#Short Your Slicing and Over The Top days are over!
#Short The best way to stay consistent in your swing is to keep your swing plane. And the best way to keep your swing plane is to point the butt end of your club at the ball just before releasing your hands. Immediately your slicing and hitting over the top days are over. #leetrevino #scottiescheffler #rorymcilroy #golfswingbasics #golftips

    What do u think in downswing? How u bring club to square to the ball?

    • @TheForgottenGolfer
      @TheForgottenGolfer Месяц назад

      I believe its not a forced action - the downswing for me is the product of a gentle lateral move to your front foot after establishing the proper swing plane set up by the upswing. So basically aiming correctly, taking the club back on swing plane as your weight shifts gently to the inside of your back foot, Following by the weight shifting to your front foot, your wrists are loose enough to keep the angle as you contact the ball on plane. The weaker your grip, the more your arms will turn into the ball, the stronger the grip the more your hips will have to lead your arms with less rotation into the ball.

    You know how I know your are right? I'm 68 and struggled my whole life playing lousey golf. Just this year after years of painful analysis, I came to the exact same conclusion you did. One thing more, and Pete Cowan said this too. Practice holding the club with the trail hand all the way down to the shaft. The feeling you get is one of a consistent solid strike. Then using that feel, bring the hands back together and you'll hit it a little farther. You soon realize that the left hand passes the ball first then the right hand delivers the blow in perfect timing. I must have watched, I don't know, maybe 5,000 instructional videos and now I'm done. One last thing. Most of us are right eye dominant. The vast majority of tour players are right handed, but, they are LEFT eye dominant. This is a fact! So now I look at the ball with my left eye and my entire perspective has improved too. Jack Nichlaus taught this too! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Let them all go nuts with useless instructions. I now play to my highest ability!

    @orkayen 2 месяца назад

    Thanks for sharing. Simple swing with results. Do you keep the ball just off-of center for most of the clubs? How high you tee the ball for driver? top of the ball to the crown of the club?

    • @TheForgottenGolfer
      @TheForgottenGolfer 2 месяца назад

      Yes I keep the ball positioning the same for most shots. The driver is slightly up more, the short irons are slightly back more. The length of the club dictates this, but I'm talking by the inch. See how you feel at the driving range when you are practicing- the spot the ball hits the club and the flight of the ball will give you an indication where it feels right. Now your divots will also give you a clue. They should be straight at the target if you are trying to hit a “straight” shot. The driver I tee 50/50 - half the ball above the top of the driver. (I do use a Callaway Mini driver set to 14° of loft)

      Don’t stand too wide. If you are flexible it’s grt. Look at Fred Couples’ swing. Long and languid, and not standing too wide. Another example is David Duval, not a wide stance at all. As someone said range of motion will always beat technique. And as Tony here said tempo and timing is key.
