What solved this issue for me: 1000s of swings with a chair behind me backside/butt touching, never lose contact with chair thru whole swing. Faster method: push chair away with left hip at impact. This definitely keeps you down on the ball. James from Palm Beach
Thank you I watched your shows every time I get a chance I'm from North Carolina I play golf a whole lot but I still slice and I made everything but I like to watch your shoes because you are helping me out a whole lot and thank you very much keep up the good work

Todd Kolb is a fabulous teacher as he makes it so very essay to understand. I am 85 years old and have played golf since I was 8 years old. Thank you Todd for all your help. I am from Nashville, Tn.
Orlando, FL, age 73. Brilliant. I've been having problems with erratic hits, sometimes just thin, sometimes blading or topping. I've watched a LOT of YT videos about topping but never one that addresses the root cause for me. Thanks so much.
Made our day! Thanks for posting. I am excited to announce my first book geared directly for the “experienced” golfer. Here you go www.amazon.com/dp/B0B35T5JMR
In all the golf videos I’ve watched on RUclips no one has ever described “standing up”. Yes they talked about topping the ball and lifting but not described as “standing up”. This instantly resonated with me and describes my problem. I will start on the fixes you described starting tomorrow. I knew about the feet flare but not the hip hinge. The Jack Nicklaus tip was given to me with the wrong eye, so when I’ve tried that I’ve been locking my head instead of freeing it up. 😂 thank you for a very good video.

Hey Todd, great lesson mate. My miss is a high block to the right and i feel like this is from standing up. Love the Jack tip tilting the head ill try that for sure. My go to is keep the right elbow tucked to your hip, it tends to keep me in posture for longer. Not super old at 48 but love the practical tips you give. From Brisbane Australia ⛳️🏌♂️🍻
Hi Todd, great lesson. Rick Smith taught me about 30 years ago that to stay down and thru the swing, initiate the swing with left hip, swing thru with head cocked right (ear down ) and follow completely thru like you would skip a rock. From the rear view you finish with your upper body tilted right from the hip- - all good players finish this way. On your last swing that’s the way you finished ie., upper body tilted right arms high. Also allows your arms to extend, not chicken wing. This has worked for me for 30 years and I’ve never changed it and had a lot of success (club championships, etc) that way.
Eddie from Greenville, SC My buddies kept telling me this the last time out. You’re right I didn’t have a clue about how to fix it. I’m going to try this next time I go hit. Head, hips, toes. Got it! Thanks Todd!
At 3:13 or so, I put my cursor on the top of your head and pushed play before your swing. After your swing, my cursor is almost at your neck, so it's pretty clear to me that you're standing up. In slow motion, your head is at the same spot, almost, during setup as when you make contact with the ball, which is what you're trying to demonstrate, but you're definitely standing up after contact is made with the ball. All that said, thanks for all the great videos.
Solid point, note the head does have some movement and if anything works up and away vs down at impact. The KEY is to not overdo it or do it too early. Thanks for posting.
Took up golf again now that kids grown and get ready for retirement:) You have helped me so much!! I am a breast cancer survivor and your tips help me rock despite major chest surgery!! Thank you!!
Linda, thank you for the kind words...hope your health is ok. Golf is a great sport we can do for many years, with many people and be outdoors. If you enjoy reading, you may want to check out our book, The Bad Lie. It goes through the entire game step by step www.badliegolfbook.com/
Love both the content and your clear/natural teaching attribute. I always believed the standing up came from lifting the head. I'm not saying it CAN'T happen but I believe you are spot on here. My rotation sequence needs work...and that's being complimentary! Thank you Mr. Kolb, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I took up golf late in life. Now, at 68 I am addicted!
Amazing. I actually am really struggling with this due to playing indoors during our last Maine winter after back surgery. I played four terrible rounds in a row since the courses opened, and THIS and putting are killing me. I was pleased to see this as today's video, and am glad I have subscribed. As a senior golfer, with some serious disabilities, I find your tips to be very helpful, and they seem geared more to "regular" players, rather than near scratch golfers. Thanks. BTW.......Your putting tip about slightly hitting down on the ball, with an upward swing, really seemed to help, yesterday. Only one three putt when I had been averaging at least five.
Great advice, Todd! Thanks! I'm 70 Y.O. and not flexible. My pro had me swing more vertically and I can rotate better, much better rotation & ball contact and no more shanks, casting, or topped shots!
Greg, it's never too late to start doing/learning yoga exercises. Golf is a sport, believe it or not, LOL. Now we don't have to be pros at it, at our ages, but we can get better, and get in better shape for it. Get loose, walk the course (push cart), and have fun, partner.
@@USGOLFTVshow Positioning of the feet and head. I checked and I do (or did - am trying not to) have the feet straight or slightly toes in. Also have a tendency to lift the head as I swing and tilting it back/right a little helps combat that.
Peoria, Az. Thanks Todd, your tips and simplicity of the how to make easy adjustments have really helped me. I was a solid 17 handicap, with your tips I have gone to 14. Keep posting these videos they' re great and easy to follow.
As a fellow teacher I find you recommendations insightful. I find with my students who stand up (come up out of the swing) is most often due to poor swing sequence- they start the down swing from the top and results in a very rushed downswing. I would appreciate your insights on this. Great video. Thank you!
Todd, I believe Jack Nicklas turned his head with the left ear lower than the right ear to start his swing. Opposite from your head tip. Am I wrong? Thanks.
Funny you should say that because if you look at Todds final swing you will see that he does the opposite of his tip and tilts his head so his left eye is over the ball not his right which is the way I was taught..
Great vid. Love the tips on how to fix things. My rotation is poor with the driver so I’ll try these tips and hopefully get better contact without slicing. From New Zealand. 👍
Thank you. Hope you are enjoying the channel. Have you seen this video we did last week on improving contact? See here ruclips.net/video/xybmU3Lrh80/видео.htmlsi=rSWtFIei7Ylbh5sX
Ray Lyle 82 years old from South Africa - I was totally convinced that my weight was on my front foot. Then I asked my granddaughter, using her cell phone, to take a few pics of me striking the golf ball. HA all, and I mean all my weight, was on my back foot!!! With the help of the photographer my weight is now on my front foot and everything has improved. Many thanks!!!

Thank you for tips I’m from Sydney Australia
Awesome! Australia is on the bucket list. Where do you recommend playing when visiting?
Todd, Mario from Rancho Cucamonga, Cal
Great tips! Easy to remember when out playing. Looking forward to your next video.
Appreciate your post! We have a record summer of content planned.
Todd, I believe Jack Nicklas turned his head with the left ear lower than the right ear to start his swing. Opposite from your head tip. Am I wrong? Thanks.
Funny you should say that because if you look at Todds final swing you will see that he does the opposite of his tip and tilts his head so his left eye is over the ball not his right which is the way I was taught..
Good tips.Will try it out tomorrow -John Ndung’u (Nairobi Kenya)
Awesome! What is the best course in Kenya?
Will try this next time out. Essex England
Once again great advice Todd!

Ray Lyle 82 years old from South Africa - I was totally convinced that my weight was on my front foot. Then I asked my granddaughter, using her cell phone, to take a few pics of me striking the golf ball. HA all, and I mean all my weight, was on my back foot!!! With the help of the photographer my weight is now on my front foot and everything has improved. Many thanks!!!
Ray, post of the day here! So great that golf is bringing you and your grandkids together. Golf is the best game. How long is the golf season there?
A little over 365 days if it does not rain!!
Great tips Todd I can’t wait to try them cause I do top the ball a lot. All my buddies say I’m try to kill the ball but I don’t feel like I am.
Scott, give this a try and be sure to let us know how it goes. Also, don't listen to buddies LOL😀
Thx for the great tips. John,Halifax,Nova Scotia
