As a golfer who has always tried to finish with my belt buckle facing the target, your tip about finishing with the body facing left of the target instead, was a revelation. I will definitely give this a try.
The best explanation of active vs. passive release I've seen. The Tommy finish or feeling I'm trying to hit a long one under an avenue of trees helps me. I was an active releaser but golf is so much easier with a passive release. For years, I wondered why my low recovery shots under trees were so straight. Thanks
Just wanted to say - big thank you. Got my smart ball and hit 50 balls today. It was so much harder than I expected I followed your lead - hit 3 - then have 3-5 exaggerated practice swings I still had some inconsistent strikes - to be expect for day one But Also had some good contact - with nice crisp sound. The journey begins Thanks.
Why do I feel all your lessons are based around me😂😂. As I evolve at my middle age…… your lessons are exactly what I need to do. Two years later I’m feeling the change…… I can hit a ball now so nice and relaxed without forcing excess movements Thank you mr Chown
I had a difficult time with rotation. I understood I needed get the hips more open at impact and continue rotation, but no matter what I tried, my hips would stall and I'd be more or less square at impact. Two things helped me fix this problem; 1) Stop over rotating my hips during the backswing. There was too much distance to cover and it made it difficult to build tension. The feeling of keeping the lower body more quiet helped. 2) Understand that impact should feel like it happens "behind" me. Once my intention changed to getting the low point 1-1½' behind the ball, it forced my body to rotate. Hope this helps someone
Absolutely. Flipping can causing the swing height to lower into the ground causing fat shots. Less hand action will help maintain the radius of the arc 👍🏼
When I see you rotate like that my back cringes. Would you teach this to a 74 year old guy who only has a half backswing due to moderate flexibility, or should I develop the flash speed ‘Ernie Ells’ swing type? Thanks.
Coach, would you agree that probably everyone watching has different swings, its so varied its frightening eh?? so with all respect the varying level of skill sets makes it almost impossible to say , do this or do that, it just complicates everything, maybe a simple video with the absolute "musts" i have verygood eye/hand contact and have just started to work on drawing the ball more , ita working as i release /wrap the clubhead around the ball at 7pm and throw mty arms out to the left drawing a la topspin tennis motion through and finishing left its starting to work, just working on start lines to get the finished ball landing ideally, im han 9, 65, years old, been as low as 3, draweing will give me the extra distance i need , ideas and regards
I thought the post up move stopped the rotation briefly allowing the club to accelerate past the hands the body then continues and the wide open finish which so many try to achieve artificially comes after.
Why is it that whenever I am demonstrating how to hit a shot around the green or with an iron to help my brother I hit it perfectly but when it comes to my own shots they are always so meh. Lol

Great video. This isn't covered enough. Much appreciated
Nice vid Johno. Definitely would lead to a stable clubface.

Sorry off topic but what brand/model is your practice hitting net? It looks ideal. Thanks
It’s an ‘OnPar’ net 👍🏼
@@jchowngolf In the US I think it goes as Sim Space Deluxe Practice Net
Does this help with bringing low point forward? I flip at the ball sometimes and hit fat shots I hope this will help

Rotation is far safer on your back than stalling out to flip. The rate of rotation is what matters here. Keep the rotational speed constant

great vid !

I have the club face closed the entire time.
I get one good shot out of ten with a "flash" release. The one good shot goes far and straight, the rest are complete disasters.
😁👍
