Ok, here is the deal. I’m a mid single figure handicap who rarely plays. I have a lot of speed even in my 50ies, eg Ball speed with Driver 172mph. Irons are pulls and poor although strike is ok. Went to the nets before a round today and 5 minutes in I thought I’d try your technique in the backswing. Result, room on the downswing, flushed 5 on the bounce. I then took it to the course and I can honestly say, I was striking my irons like a tour pro. My playing partner, who I don’t know thought I was a scratch handicap, which given the new handicap system I probably am. Thank you so much, you have saved me time, money and brought I smile to my face. I don’t worry about the downswing because it happens automatically. I would like to see a video on driver. I have an overswing, across the line with overextension of my thoracic. I would like to know your thoughts on the driver swing. Thank you again😊
Yes, I have maintained speed over the years, no loss at all. No training or stretching but I have good mobility. I gain my speed to the 170ies by casting the club head behind me to lose the lag which increases the radius. It’s difficult when you have an overswing because the body has to stop to get the hands back on plane. Where are you based in UK? I’m in Surrey …
Hi, I’m going to make a video on driving, in your description are you swinging out side the target line then left, how is your balance at the top of the back swing.
I’m flexible. Too much thoracic tilt towards the target however as a good player I am steep then shallow through impact if this makes sense. Inside the target line although if I want to hit a high cut I’ll raise the handle and swing hard left. Balance is good but on camera it looks armsy.
Gave this a try, 5 minute practice on range then played, ball went so much straighter, I have a natural draw which turns into a pulled hook at times, I’m a 7 handicap and shot the easiest 75 in years plus missed 6 birdie putts inside 15 feet, I know sometimes new things just work because your more focused and get rid of some bad habits but I hope this ball striking continues!!
Just started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. I commented on another video that the right knee to left toe was a lighbulb. I played last Saturday and had the absolute best balls striking of my life. Moving the right knee to the left toe makes it easy to drop my hands and get the club in the slot. I hit a par 5 in 2 for the first time ever at my club. I only (slightly) fatted one iron which was my wedge approach on the 18th and that was just when I started thinking too much. Thank you for making me feel excited about my golf swing again instead of trying all these crazy bowing the wrist and extreme body rotation move that made me so inconsistent.
Very calmly and simply explained.
Thank you 💪💪💪
Ive read Tiger's And Jack's books. The have nothing on this. I love the 8" runway! Makes so much sense.
Jesus the greenkeeping on that course leaves a lot to be desired!
nice video... i like the runway analogy

My friend that comment was so uplifting, thank you. 172 ball speed is a pro speed, I’ll have a think and make a video on driving 💪💪💪

Fantastic! Glad this has helped you!

Your comments make it all worth while 💪💪💪
Why can't you move your wrists? And keep the hands and fingers quiet.? The wrists have to move.. be loose and movable to allow the swing to function..
Hi, the point I’m trying to make is the wrists will move reactively anyway, the main focus should be on correctly positioning the hands.
Are you a golf pro?
Yes still registered as a pro and qualified coach.
