For 20yd carry wedge shot I feel I do not have to add any elevation to my backswing, only rotation. For the 40yd in this video it appears you add elevation to get the lead arm parallel and your speed is 50%??

Yes you will definitely need to get the hands up higher for the 40 yard shot and add more speed

I have been working the Goat program. Doing the 40 yard shots using my Flightscope Mevo+ (In Nova Scotia golf is over for the season). I give myself 5 pts if I'm within 1 yard of 40 yards and within 1 yard either side of center, then 1 pt if distance is short or long but within 1 yard of center. I go with 20 minute intervals counting points. Last time I had 48 points in 20 minutes and 43 minutes to get to 100 points. I am not counting balls - just time. It's a challenging but fun little game. I'm using my 60 or 52 wedge. My miss is typically 2-3 degrees (left face to target) but usually corrects when I focus more on holding the face like it's staying open. Anyway - doing this 2-3 times a day and seeing very consistent results now. Super hopeful this will eventually translate to longer irons and eventually driver. I currently play to an 11 HC index.

Awesome Tim. The quickest way you can start translating this to full swings is make the same stroke but add ten yards at a time. You are about halfway to a full swing here and it wont take much speed to add ten yards

Ok that is great advice. It's tempting to rush, but hey I have 5 months before I can play outside again. I'm just starting to dig into the Goat Power Sequence as well. I feel like it's coming together nicely. Thanks for the excellent program, I really enjoy the process.

I have started working on the 40 yard wedge shot. How does it look? What do I need to concentrate on?

Looking real good but hanging back on back foot too much. Get more pressure on your lead side on these short shots

Chuck - I have always been a scooper. My problem is in my wrists and hand position at impact. I hit the ball fine when my timing is great. It’s been a long process for me to get my hands in front of the ball at impact and to keep/increase flection in my left wrist. The first four phases of the GOAT Code has been very helpful. I’ve used Hack Motion as a tool for a couple months and it is great as the data helps me get the right feel at the top and impact. At this point, for the 40 yard wedges, should my wrists be quiet? I mean is the goal to have zero to minus 5 at the top and then maintain that through impact. Should I ignore my wrists for now?

Yes, wrists should be relatively quiet. You are still in "clubface control" mode on such a short shot so we don't want much happening here.

Hi Chuck, when transitioning from C4 system to GOAT system then eliminating clubface rotation from the GOAT system, did you notice any loss in distance? Thanks, as always!

Nope, my swing speed yesterday was 126 mph with the driver. I swing just as fast with more clubface stability.

Weird question....where do you look during your golf swing. Back or front of the ball. A few inches in front....Chuck what are you looking at when striking the ball? Thanks!

Just at the ball I don’t make it any more specific than that

Chuck- Great stuff! At 8:30 in this video, you refer to it as a 60yd shot. A slip of the tongue? p.s. Just watched the Power sequence and Power Pivot vids--it's all coming together!

Hi Dennis, it probably was, but I'm working on the 60 yd video today!

Hey Chuck, you mentioned that you hit your wedge more than 100 + yds at that attitude. When you make a full swing with the wedge (60), does your setup/swing change back to a normal takeaway (as shown in the Takeaway video)? Or do you just make a bigger turn and rotate core more quickly? Also with these 20/40 wedge shots do you have your lead shoulder back & up as shown in the normal GOAT Setup video? Thanks as always!
October 16, 2024

Chuck
No, at that distance it moves back to a normal full swing as I would with any iron. Setup is the same for all the shots regarding the shoulder.

Hey Chuck, I noticed that in the GOAT program (so far) there is no mention (except in some comments) of throwing the club head. Perhaps, I missed it....... As the swing gets longer will you address throwing the club head?
October 13, 2024

Chuck
Yes exactly

Is the takeaway the same with these small shots (20 & 40 yds) the same as with a normal iron shot? Also, will I have a small amount of wrist hinge & cock towards the end of this swing after the takeaway?

Chuck
The overall movements are very much the same, but of course, there are minor differences because of the lack of speed and load, etc. And yes, your wrists will need some set here.

Hey, can you check on the move?

Beautiful work. Two small things. One. Be mindful of the lead hip and knee working too much back in the backswing. On a short shot without much time to drive off the trail foot we need to stay a tiny bit more left to ensure crisp contact. Two. You let your head rotate a little early on the downswing and this can lead to slight pulls.

Update I see what you are talking about thank you. I also have another question. When you uploaded that video of tigers foot sliding back, is that a result of feeling like your pushing of the left leg with no weight on the right and it’s sliding back? or is there a feel of driving off the right foot? I can do it both ways but it’s completely different feels. Which one is the right way for what we are going for?

a better way to think about it is that if you are trying to use your core to rotate your rib cage to the left, your lower body would actually need to rotate to the right in order to create torque and that is the feeling that you’re looking for
