Honestly, really just want a short game tutorial from brad. That low nippy spinner is what I feel really separates Brad from the rest of Good Good. Even get's Garrett freaking out.
Open face speed and steep angle of attack keep it open and keep follow through as low to the ground as long as you can. Also it’s a shot that’s completely lie dependent for 99.9% of golfers brads just a freak to be able to pull it off out of the rough
👏👏Unfortunately there are too many experts using the mega slice. If you are in need of golf balls, go to the course, at the men’s white tees, measure 160-180 yards, then head straight into the woods. You can fill a bag.
I really want to see Brad and Garrett do a competition on shot shaping since they are best good good at it. It’s really fun to watch those shotshapping challenges
Brad is honestly the one I’m always watching in Good Good videos to try and learn something. The fact that there is a whole channel devoted to this is fantastic. You’re the man bro! The power drive is a great tool but to be honest I need help with my regular drive lol
Brad has instantly become my favourite good good member to watch. Great golfer, entertaining without being over the top and a really nice guy. Excellent addition to the crew and getting better with each video as his comfortability in front of a camera grows.
I am a beginner, this really helped me understand how position and swing changes the ball flight. It will help me a lot looking at my ball flight and understanding how I am swinging the club. Great video.
One of the best golf videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Brad is a winner at describing and teaching, and breaking down the elements of a golf swing quickly. I like how he is so concise and efficient with his explanations. 👌
You should do a video for looking down at the club (like a golfer's POV in the setup). I struggle with being confident that I have the club face setup correctly and sometimes lose my feel completely because of it
But like what about the the toe of the club and the hozzle? I always feel like I'm exerting extra effort to ensure the toe of the club is flush with the ground...but I've seen other recommendations saying the toe should be slightly off the ground @@braddalkegolf
@@user-px7mm6cq7s For certain the toe is always higher than the heal. Because during the swing the shaft will flex (bend). This is why a dynamic test (swinging) is better for club fitting sessions.
Going back to fundamentals, can you talk about posture and how far/close you should stand away from the ball in your setup. This is probably an amateurish question but everyone is built differently and that might help with rotation on the backswing.
Seen another comment saying that Brad is the guy they're always watching closely on every shot trying to learn from. Feel the exact same way, he's fascinating in the way that Tiger always was - in that you can never count him out no matter how hard a shot looks. That's what makes Brad so perfect for this channel, look forward to every video!
i found driveway reflectors at the dollar store that work great as alignment sticks. they are thin poles with red reflectors on them that you would stick at the end of your driveway. i just smashed the plastic reflectors off and they work awesome and cost a couple of dollars.
I think most lessons on working the ball I've seen are based more on your "mega" versions. I like the more subtle moving your feet adjusting your swing path.
Love this! For draw, I don’t like how so many instructors use bottles or tees or alignment sticks in your takeaway/path When all you need to do is close your stance and swing down line of your feet. I get it when you are way over the top to learn how to swing in to out, but why not give yourself more room in your swing with that closed stance?! Bravo, thanks for the advice!
Great content!!! Videos I'd like to see: 1) Would be nice to know how this shot shaping effect the distance, i.e for draw do I go down a club / fade up a club. Will expect less or more run out from a draw/fade? 2) Wet conditions play, Wind conditions play. Wind speed for 1or 2 stick into vs down fan. How do you guestimate these? 3) Ball above/below feet, downhill/uphill lies. 4) Playing out thick heavy second cut grass, hybrid or just more loft and get back in play... 5) Distance control out of green side bunkers. 6) Green reading and distance control on putting. 7) Alignment and distance control on chipping. 8) How to get the correct distance stance away from the ball for each club. 9) What are you doing with your arms at setup, tight into you body, relaxed, locked out elbows? Are upper arms tight to side of pecks or on top? Hands low or high causing toe up or toe down on the club, how this effect direction and shot shape. Only need help with a few things......... Keep up the amazing content!!! You guys are the best golf you tube has to offer!!!!
Hi Brad, could you give some advice to people like me who hit their irons straight but I fade or slice my woods, especially fairway woods off the deck. Thanks
As a lefty playing off 7 that consistently hits a fade and on bad strikes a huge slice, this is awesome! Time to hit the range and learn to hit a draw!!
Are there any tricks to estimating how many yards to add or subtract when you shot shape? and where to put the club face. AKA if i had a standard slice and hook, whats a good left and right yardage to aim for and how many yards or clubs should i move up to get the ball where i want?
I pray for the day I am consistent enough to be confident in playing these shots. Right now, the struggle is to make sure I get a consistent quality ball strike. Luckily when I do they are straight.
Can you address fixing hooks? I can feel my hands just rotating over so badly lately. I use to have a small baby draw and out of nowhere I have this hook in my swing for all clubs. Cant figure out why?
Alright we need how much forward shaft lean should you actually be using at set up and then also how much wrist hinge should be used in the back swing… then your putter are you a straight back straight thru or is it a little curved path
I found another easy way to hook the ball would be take your right hand and put it almost a under hand grip, when you go to hit on your down swing you will naturally rotate your wrists causing the club face to close and boom huge hook.
What about loft in relation to the shape? Would that be something to address in a more actual playing situation? Meaning that you can take a higher lofted club when hooking a shot than you'd think and get the distance due to delofting that usually happens when drawing/hooking a ball. Or at least so think, I'm not a pro by any means. :D
Brad, you're missing a cleat my guy. Stingers are an interesting shot to hear people talk about. I've seen Tiger talk about them and Tiger talks about not being steep at all with the stinger. He wants to come through with a shallow AOA and low dynamic loft to minimize the spin loft but a lot of guys teach them by coming in steep. I guess as long as the end result matches what you want out of it lol.
Played tennis competitively growing up so never had trouble shaping it both ways. My natural shape is a draw. Can hit a cut but dont much simply because I cant make myself aim left enough. It always starts straight then cuts.
How do you combat a straight draw? Or what could be causing it. Its been creeping in to my game. Ball starts straight--directly at the target but then draws about 15yrdsedt of target (over draw) Is it swing path is to inside and club face is square to target?
Sounds like it’s probably a little bit of both. Too much closed face with the clubface and slightly too in to out. You might try weakening your grip just slightly and see if that helps anything!
As Brad said. Also have someone check setup. If you excessively drop the right arm below the left, you will hit it straight until the last 1/3 slings left to draw hook.
I hit my driver way too high and with a ton of spin. To the point where my 3 wood and driver basically go the same distance. I’ve tried moving it back in my stance but it doesn’t really help. Any tips on that?
Work on getting your weight to your lead side like WAY sooner than you think. I was having the same problem for this last month, and just got on a monitor and I was delivering a ton more loft than usual. I tend to stay on trail side too long and after tinkering with what I needed to do trying to mess with a bunch of variables, I remembered the early landing on lead side and it fixed everything. Basically, for me, I feel like when I shift my weight to my trail foot to initiate the back swing, I feel like I'm using it to push my whole body towards the target, then as soon as I fully land on my lead side, it's just turn and go. It moves the low point of the swing forward substantially, which in turn forces you to present much less loft and you'll compress the ball way way better.
Any chance of getting less golf term explanations next time. For instance on an open stance do you move both feet from square or just the front one toward the ball or just the back one away from the ball? How should your shoulders be aligned, along your feet or still in line with the target?
Make sure at set up you are not slightly aimed to the right, and/or, the right arm is very much lower than the lead left arm. And I assure you 90% of golfers would prefer that hook to a big slice.
I try so hard to follow these steps.. but I find no matter what I do with my feet something. The ball just has a normal flight but straight where my feet were pointed 🤦🏼♂️
'Here's the Mega Slice... It's not a shot you're going to be hitting much....' Buddy, you should come see us normal golfers play occasionally. X) X) X)
Wrong Good Good member to demonstrate the Mega Slice. Bubbie plays that with every club, all day, with all clubs, even the putter. But I understand, he was busy doing laundry on those 1980 athletic socks he tucks his pants into.

It’s coming soon!!

Nice to know the power slice comes in handy. Been practicing that for years
😂😂😂For real says 80% of golfers.
The beauty of my golf game is I can already hit all these shots, I just don’t know which is up next 😂
Every shot was so handy and simple to understand. Except the Mega slice.. I already am pretty good at that one lol
I don’t want to brag, but I’m an expert at the mega slice.

thank you brad for breaking down the different swings.. if im not playing golf, im watching good good.. ty gents

Really needed this one, Thanks a bunch coach Dalke!
these videos are better than the 100s of dollars I've spent on some in-person lessons
Thanks Brad your lessons help so much!!
Great shot shape tips Brad! Very helpful.
Perfect description man. Kept it super simple and direct
Great job Brad, you are killing this, keep it up 💪👍🍻🍻
Great explanations of the different shot shapes there. Really easy to understand.
You should do a video for looking down at the club (like a golfer's POV in the setup). I struggle with being confident that I have the club face setup correctly and sometimes lose my feel completely because of it
If you put the iron up against a flat surface like a board to see what square looks like it should help you!
But like what about the the toe of the club and the hozzle? I always feel like I'm exerting extra effort to ensure the toe of the club is flush with the ground...but I've seen other recommendations saying the toe should be slightly off the ground @@braddalkegolf

Mega slice for me with irons is probably the most difficult out of the bunch. Lovin these videos!
Thanks, I'll be revisiting this video often.
Love your work Brad! See you in the next one old mate.
Great tips! Loving the labs videos! I’m pretty good at hitting the mega slice with all my clubs😂

"you wont be seeing the mega slice on the course very often". You sir, have not seen me hit a golf ball.

The Mega Hook, AKA the Bubbie! Good stuff from Brad and GGL.
😂😂😂Bubbie hits the mega hook all day even with putts.
Great video Brad. At what stage do you think golfers should think about introducing shot shapes instead of just playing their stock shot?
I’ll answer that. NEVER. A straight shot is always a great shot. Leaving working the ball to when you need a recovery shot out from trees.
Thanks Brad
I hit the mega slice every swing!
I pray for the day I am consistent enough to be confident in playing these shots. Right now, the struggle is to make sure I get a consistent quality ball strike. Luckily when I do they are straight.
I’ve got the mega slice down naturally. I’d say it’s a part of my DNA really. Just pure talent if you will.
Ahh yes.. the mega slice, my go to shot for every shot (unintentionally)
Vid idea: Maybe talk about casting and scooping increasing dynamic loft/losing distance.
Can you address fixing hooks? I can feel my hands just rotating over so badly lately. I use to have a small baby draw and out of nowhere I have this hook in my swing for all clubs. Cant figure out why?
How often would you practice shot shape per week or per month?
I would love to learn how to hit a one hop stopper chip on to the green please.
Nipper lesson coming soon!
how about a driver lesson next?
I have a terminal slice so the stance for a hook basically helps counteract the slice so i hit it straight lol.
I've already perfected the Mega Slice
I already had mega slice in the inventory, none of the others though
I hit a mega slice all the time lol, got that one down!!
Alright we need how much forward shaft lean should you actually be using at set up and then also how much wrist hinge should be used in the back swing… then your putter are you a straight back straight thru or is it a little curved path

Or at least so think, I'm not a pro by any means. :D
Yes if I’m delofting and shutting the face I will usually take a club or two less to account for the loft change!
Man, I see the mega slice every time I play
If you're a natural fader, would a draw set up & swing help me straighten the ball flight?
Yes it definitely should!
Ball Striking tutorial!!
This one is 👍
When you move your feet, I’d imagine you keep the face straight at the target to create the draw or fade?
Maybe a video about putter selection.
Noticed he switched to the GG putters.

As Brad said. Also have someone check setup. If you excessively drop the right arm below the left, you will hit it straight until the last 1/3 slings left to draw hook.
Driveway markers at your local hardware store are a lot cheaper then golf alignment stick.
Got that right. I painted mine from green to the color Safety Yellow.
Is that a pxg club?
7:18. ‘’This is shot you’re probably not gonna be hitting a lot”. Ha yeah ok come play with me sometime 😂
I hit my driver way too high and with a ton of spin. To the point where my 3 wood and driver basically go the same distance. I’ve tried moving it back in my stance but it doesn’t really help. Any tips on that?
Have you tried lower tee height? And hit less up on the ball?
@unhingedcanadian6876 hitting up on the ball brings spin down, doing less of that won't help.

Talk to me about standard vs midsize grips big dog
Can we see a how to shallow please
Im hooking my irons rn how can i fix that????

I need one for my nasty slice. Brad help me
Brad dalke: “again this is a shot that your probably not going to be hitting quite a bit”
Me: Proceeds to slice a P wedge.
I try so hard to follow these steps.. but I find no matter what I do with my feet something. The ball just has a normal flight but straight where my feet were pointed 🤦🏼♂️
Should have called that hook the Bubbie Draw
😂😂😂👏👏👏
I think we all got the mega slice down lmaooo
I need Brad to teach me how to not mega slice all my drives now 😭😭
Brad vs Grant please
It’s coming. Always does when they leave the Gay Gay house for their own channel.
