Best quote from your coach in this video - "You're overthinking, what are you doing." 😂 Every one of your videos I have seen, with every coach I've seen you with, the coach is giving you a simple thing to think about, and you always want to complicate it, turn it into something else, think about a different aspect of the swing than what the coach is talking about. Commit to the specific action/movement the coach is giving you, and focus on that alone! You always try to dive so deep past what he's talking about, despite the focus of the lesson being on something so simple! (Note - I hope this isn't taken too negativley, its something i think we ALL do as golfers - but i definitely think it would help). Great video again, keep up the good work, and remember golf is hard!
Agree. Drives me nuts. I think that's Jerome's software engineering background coming out where everything is binary, except playing good golf isn't about having everything work perfectly - it's about putting up a good score despite making mistakes
@boredfool right?! Haha makes the video hard to watch when the coach makes a great point, and then he goes into a completely different thing about some minutia of the swing. But I totally get it, we all do it when it comes to our golf swings I think haha
Agreed. Regardless of what is being taught, Jerome loves to just practice the backswing and shallowing feel with his arms when that's never being instructed. I've learned from my own lessons, to just do what my coach says and to not worry about shot outcomes AT ALL during lessons. Everything will eventually comes to fruition. #trusttheprocess
I’m very excited about this lesson. I’m a low single digit cap that had never had a trigger I liked to start my swing. Hitting the butt of the club on your right knee is fantastic! I’m going to try that for sure. Will definitely let you know if I get my career round this year. 🎉
I love this coach he keeps the head out of it. Stop thinking and just play your shot. You're already hitting well and sometimes on different day your body is tight in different areas so you don't hit a draw you hit a fade. Play the fade that day trust your setup.
Man, what I would give to live in SD and be able to get lessons with Dana. What a master of a teacher. This series has completely transformed my swing. I even downloaded the 3d app he uses to monitor myself over time. Keep up the good work Jerome, you're helping a lot of fellow golfers with these videos!
Started playing a few years ago at end of Covid. Got a coach. Dana has been out to our golf center. Not getting forward or backing out with long clubs and driver has been my biggest issue by far. I just don’t trust or feel I’m gonna be able to get around on the ball moving forward. So I stay back or come up out of the swing spinning back out of front foot. Love the videos.
Ive been in this game for 30 years. In around the pro game for a bit of that. Ive learned so much nuanced information and details that are so vital from these lessons with Dana. Thoroughly jealous i live 3k miles away otherwise i would be heading down to book a lesson. Incredible stuff.
Amazing session, Jerome! Watching you work through these backswing adjustments with such detail was incredibly enlightening. It’s fascinating to see how small changes, like controlling the pronation and adjusting the landing of the club, can make such a huge difference. Your coach's tips on hip movement and external cues were also super helpful. Thanks for sharing this journey-it’s motivating to see real-time improvements and gives a lot of us something to think about in our own practices! Keep up the great work!
The VERY first thing that coach said tells me he knows his stuff. He said, "You can NEVER be too far forward." This is SO INCREDIBLY TRUE. As sn instructor myself, I teach exactly that. Now, it will DEFINITELY feel like you're going to block it WAY right, but once you learn how to clear your left side and release the club enough... BOOM baby, tight draws every time.
I'm fired up to see my instructor next week for a lesson. Edit: I have "lost" my swing and the butt end of the club inside the ball on takeaway and outside the ball on downswing helped me so much. Thanks for posting this and hope to see you in San Diego some time.
New sub. Enjoying your content and learning a lot. I’m in the same boat is you. This is a tremendous amount of technical info to try to implement and think about midstream. I thk we should just play. 80/20. 80% play. 20% coaching.
LOL! I feel your pain because I'm in a similar place and have some of the same tendencies. The goods are great, pure and so good. The bads are bad. When hitting the good shots, it's an awesome feeling isn't it? Dana is a damn good coach! I never fail to glean something from the videos. The thing with the folks watching you and making you nervous....If I had to guess, they are routing for you, not hoping you mess up. Embrace it. The other day I was striping the ball at the range. Everything was going so good, I could hardly believe it. I could hear people talking about the shots behind me which had never happened before. I didn't look, but I let it mess me up and got a quick case of a few bad shots, lol. Anyway, thanks for the great content and sharing your journey.
Because your awesome and you love your 3W like me too.. I'm going to reveal my driver secret.. "Driver swing is a 3W swing" try this next time you want to crush driver: Take driver, tee up with 1/2 ball above driver on flat lie, and imagine you are swinging your 3W swing at an imaginary ball 1 driver head width behind the teed up ball and crush driver forever.
Is Jerome a feel player or technical player. I watch all his videos and sometime feel he’s over whelmed with all the technical data. Some coaches like this one are very data and technical and some find you that feeling and work with that. I’m not saying either is better. Just what works for you
The no club, heel, hip, rotation drill to a strong finish drill, will be your biggest upgrade. After that for on course, you need to really dial in your pre shot routine and make it as close to the same always. More focus and intent before your shots. I'd even consider playing a serious walking round without filming just so you can really get your head in the right zone for how you see the shot before you do your pre shot routine. Like how you would shoot a FT when you played basketball. You had a routine and focus and intent.
Jerome, a few vids ago you had a grip that you determined was too strong… how many knuckles were you seeing then on left when club straight out in front and how many are you seeing now? Thanks!
I learned to play the same way: 6 weeks of lessons, never stepped on a course. When I did, my tee shots were better than most people, but there were a huge variety of shots I'd never even tried: sand, low punch, pitch, chip, hook, fade, bad lie. 😉You're nervous here for the same reason. You need to play to learn.☺
What was Dana talking about for practicing moving left foot forward without club? Rotex? What is the proper word and tool he is talking about? Like you Jerome, want to know all details, anything that can help me!
You've come an insanely long way for one year. At the start you couldn't even make contact with the ball well now ur swing looks better than most golfers.
This is how to give a guy 43 things to think about in each swing. I know the info is good, but good luck applying any parts of this when you are changing your swing.
Hey Jerome, I noticed something during your swing - there's potential for improvement in your follow-through. It appears there's a lack of patience once you make contact with the ball, resulting in erratic movements with your club, hands, and body. Switching gears, as a video producer, I couldn't help but notice some areas where your footage could use some enhancement. The footage is notably shaky, and there's a noticeable disparity in color between the two cameras used. Additionally, the high ISO settings have introduced a significant amount of graininess. However, despite these challenges, your channel is showing growth, which is fantastic to see. Perhaps it's time to consider bringing in additional videographers to elevate the quality of your content.
After 8 years, up north so 6 years, since we can't play, I got it. Mostly due to Paul Wilson who does not do You Tube anymore after 20 years. Why bring this up, because like Peter Cowen says until you feel something you won't know how to get that feeling. It's a conundrum, but then so is golf. For a feel since your coach bought it up when the wrists fall, flatten out, that's the key to the turn. The weight transfer has already started and it's all in a sequence or chain of effects.
Man we’re very similar. And I’ve been told I’m way too analytical. And see the imperfections. I’m sure you are working on it too. Truth is we can get close but we are never going to have the perfect swing.
stop overcomplicating things and take it step by step. trust in your coach and take their word for it. when ever they give you a complement or say that your improving in one aspect, you find something wrong that has nothing to do with what they are teaching you at that moment. just keep it simple , its not a race its a marathon.
I will say this I love your content but every time o watch your video with Dana you change a lot of stuff during swing and going ahead of yourself. Be patient man. Don’t play golf to relax instead relax to play golf is much better. Keep it up
It appears inherent personality affects the learning curve. Lot of doubt, confusion and “not sure” seems to dominate Jerome’s conversation. No chill, anxious and hard to ease into concepts. Seems like best players have, pace, tempo and assurance to not hurry or worry about any shot or circumstance. Not sure how you change core mental approach to accept feel and ingrain new mechanics in easy manner, when anxious and stress dominates all motion. Admire the chase and insight… best wishes…
Likely why in this and other vidoes he clearly states this is not a playable feel so not to do it while you are playing. It's for training or mapping into your swing on the range or without a ball at house or elsewhere. If the student doesn't understand what to do, then what are you paying an instructor for? You are paying for information and why you need to do this motion to improve your game.
Stop worrying about positions so much. I know you want a tour like swing but obsessing about every position isnt helping especially your hips. Keep at it.
@@Dan-e2e Is Dana taking on any other novice to intermediate golfers? Or is he too busy with pro clients like Victor Hovland? I suspect you may be getting a deal since you are videotaping his lessons and promoting Dana on RUclips. Could you elaborate on how much Dana charges the average golfer for a lesson.

He’s an unbelievably annoying student. I’m here for the Dana tips only
This is a masterclass on the hips/pivot! I’ve literally been looking for this level of detail for 26 years!
Just trying to bring the best golf content out there :)
@@JeromeRufin well you’re accomplishing your goal. 😉

Another great lesson Jerome. Love Dana's instruction. He is amazing
He’s def a beast
Dana is a great coach, dumbing it down with single swing thoughts is a great approach. Great videos!
I love this coach he keeps the head out of it. Stop thinking and just play your shot. You're already hitting well and sometimes on different day your body is tight in different areas so you don't hit a draw you hit a fade. Play the fade that day trust your setup.

What’s the app?
Sportsbox 3D
Do you pay for the app?
@@maxskywalkr There’s a free version with the basics, but yes I did pay $15 for the month to get the extra stats and data
Would love to see more of you on course

WOW ! The hips don’t lie ! LOL! GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO! Can’t wait 2 take your driver tip 2 the range later today !

That would help a lot of I could hit my 3 wood

Coach/instructor's analogy between golf journey and job as a doctor is spot on! very wise and sage-like.

Never in my life thought I would see Gary from Team America referenced during a Golf video. Especially a golf lesson 😂
Thank you

3 1/2 before. 2 now !
@@JeromeRufin thank you
Best round I ever had is when I threw the score card away and focused on the shots. Take the scoring aspect out of the round and play the game.
I'm working on the Pivot will see where it takes me.

Well said!
Those birds are in a lot of danger if I am practicing there.
You need to learn how to use your grip to cock the club on the back swing watch prozak
Listen more, talk less…
I have to mute every time he starts diverting with random questions
How about just watch the video. Literally providing free golf lesson to you.

Bro, that’s 2 videos now that the coach’s name and links aren’t in the bio. It’s bad business for both your sakes. Do better!
I saw him in the range at the masters coaching victor hovland. Don’t think he’s struggling for any business lol

You do realize that it's going to take you a decade to get to scratch golf, right?
Yeah. The only thing that could accelerate that timeline is the level and frequency of his instruction…maybe.
