Liam Robinson Teaches me the Joe Mayo Method (Must Watch!)
Liam Robinson teaches professional golfer James Wiltshire the Joe Mayo short game method. The lesson focuses on establishing a proper Vertical Swing Plane (VSSP), setting up with an open clubface, and dynamically rotating the face closed through impact while pivoting forward. James demonstrates how these technical changes eliminate fat chips and create elite contact from difficult lies.
Set up with weight leaning forward, handle raised slightly off the legs, and the ball position off the lead heel (for high shots) or back toe (for low shots).
Start with the clubface slightly open at address to encourage proper body rotation through impact.
Take the club back on a vertical swing plane (VSSP)—up and out—rather than pulling it inside.
Actively rotate/throw the clubface closed as you pivot up and forward onto your lead side through impact.
