Hi, I've been a lead side golfer forever, but have lacked consistency over the years. Since starting to study the GOAT code I'm now trying to change to the trail side. I'm starting to get more consistency, but my wedge play has suffered from hitting fat shots well behind the ball....obviously with terrible results! From what Chuck is saying to Mark it would appear that I'm possibly over using the trail arm when using my wedges instead of using my core to rotate the shoulders??

Not getting off trail leg and pushing the arm will cause these shots.

Ah okay. So I'm hanging back on my right side and not transferring the left during my downswing. Thanks for that.

Hi Mark, I'm part of the Old School RST crowd from circa 2008, where the RST was taught using the Hogan dominant side method, i.e., trailing hand is passive, turn with the core, dominant side swing. What are the pros vs. cons of switching? Tiger is regarded as the greatest golfer of all time, but his accuracy off the tee did not compare to Ben Hogan. If I'm being honest, I feel as though I'm back in 2008 and stuck between the 2-plane and 1-plane swing dynamics all over again.

When he is hitting low with a short iron he does take a divot. Often monster ones. But not taking a divot is a result of overall mechanics. Taking a deep divot is often caused by overuse of the trail arm and tigers arms swing driven by his core which keeps them From being overactive and steepening the AoA
