The video above is Bryson deChambeau explaining his Warm-up session before a golf round. There is a lot of extraneous footage in the video (to include commercials) so let me summarize it and modify it a little for the MA2 Player (all the rest of us):
- Start the warm-up session by the clock Half-swings (9 O'Clock), three-quarter swings (10 O'Clock) and full swings (11 O'Clock).**
- Concentrate on finding the ground Start with the ball in the middle of you stance. If you are hitting fat shots (behind the ball) move the ball position back in your stance. If you are hitting thin shots (not hitting the ground) move the ball up in your stance. Bryson's bad shot (mine too) is a fat shot.***
- Pay attention to shot dispersion and direction (draw=closed stance, straight=square stance, fade=open stance) Bryson always hits draws!
- Work up through the bag Lob Wedge, P-wedge, 8-mid-iron, 4-long-iron, 5- or 7- wood and Driver.
- For your last shot, use the club you will hit on the first tee Usually Driver.
I would make some modifications for the Muscular Advantage MA2 Player:
- Half-Swing Because of limited flexibility, the MA2 player's full swing is basically a half swing. To create an MA2 half-swing, use an open stance (Lee Trevino style).
- Three-Quarter Swing Square Stance (Arnold Palmer style)
- Full-Swing (Only with the Driver) Bryson-style, ball is on a tee, swing as hard as you can for a full shot (use the half- and three-quarter swings as needed).
Notes
** Personally, I don't see any reason for hitting full-swing (11 O'Clock) shots with any other club than the driver. Bryson does not hit full swings with his 60-degree wedge. For me, the same goes for short-, middle- and long-irons. If you need more distance, just choose one more club. For the 7-wood, 5-wood and 3-wood, see what happens with the full swing. If you start hitting wild or fat shots, just go back to the 3/4 swing. For the driver, the ball is up on a tee. If you need more distance, just go all out (Bryson does--sometimes). There is usually a big fairway out there and accuracy may be a secondary consideration. We you need accuracy with the driver, use the 3/4 or half-swing since you've practiced this shot.
*** For fat shots and added power, use the Standup Move from Stack and Tilt (and here). It is an implementation of "vertical ground force" in the golf swing (see Below).
Unlike the standard MA2 swing ("Hands low, club head high") extend your arms out and stand tall, copying Bryson's single plane swing (see below) to avoid fat shots!!!
