arms after impact. I have hit done good shots but sometimes hit drop kicks. Does extending the arms make you fall backwards?
Video shows that I keep my head down for a long time which I think makes it harder for me to get off my right side. I am thinking that if I think about letting my head come up sooner like David Duval, I will get off my right side easier. Do you agree?
You can certainly look down too long. Typically this restricts the follow through and you end up hitting pushes and push slices. As soon you it it swivel your head and watch it fly.

geraldkoenningI don’t understand the difference of hitting the woods and iron shots. It seems they both are the same.

Paul WilsonJohn,
It’s a wider arc. You have too much weight on the back foot at impact. Just do the touch the legs sooner and get the weight off this back foot.
