I've always wondered why there are no videos in this thread for key 5?  Can anyone point me to some?

Key 5 is pretty simple: controlling your clubface. Most of the drills for this involve… starting the ball over certain targets. Within your cone.

All these 5SK Videos are shots with irons/wedges, how can I practice them using my Drivers, 3 Woods, and Hybrids?

They’re often the same. Do you have one specifically?

Over the past few weeks, I was working on these three videos below because I was struggling to hit them with consistent distances and also because I keep hitting the shots at various directions. With these vids I've learned, I was able to hit my irons at the distances I want them to be at most of the time through shifting my weight more (Still need to work on consistent contact, but you get the point). For the driver, woods, and hybrids I know that I have to strike the ball at a more shallow angle, but for all irons and wedges it's best to hit with a steeper angle. I use the same backswing for all my clubs, although I'm more convinced that I need make them shallower.

Before I begin, ball position is largely relevant and responsible for wedges being a bit steeper than 4-irons or hybrids.

Still relevant to all clubs. A bit less important with the driver.

I went looking for this to give a link for a new member and was surprised this wasn't in this thread:

I was looking for the 65/20/15 thread and, while it was easy to find, I was a little surprised it wasn't in this thread yet, given how much instructional content is, at least in part, aimed at correcting misconceptions.

On a related note, several videos in the first post have seemingly been made private since the thread was created.

The videos… are because YouTube moved Unlisted videos to Private some time ago. The problem is… they also stripped all information. I don't know what the title of the videos is, where they are, etc.

I have access to three YouTube accounts, and none of them are still private in them. I've changed the age restriction thing to "not made for kids" (it's not adult content, it's just not targeted for kids).

@mvmac, are some of the videos on your channel(s)?

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
