AM I GETTING THROUGH TO YOU MISTER BEIL?#golf #golflesson #golfswing #wildbillmehlhorn

Monte Scheinblum explains the technical nuances of trapping pitch shots using the 'Wild Bill' Mehlhorn method. He demonstrates how a continuous body pivot allows the arms to remain heavy and 'greasy,' creating natural lag and preventing fat shots without the need to artificially hold onto the release.

• The secret to a crisp 'nip' on pitches is a big body pivot combined with a small arm stroke.
• Maintain a constant forward pivot to keep the 'Jai Alai basket' (the clubhead) from casting the ball too early.
• Arms should feel heavy and relaxed in the sockets, falling naturally rather than being pushed or held.
• Fat shots occur when the body stops moving, forcing the hands to flip or scoop at the ball.
• True lag is a byproduct of movement, not something you should try to manufacture by holding on.
