Working on Distance Control with Adrian Meronk



New video featuring a session with two-time Olympian and four-time DP World Tour champ, Adrian Meronk. In this video, Dave and Greg work with Adrian to improve pelvis rotation in the backswing and minimize wrist hinge to improve distance control with his wedges.

  1. Thank you so much for this video! I've struggled with the sway for as long as i can remember. For me when i'm at my worst i get no power into the ball with my woods and weak low hook flights. Doesn't matter how much force i try to create results in even worse results.

    For me, the way i've noticed the "feels" of the sway is that it "feels" like my right hip turns but my left hip/knee doesn't follow, or almost face more towards the target, the left leg just straightens and jerks since i have no room to create turn in the downswing. I've noticed that a motion that makes me feel like the left hip follows the motion of the right and gets me into a position where i feel like the left heel feels like it is more rewersed towards the target, and as i plant it i get so much twist/torque as i generate the downswing has the visuals of more turn.

    After watching this video i had to look into the hinge you focused on with Adrian and it instantly explained the whole picture for me. The motion of picking the club up outside and hinging for me gets balanced with the left hip feeling like it stays or "counter torque" to balance my motion and get me into a position like you said "helps me shallow". As soon as i did a swing where i was more chilled with the hinge it gave me the feel of my left hip swinging around more allowing me the "reversed plant".

    Thanks to you guys now i have a solid feel for how better turn feels for me vs sway and also a club centric picture of what motion of the hands/club allows the body a better motion.

    Thank you guys so much!

    Lets pray for longer drives! haha

  2. One way I’ve helped others maintain right knee bend is put a headcover on the grip of a club, get low behind them and actually push their knee in gently as they swing. Don’t let them straighten it.

  3. O.M.G. I'm 6'6" tall also and for years, I've had a lateral move that makes consistent impact challenging. I'll be watching this video a lot. Thanks so much for posting!!

  4. This is such an eye opener – love these kind of videos. You are true communicators! I'm a true rock'n roller with a strong grip. Have to take this to the range. Thanks for sharing ⛳️
