No, I just had to take a break for a little bit. I’ll be making more videos soon.

I bought mine on Amazon, the link is in the description

Maybe 100

For my purposes, 3 inches of concrete was definitely sufficient. As for digging into the ground, I didn’t. I used a tamper to pack down the Earth, but I did not dig down into the Earth because I wanted my platform to be above the ground so to speak. I didn’t want my grass creeping over it.

@@yoursimplegolfswingI appreciate the quick response. I’ve been doing research and most sources have said 4” for patio but that seems excessive. There won’t be any heavy furniture on it. I was somewhat worried about an iron strike doing damage but I think a good mat will absorb most of the blow. I think I will be aiming towards 3”

I’m not sure what an iron strike is so I can’t offer any comment on that, but I used high strength concrete mix. Don’t use standard mix. High strength isn’t really more expensive.

Every club

Right on! Thanks for watching and for the comment

They are the same height. I clearly demonstrated that. Length and height are not the same thing. Additionally I don’t think you watch the entire video because you are reiterating points that I actually make in the video.

Generally, same length club sets only pertain to irons. I haven’t seen anyone who has made a driver the length of their seven iron. Many of the modern drivers have adjustable heads that allow you to change both the loft and lie. I use the ping G425 max which allows you to adjust the lie 1° plus or minus. I leave mine standard. I can also adjust the loft by I think 1 1/2° but I keep it at 9°. 9° does allow more distance than say a 10 or 10 1/2° driver. Higher loft drivers are more forgiving and help you hit it a little straighter. I don’t have that problem. Lower degree allows me to work the ball whichever direction I need to whether that be right to left or left or right. It’s just like it’s easier to draw or fade a three iron than it is a nine Iron. A 3 iron has less loft than a nine iron.

If you want the real info on this look up Tom Wishon. His test 7 iron length driver lost big distance. If you want a short Driver try going down to 3 wood 43.5" length, but you will need to add weight to the head to get back to a normal swing weight. 6g+ to the head for every 1/2" you shorten it.

​​⁠ thanks for contributing. I appreciate it. You provided some great information. If I remember correctly, I know that at least a few years ago, Bubba Watson had gone to a 43.5 inch driver in the hope of gaining a little more control, but he also said he felt like he could swing it faster. But as you say if you go too much shorter than that, you will lose drastic amount of distance.

You are correct. What many people do wrong though is that they move their head and upper body to the right. Your head must not move and your upper body must stay between your feet, it’s the right hip that is outside the right foot at the top of the backswing

Richard, thanks for commenting on so many of my videos. I appreciate your feedback and I’m so glad that you’re finding my instruction useful.

Thank you, Richard and thanks for watching!

According to John Marshall, who was Dan Shauger’s top student, my teaching is spot on. John Marshall won the super senior long drive championship twice and he has contacted me to tell me that my teaching is excellent. With that being said, I do not agree with everything Dan Shauger taught because he deviated from Mike Austin‘s teaching a little bit.

@@yoursimplegolfswing may I ask where does Shauger deviate (does it cause problems?)

@richardcarr9447 ​​⁠ the way he rotates his forearms. Many people gloss over the fact that in his second book at the very beginning, he admits that the swing he teaches is not the Mike Austin swing. He says in the very beginning of the second book that the swing he teaches was solely invented and developed by himself and nobody else.

thanks Matt....which book is his 2nd book?

Thanks and welcome aboard!

Ideally, all parts moving in unison

All but the putter

You bring up a great point, and you’ve given me a great idea for a video topic. For now, I will ask you one question with all of the thousands of how to hit driver further swing methods how many of them are based on the teaching of the one man who holds The Guinness book of world record for the longest drive hit in a professional golf tournament? Of all the different methods out there how many of them do people truly research to find out the actual origins of the method?

@@yoursimplegolfswingnone. None of the viewers do research, we all seek instant gratification and success…. Sadly true. Some 20+ years ago I had a 40 minute lesson from an ex Ryder Cup Player here in UK. He was charming and tolerant and had wise words for me. For a whole two days my seven iron was hit with perfection and such feeling. However, that skill fade in very short order takes it all away from all of the viewers. We seek an almost instantaneous effect from watching our instructor. I realise in life that’s just not going to work. But it’s the way of RUclips. I think the technique you show was something I watched in a Nick Faldo DVD some 30 years ago. Of course my first lesson was reading (remember this is in the UK with me as a kid) a booked by a chap called Jack Nicklaus - “My plan for the ‘68 masters”. If ever I come across pine needles I can pull that page from my memory back in 1971. Can I say your instructions may be a little wordy. Effective, but perhaps not easily digestible in today’s ultra fast world. Thanks for you efforts

@@yoursimplegolfswingI know about Mike Austin, and I respect his teaching method. Like I said, nothing to do with your specific channel, just very difficult to find what works specifically for each individual without getting bogged down in the morass.

@Criscross292 take a look at this video ruclips.net/video/Kjq4_KXX-Sg/видео.htmlsi=BMdDbNiSFDGHJvoA

Thanks for sharing. My teaching is intentionally wordy and not fast paced, which I know loses me a lot of subscribers. But ever since I started this channel, my goal has been to reach golfers who want a deeper understanding of the golf swing and to help them develop a swing that is repeatable and dependable. The people that are searching for a quick fix will forever be frustrated with their golf game. Those people can’t be reached nor can they be helped. I am very satisfied with the testimonials from hundreds of golfers who have watched my videos and then taking the next step of buying my online course. I may not get 1 million views on my RUclips videos and hundreds of thousands of subscribers, but I do have the satisfaction of knowing that I have made a permanent positive change in hundreds of people’s golf games.

Austin power!

To get the right feeling, do a squat like in weightlifting. Feel the bend where the top of your legs attach to your hip sockets. Same length clubs would require the lie to be adjusted on every club to be the exact same angle. Each club has a different lie angle. People who use same length clubs do not understand how clubs are actually designed, and that they are actually all the same height.

Thanks 🙏

My pleasure, thanks for watching and commenting

Never seen this tip before

@@peterross8777 yeah I’ve never seen it before either. But I have a lot of experience building golf clubs and just sort of came across this realization on my own. It’s funny though because the club manufacturers obviously had this concept in mind. That’s why the clubs are designed the way they are. Strange nobody teaches about it.

Yes, Alma it is an effortless swing perfectly and efficiently utilizing all 12 major joints.

Yes, GIR is imperative and I’m sure once you started hitting your driver longer and straighter it became a lot more easier hit more GIRs and to score lower.

I had a older Callaway heavenwood 17degree . After about 6 rounds I was pro good with that from anywhere .and it always put me to my favorite number into the green . I certainly agree with this GIR way of thinking , it's certainly less stressful than getting up and down to save par

I'm smaller only 5,9 maybe 165 And was getting 240-270 with a hybrid and always left me a small wedge or 9 iron etc into a green .

@724riff that’s perfect. That allows you to attack the Pin.

Thank you, Tony. It’s good to be back. And thanks for watching.

Thanks Kevin, trusting me with your swing meant the world to me

Hey Rowdy! How are you? Always great to hear from you!

@@yoursimplegolfswing Doing great! Still breaking 80 more often. Still forget stuff now and again but I just go back and rewatch when needed. Thanks!

@@mingoenriquez1931 look down in the description. There is a link to the net and cage kit that you can buy through Amazon.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone discuss this before. It’s something I just figured out one day to be kind of a secret sauce. You’ll really be surprised and pleased with the results when you start understanding this.

It’s a great feeling when something finally clicks

Well, if it was copied, it was copied 20 years before Brian Sparks was even born. Mike Austin developed the swing pre-1930s. Brian Sparks wasn’t born until 1950. If anybody copied anybody Sparks copied Mike Austin.

@@yoursimplegolfswing I stand corrected. I have never heard of Mike Austin until today.

He hit a 515 yd drive in 1974 at the age of 64

Don’t know

Jack Nicklaus swing teaching contradicts Hogan and Player, worked pretty good for him, wouldn’t you agree? Nicklaus swing was very Mike Austin like

The point is there is no such thing as one right way to swing a golf club. Different theories for different body types. We haven't even talked about Bryson, Matt Wolf or Moe Norman! Austin is tall and thin and it obviously worked for him.

I think that’s Golfs greatest lie. I did a video on that. Just because there are so many swings out there doesn’t mean there isn’t one swing that will work for everyone. There is a way to efficiently and effectively swing an ax that will work for everyone. But that doesn’t mean that everybody swings an ax the same way. Telling everyone that there’s a different swing for everybody type will for keep people searching for that one perfect swing that will work for them.I have had hundreds of students of all ages, body types, heights, weights, genders, and I have yet to find one who didn’t have incredible success with the swing that I promote in my videos and my online course. My students have ranged from the early teens all the way to 80 years old. The reason people think that there are different swings for different body types is because they’ve never learned the perfect swing. I guarantee that the Mo Norman swing will not work for everyone. It’s because it’s not the perfect golf swing.

Thank you so much and thanks again for watching my videos. I appreciate it.

I teach the same thing. It’s impossible to take the club back without the forearms rotating because the bending of the right elbow causes the rotation naturally. The only way you could not rotate the forearms is if you kept your right elbow straight throughout the swing. That would be a very awkward and ineffective golf swing

Respect.

Thank you
