Worked with 12 year old Chase Fritz this afternoon. He's a very good junior golfer in the state of Texas and has played in national events as well. Chase needs to improve his ball/turf contact. He tends to error on the fat and thin side. His takeaway has always been his biggest issue. The club will work inside and this doesn't allow him the proper angle back into the ball.
Today I got the club to sit flush on the ground at address which moved him closer to the ball. Previously he stood too far from the ball and the toe was sticking up in the air at address. Getting the shaft taller and him closer to the ball allowed him to swing the club more up and down.
As you can see I improvised and used his bag to indicate the plane. He practiced hitting some half shots avoiding the bag. It worked very well. His impact improved and he gained some distance and increased trajectory in the process.
I look for some big things out of this 12 year in 2010.
