Yes, I know! I told you short game was coming and that is next week, I promise! It is already in the queue.
Meanwhile, we had a large demand for how to crush those woods and drivers with your lead hand being dominant, and I was only too happy to oblige. Enjoy!
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

This didn’t say anything about playing with dominant lead hand at all. This was a basic draw fade video
etc.

The external focus on clubhead path and orientation of cluface at impact (different for fade or draw)
is cause of lead hand ahead of the clubhead. Its a result of the proper external focus.
It has nothing to do with dominant lead hand. Hand dominance is determined by genetics.
(BTW the only way for lead hand to stay ahead of the clubhead, ie pull the clubhead into impact is for golfer to get ahead of the ball, not stay behind it) How do you pull something by staying behind it?)

Your “mind over matter” solution is total rubbish. Also your “pull” the clubhead is scientifically wrong…. and is rooted in 1960’s beliefs of the golf swing. You are so obsolete!!!
