I can’t help feeling you have a habit of underselling yourself Lester. Some things don’t need or deserve explanation. At the risk of sounding like a dad, (who’s only a couple of years older than you!) go and get those collaborations, ask, ask, and ask again. Settle for being in a short if it’s an option, (a cack handed chip with Rick Shiels for example where he has a go is huge). He’ll end up with Matt Fitzpatrick on his channel explaining it!! Pull your resources. The people asking these questions whether social media or otherwise will have their own networks, and most are followers or subscribers for a reason. We want to see you succeed.

@berniebarnesgolf

No problem mate! From the long rough, make sure you get it back on the fairway! Too many players try and hit a miracle shot and instead of a bad shot costing them a stroke, it can easily become 3/4 more to the score!

Good video…..just on the left foot trigger. Have you thought that flicking the left foot out to the left would make the hip turn change through the ball? Is this deliberate……if not, is it changing the transition through the ball to something you are trying to eliminate in certain shots? Personally I have a knee knee trigger, but keep the feet at the same angles as address. Food for thought?
@berniebarnesgolf
7 күн бұрын
It’s not a deliberate movement, didn’t realise I did it until I regularly appeared on KZitem. When I played with Steph, she use to step back with her right foot (widening her stance) as a trigger. I guess it’s what works.

@@berniebarnesgolf 100% the right foot trigger turning out helps the rotation in the backswing…..I reckon you should try the trigger on the left foot but start it turned out and trigger it towards the ball. You’ll be surprised what it does to the flight. It’ll reduce any sideways movement in the flight because the hip rotation will be more stable 👍
