How to shape your shots.... the Kaymer way

Funny .....(well I thought so)

I can do that!


nb: Kaymer is just one of a few Tour players who likes to hit a pull-fade as a stock shot (clubface closed and ball starts left of 'square''). The other 99% hit a push-fade.

 

[Imurg]

In defence of Kaymer he was only demonstrating the shot shapes, not necessarily aiming at a particular point (fairway) and, of course, may not have hit the actual shot he wanted to.
As far as demonstrating the shapes - however extreme - he did.

 

[Bratty]

"I'm going to back out here and let you do the teaching"... and then keep interrupting you at various junctures, to spout a load of nonsense and try to pretend like i know what I'm talking about.

I can't take anyone who wears trousers that look like they've left a pair of their wife's red knickers in the white wash!

 

[garyinderry]

could they not be called a slice and hook ? is there not too much of these components to call them fades and draws?

Are you saying that 99% of tour players hit a push-fade as a stock shot?

I really like looking at the pro-tracer shots, really does give you an understanding of the different shot shapes (whether they are labelled incorrectly or not)

is this a draw or hook ? when i attempt to hit a draw (my natural shot is fade) , i would never attempt to move it as much as this!

Yeh, if you didn't see the pro-tracer on Kaymers shots you'd be saying..

"Wow what a swing that looked great, I'll teach that to someone and pass on my great knowledge!".....

not quite the same when he hits the wrong fairway twice



@Alex1975: 99% of pros will play a push-fade when they need to fade the ball as their 'stock' fade shot. There are a chosen few who don't, I'm sure I could dig up a couple that don't.

@Garyinderry: It's a push-draw, starts to the right and returns to the target line.

 

[garyinderry]

does a push fade mean it starts off way left , then comes back to the target line. are these shots now hard to control.

Reckon I'll wait til I've bagged a Major before I pass comment on Martin (top 5 in the world) Kaymer.

Anyway, how can he be expected to perform at his best while that dobber is spouting a load of pish beside him wearing candyfloss trousers - what a tit!

 

[JustOne]

Push fade starts right of your toe/target line and goes a little more right - see the first shot here....

Basically you aim a little left (to compensate), then hit it a bit right...

Later in the video Nick Faldo (2min 16sec) hits a pull-fade, it starts left of his toe/target line and then 'fades' to the right a little.

Agree with this, i'll wait until i've won at least2 majors until i'll pass comment, Kaymer seems a nice guy.

 

[Monty_Brown]

In his defence, Kaymer was distracted by the glare off the guy's teeth.

I like the powderpuff trousers though

You chop around off 16 and couldn't possibly comment on a 50yrd slice or a hook yet hand out advice in the 'experts section' like you're Butch Harmon!

And you wonder why some get bored with reading your posts.......?

 

[timchump]

wow you've done your research well done!

yes when i post in the ask the experts section, i do mention i am a 16 handicap, as in the one post you've quoted, or i use advise that has be given to me from a quailifed pro that has helped me improve my game for real on the course so i know it works,
people can take it or leave it, im actually trying to with help other with my own experiences, what's wrong with that?!

i'm not criticising a guy who's won a major or any other PGA pro's who may or may not sell mars bars

I don't wonder at all Imurg, I just think it's funny the amount of people that are so quick to criticise yet never look at themselves and what they've posted.... maybe it's cabin fever.... maybe not.

I have an appetite for knowledge... and I'm seriously NOT going to apologise for that.

Loving John Dalys' line over the club house in that clip.

 

[timchump]

ps its easy to hide behind a forum, if anyone wants to criticse my golfing game i'm happy to play for real "chopping around" off 16
