      Ben, I watched two of your videos and it is very entertaining for me, but it also breaks my hart to see how you struggle. I have a few friends who were in a similar position from a golf career point of view. It is hard to build the confidence that persists during the tournaments. Your attitude is great, but you start to think negative if a second bad luck situation occurs. Its almost as you are waiting for it again. Visualize the positive part to keep a positive attitude. As you concluded yourself, without hitting the fairways a good score is difficult. There is not enough data, but what I see, is that you block on the left heel and your right hand/arm is dominating over the top. Remedy: keep the left shoulder higher at address, head behind(=to the right of the vertical) and maintain the left shoulder higher at impact to exit the release.
      The week left side is typical for players when in defense mode. The right side is the hitting (aggressive) part and all the energy is there as the weaker part is lacking confidence in the process.
      I wish you all the best.

      You should do the pause drill. I see a lot of inconsistent shots. This has helped me become a great ball striker as well. Tiger woods when he was younger he did it and it is such a great drill. I hope this helps.

      @golfscienceguru Месяц назад

      Have the hands line up perfectly with the back of the ball consistently at the moment of impact, and we'll see you in the next US Open. If the hands are behind the ball at impact, they encourage hooks and pulls. If the hands are in front of the ball at impact, they encourage pushes and slices. This is for the driver. Hand position at impact needs to be exact at impact for straight down the middle of the fairway drives. Carry a 4-wood that allows much more freedom in hand positions, and swing variations.

    First, flat out, THE best content you’ve put out to date. Second, I think as much as you’re grinding for a feel, you just need confidence and experience to trust your game. In other videos, when you’re not playing in a USGA Sectional, you hit ALL OF THE SHOTS. Your game is very much between your ears at the moment. I am very excited to be along for the ride.

  • @solson223
    @solson223 Месяц назад +6

    You go at everything 150%. I take it your 2-iron is the fairway finder, but you still go at it 150% and have the same miss as the driver. Unless the holes are extremely long I'd like to see you just hitting some 90-100% swings with that 2-iron. Some low stingers to keep them in play and running down the fairway. Off the tee is the only thing inflating these scores right now. Best of luck in your next tournaments. 😎

    So relatable. Playing in old guy amateur stuff, it's just different swinging when it counts for something versus fun rounds with friends. Up until this year I was hitting driver like you did. Always in the rough, hacking it out. Hard to make par from there. But you can get it back. Just takes work.

    I think Ben has a great game after the drives. Hacking continually out of the rough would even wear Tiger and Phil down, affecting their ability to putt. Although I think Ben putted just fine under the circumstances. Ben's drives off the tee will come around.

  • @GStat7
    @GStat7 Месяц назад

    Ben, start learning to make adjustments mid round and you'll start hitting more fairways, and knocking ball closer to the pin. If your drawing on multiple teeboxes in a row, open the club face a little. If your hitting it short on every pin, take an extra club out, instead of 8 hit a 7. Make adjustments and you'll score better

  • @SamPhillips01
    @SamPhillips01 Месяц назад

    Your attack angle has to be around -7 degrees to hit it left so far. Try moving the ball up in your stance to get your attack angle back near zero or +1. I was doing the same a few months ago, moved it further up in my stance got it back to +1 and couldn't miss a fairway.

    @ssrobison Месяц назад +2

    Love the content, and seeing you compete. Just my two cents, but with your massive clubhead speed, I don't think you should be playing hold off cuts with your driver. Way too easy to double cross and blow it way left and it's a hot ball. You have a beautiful and athletic draw swing, and need to fully release a high draw swinging a bit from the inside... similar to McIlroy. You make your driver a real weapon, you'll play at the highest level.

    Don’t love the negativity especially towards your luck and situation after every shot. Golf is really hard and you will get good and bad breaks but staying positive and focusing on what you can control is the only way not to go crazy. The narrative writes itself when you complain about your game. Have fun playing golf, love the course and trust your game to be good enough and you will start playing good golf

    • @benhaddengolf

      Appreciate you watching. I gotta say man I’ve been pretty proud of my mental approach lately. Being strong mentally doesn’t mean ignoring when things go badly. in my opinion strong mental players acknowledge their situation and then work from where they are. Mentally weaker players might ignore a bad lie instead of making adjustments to accommodate.

    I think basic course management decisions would've saved you plenty of shots. How many times did you go from rough to rough? A player of your level should NEVER do that. There's nothing wrong with chipping out onto the fairway even if it leaves you far back. Wouldn't you rather be on the short grass where you can control your ball than in the rough where you have no idea where it's going? Thanks for sharing your journey with us Ben. Hopefully you'll get that driver dialed in. Pulling for you man.
