Learn how the pros "think" and shape their shots and how you can learn how to shoot much lower scores just by simple strategy changes. This series will teach you how to shape shots, how to align yourself for the greatest margin of error and how to become a master shot shaper.

  • The 9 Days to Amazing Ball Striking series covers the four critical factors in controlling ball flight
  • Learn how to hit a draw or a fade
  • Learn how to hit the ball high or low
  • The series concludes with a drill tying all your new skills together - the same one Tiger uses to practice his ball striking
  • Learn one of the secrets to Ben Hogan's success and how to incorporate it into your own game


hey guys Chuck Quinton here and I'm very excited to bring to you my nine days to amazing ball striking series now what I'm going to cover over the next nine days is how to learn how to really golf your ball how to really play golf at a high level different than what you're doing now now you may be thinking hey I you know I'm still working on the fundamentals I'm just trying to hit the stupid ball straight every time show you me worrying about the shot shaping and all this stuff absolutely the reason is I'm going to weave in the fundamentals of RST into this whole series so impact and release and all of those things are critically fundamental not only to the basics of RST but also to shot shaping so what you're going to work on while working on your course management and your shot shaping is also continuing to reinforce your fundamentals everything with RST is progressive so as we work on one thing we stack on one piece we stack on another piece and so on and this is just one more piece to stack on there now of course if you're struggling with just getting your weight shift right some of these things may be a little bit too advanced but you can still work on them and integrate them into your drills one of the things that I read the second thing I really want to help emphasize is that the pros don't hit the ball the way that you think they do most of the time I still remember my very first pro tournament and I came in there thinking every ball was going to be struck absolutely perfectly and all these guys were going to hit the ball three feet from the hole and make every putt that they looked at and the simple reality is it's not like that at all even at the highest levels the reality is golf is a game of about 80 or 90 percent failure and so it's really learning how to take that 80 to 90 percent and keeping it from biting it too much because when you start making a par turn into a double bogey that's when you have problems the reality is pros are always trying to mitigate the downside that's really what we're going to walk through in these next nine days I'm going to show you how to not make huge mistakes on the golf course that really cost you a lot of strokes and learn how to golf your ball in such a way that's going to allow you to position yourself to always be able to save par or at least the best score possible for that hole when you start compounding mistakes that's when things start going really really awry so we're going to work on shaping the ball we're going to work on course management how to set up how to align yourself and so on and we're going to show you how to put the ball in the right place every single time and how to start eliminating these huge blow up holes because believe it or not even if you struggle with shaping the ball or just hitting it straight right now as you learn to start thinking your way around the golf course you start playing more intelligently it's going to help your game you don't have to hit every single golf ball perfectly straight in fact most tour pros don't even try that but that's what every amateur does they step up there and they take a shot and say okay it's a hundred and sixty yards I know if I hit my seven iron just perfect I'm gonna hit it 160 yards and hit it right next to the hole but if I miss it just a little bit or I hit it a little bit right a little bit left I'm going in the water pros don't take those kinds of chances when we step up to a shot we're gonna give ourselves the greatest chance of success we don't put the expectation or the pressure on ourselves to have to pull off this perfect shot every single time because it's not realistic nobody can do that every single time so I'm gonna show you how to put the ball in play the majority of the time so you can start shooting better scores right away

Hello. I am currently working on ingraining the standard golf swing. I am at the stage where I can make slow swings (with a little pause and conscious thought), hitting the ball a short distance with left hand only and using both hands as well. Checkpoints look great but will confirm with a swing review soon. Should I work on shot shaping at this point or should I wait till I get to that 3000-5000 range with the standard swing?

Hello Tausif. I would get comfortable with standard/stock swing first before you start worrying about manipulating ball flight too much.

Should I shape my tee shots on holes that are left and right?

Hello Julie. Yes, that would be advantageous. However, it is more important to learn how to play and control your stock shot before getting into advanced movements.

Hello Peter. Thanks for the well wishes. The system has been a little finicky off and on because of the storm, but looks like we are back on track. Happy to put up with the baloney to keep you from ending up in even more baloney .

He hit the ball very short because he restricted the wrist movement in his swing. His famous driver demo where he hit balls into a circle on the driving range for an hour was only 230 yards out. The reality is that most any tour pro could do something similar at such a short yardage these days.

Hello Shane. Face typically controls the vast majority of initial ball flight. But, yes typically in to out with open face would lead to a push slice.

Larry there is a video on here about taking it to the course while you are learning a new swing. It is very good. Basically just focus on the target target target! Do not think mechanics at all just let it go

Hello Chan. Take your time. Golf swing changes are a process. Work through the progressions at a comfortable pace. When you feel like you have one down pretty good, stack the next piece.

Hell Eric. A shorter club would be wise. 8 or 7 Iron would be good. No need to start with 3 iron .

William, Yes, it's very important to be able to hit the ball straight on purpose first before we try hitting the ball left or right, up or down on purpose. Good luck on your progress! R.J.

Most swingers tend to let the right arm bend too soon. So, the feeling or exaggeration of keeping the right arm straight allows the shoulder blade to stay engaged and focus on rotating back versus just placing the arms. The right arm does have to bend at some point. There will be approximately 80 to 90 degrees of flexion. The upper right bicep and upper peck will maintain some connection if the arms aren't transported independently of your turn. Take a look at the 3 Functions of the Right Arm in the Backswing Advanced Section for more detail.

The right arm is the is critical for creating width in the arc. The very top of the bicep and the very top of the chest (extreme top of both) are connected into the top of the backswing. Check out the 3 functions of the right arm in the backswing section for some further clarification.
