Regarding your left hand. Do you feel like you are rotating it down of or closing it? Seems the glove logo is facing forward at contact. Is that controlled by the right or left hand. I tend to, with full swings, fail to close the left hand, thus leading to a big leak at contact.

Holy crap Chuck, this drill opened my eyes on how to really pitch & chip! Use of the rotary connect got my chipping game to another level years ago and this is doing the same. I happened to have a 5 iron in my hands while doing this on a 30 foot chip and I barely moved the club and the ball barely got in the air, yet rolled and rolled beautifully right up to the hole. I guess I must have been flipping it before. This GOAT stuff is really changing my game and I'm a 5 handicap. Great stuff.

Hey Chuck, Just watched the Fundamentals of Compression video and found that method to work really well on chips and pitches. Does that technique work with Goat Code full swing and throwing from the top? If so I don’t feel it on full swings as I do with less than full swing shots. Doesn’t feel like I’m getting shaft lean on full swing trail side and throwing from the top. I’m wondering if the Compression video fits with lead side method rather than trail side. Thank you. David

Yep, this is the same thing that happens in the full swing. It's likely that you are powering the swing with your arms in your full swing and that's why you don't have the same shaft lean

On this compression drill I do understand the flexion piece with the right wrist on the backswing, but is there also a hinge up with the right wrist? It seems if only doing flexion it would pull clubhead way too far inside.

Yes, there is wrist hinge and wrist cock both happening.

I meant on full swings . Sorry for the confusion. Pitching/ chipping feels great . Not going left

Thank you Chuck. at what distance does the pitch with wrist hinge become a full shot roughly? By the way, used the 9 to 3 core feeling with wrists from top on the full wsing today and ripped it. few left and right as timining is tough and trying not to get too wristy, but the core leading feels great thanks

You will see that as you move through the rest of the videos. Basically 20 yd carry is where it starts to shift. If you’re hitting them left you are pronating most likely too early. There should be virtually no timing in this stroke. If you feel there is there is a mechanical mistake

you are way more cocked on wrists half way back in these examples than the 9 to 3 drill where core leads? is this more benficial?

You have to set the wrists earlier on pitch shots than the 9-3 because otherwise you have nothing to hit with and no feel. The 9 to 3 is a full swing drill.

Chuck, I've been putting, chipping and doing the tee drill so much (one handed) that I find it more comfortable now to do a reverse overlap grip. Meaning, having my lead hand index finger over top of my pinky on my trail hand. I feel I have more control of the club face. Is this going to lead to other issues down the road with the long irons or drivers?

Hi Scott, my only experience with this is when I did it myself a couple years ago after injuring the pinky on my left hand. I couldn't use my left hand at all and had to play completely right handed and did a reverse overlap. I played great and had no issues. I didn't continue with it after my hand healed, but the only thing I found was that I had a tendency to still grip the club hard with my left hand through impact and started to hurt my right pinky, but now I don't think that would be an issue as I barely use my left hand at all.

Good drill, I had a shot like this today, unfortunately the ball was low in the grass and when I attempted to chip it out with a 60 degree the grass was mushy and the club buried in and the ball went 2 ft forward. I need to best access the area and maybe pick it with an open PW.

Hey Chuck, when doing this with Hackmotion what sort of number should I be looking for at impact or what would be the difference between set up & impact? Thanks

Unfortunately, it won't detect shots this short. I spoke to them about this and there is a new update due in a couple months that's supposed to make it more sensitive to pick up shorter shots.
