Jim has an absolute wealth of experience in all aspects of the game but over the past 40 years or so he has really specialized in the short game. This conversation shows that clearly.
The big difference between the SHORT GAME swing and the POWER SWING and why you need to know the difference.
- Learning a new set of physical skills
- The crucial element of the pivot in the short game
- Why you don’t have time to ‘save’ the shot in the short game in the way you do in the long game
- The difference between CLASSICAL chipping and MODERN chipping
- The debate between STEEP and SHALLOW, using the leading edge or using the bounce
- What is the real truth and is it a combination of the two
- The law of forward shaft lean and the low point
- How to turn your skills into SHOTS
- Taking your short game skills to the course
As ever with Jim this is a brilliant conversation full of absolute gems of great information
