NLU Film Room: Playing Lessons (Soly)

I used to swing this way as well so I know how it goes. 30% you time it right and hit it straight, 50% high weak block/cuts when you leave the face open, 20% smother hooks from flipping the hands too early.

ā€œDon’t cross the lineā€ is such a good simple line for shot shapers out there.

So many times I’ve been on the range trying to keep a draw landing right of the target and instead saying to myself:

The most ā€œIm in this picture and I don’t like itā€ part for me was when Heuber said ā€œYour fade swing has some draw tendenciesā€

As someone who has been (unsucsessfully) trying to learn to shape the ball left to right off the tee I winced a little bit at that one

My exaggerated over the top pre shot routine results in a 2 yard draw instead of an 8 yard draw

I believe they make a couple comments about the gasparilla, so this would have been filmed after

Would you care for an unsolicited observation from someone who’s seen you pummel the ball in person?

@Soly I think I’ve watched every video you guys have put out and I can’t help but feel like you just don’t miss much inside 6 feet, even with the equipment changes. I feel like it’s all but guaranteed you can the comebacker like the one on 4(?)

Is this true in your non-filmed rounds as well?

And again on 5

8 made it move.

Servpro is such a good sponsor for this series. The ad copy basically writes itself!!!

Awesome playing @Soly - can you provide some insight on what yardages you feel like may be a flagstick go zone vs a safe shot? You mentioned a good bit about ā€œX is a birdie holeā€. What makes it so?

Would be interested, but not until sunday. My swing is grooving right now and I have the duel tomorrow. Can’t have any new swing thoughts out there taking on big scott

Hueber’s ever so subtle shaking of the head combined with confused / concerned face as @Soly suggests the wide open face 60° :joy:

I am in short game wedge wilderness so I very much enjoyed this bit.

Love this series.

I’m so so sorry to do this but it just tickles me…I have very much enjoyed this series.

But it’s clear that they filmed all three of these on the same day, and I love love the fact that they had Hueber change each time but Soly and Casey didn’t change despite being in the background since they were filming. Obv Hueber is the main character, but I’ve enjoyed his outfit change each time :slight_smile: I’m sorry to point it out but I’m neurotic and can’t help but notice this things :confused:

Casey’s (see Soly)

KVV’s (see Soly and Casey); love the bright blue on Hueber in this one

Soly’s (see Casey)

I noticed this as well. It was like when I learned that Jeopardy! films an entire week of shows per day.

So funny. I noticed that they filmed it all the same day, but not that Hueber changes his shirt for each lesson!

Wait what - winners literally compete back to back?

Yes. They generally film 2 days a week. 46 days per year. It’s a sweet gig.

This sucks all around. Glad to see there’s some quick progress made to repair before the tournament.

@Soly any word on the ground as to what or why the hell this happened?
