Deceleration and fat shots

[mrodock]

My question is why does deceleration in a chip shot result in hitting behind the ball, even when the flying wedges are maintained.

Thanks!

Lost Lag. Failed to reach aiming point. Club head was pre-maturely DOWN and the Low Point of the circle moved behind the ball.

So it could be said that overacceleration and deceleration (especially short game) are both demons!

I would say overacceleration is a definite yes . . . however intentional throwaway can be a deadly weapon . . . tune in on television and see it every week on the PGA Tour.

Bucket , when you meant throwaway, bent left wrist or early casting?

Both . . . I have seen David Orr use managed throwaway and casting (hand throw) to hit a 2 iron flop shot that would climb straight up over your granny's boo-font and drop softer than a pimp strutin' barefoot on hot black tar.

It is beyond description . . . one key is setting up on the hands only plane then just sling the lag away right under the ball.

Deceleration is QUITTING- 3-F-7-B, one of the four snares. Slowing or stopping the hands changes the Down and Out clubhead path. Losing Lag not only adds to quitting- in your case from deceleration- but also corrupts rhythm. Bottom line- your machine needs tuning.

Over acceleration is another rhythm corruptor. When your hands “out pace” the same basic RPMs of the turn- components poorly spaced and released inaccurately.

The Pros throw-away because they are gifted ball strikers with exceptional eye hand coordination and can get away with driver throw-away. But many don't know anything about swivel or roll, either.

An open-faced club can be 'slid' under a ball and clubhead throw-away may be the only way it can be done when held very open with a hard outside to in cut.
