Craig! I have a couple of questions.

Hey Craig! I have a couple of questions. I’ve been practicing using the C4 method and I have to say it’s been wonderful. I’ve had some range sessions that are so good it’s exciting to see what will happen when I can finally get it to translate to the course. My questions: 1. My dominate miss right now is a thin pull. Depending on what my clubface is doing it’s either a dead pull, a pull-hook or a pull-cut. Lots of thin shots. My catastrophic miss has been the dreaded snap pull-hook off the tee. Knowing a bit about my swing, what do you think would be the cause, and solution I should work on when at the range going through the C4 practice routine? I pull all my shots right now including short pitch shots and even left arm only during warm up. 2. My short game and non-full shots inside 100 yards are suffering a bit. Am I making the same swing as when practicing using the C4 training? Or is it a totally different swing? Am I fully releasing on these shots, or is there a bit more body rotation? I find I’m coming in way to steep and there’s a lot of fat shots. I do pre-load my lead side but my mind is confused as to what to do. Is there still weight shift? I tried adding in some secondary axis tilt, but that may have caused an increase in fat shots. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! B

Hello Brandon. More than likely high lead shoulder and open shoulders at impact. If you release with the shoulders going left the pull hook easily can happen. If you calm the shoulders and make release more passive the left-left should die out. Wedge shots inside 100 will tend to be more a body release. Take a look at Penetrating Wedge Video. Quieter hands and keep the buttons on the shirt ahead of the ball. You don't want a driver type release with a finesse shot.
