Played this afternoon Jimmy (Scotland).Really poor, got to the 12th and thought "who gives a shit".Totally relaxed myself swung slowly resulting in a much better last six holes. Such a coincidence you've put this video out. Best instruction on the Net.
Jimmy, you are by far the most relatable coach in RUclips. I have just gotten back to playing golf after almost 19 years of not picking up a club. I have watched countless tutorials and none of them are as understandable and effective as yours. You make golf more relaxing, fool proof even, especially to us professionals who would want nothing else in the game of golf but to get our minds off of work and enjoy the game for what it is. Looking forward to more of your videos. You have earned an avid fan in the Philippines!
Smooth is fast. Even jimmy’s swing is whippy and fast but smooth. To All the weekend golfers, that’s 95% of us.. jimmy’s teachings is gold and it works! He makes golf fun as easy. I now shoot in the 80s consistently. I used to shoot mid 90s swinging out of my shoes. Use whatever’s applicable and apply to your game. The only thing I don’t do is placing ball towards the back foot. But like I said, use what’s applicable for your swing. Everything else works 1000%. Best golf instructor on YT!
One of your best vids ever ! I will definitely share it with a ton of people. Golf is not a power sport .. it's a finesse sport. I learned a lesson way back when me and my jock friends had a 75 year old join our 3some. Sure we had a few 300 yard drives but the 75 yr old hit every fairway with 220 yard drives and shot 74. Haha .. he chipped like Tiger using your method !!! Just KISS !
As Usual Jimmy you have hit the nail on the head.. Trying Harder tenses you up as you said and by relaxing your Rhythm suddenly gets better.. because your not forcing It...Great Advice Jimmy about keeping it simple and repeatable...Many thanks
Great vid Jimmy ! You're uncovering one of the most important secrets to great golf .. no tension repeatable. I believe the minute you try to kill the ball - all is lost. People just need to look at Freddy Couples or Ernie Els .. both long hitters but both not trying to overpower the ball. They look like they're doing practice swings !! But they can repeat their swings all day long.
Best videos out there for us amateur golfers hands down and I’ve watched a lot of them but Jimmy is hands down the best!!! Words of wisdom for us who over think it at the tee box. Thanks Jimmy for taking time and making these videos for us 👍🏾👍🏾
The one tip. Moving the ball back, what a game changer. I played 18 holes only using 5 iron and down. Game changer. Didn’t worry about score. Love it. Thanks for all you do.
My best drive ever last week. 225 and I was so relaxed I was amazed. Now, replicating that is something else. But that one drive let me know it’s possible! Thanks Jimmy.
@@TropicanaEntertainment just joking about Moe. But your resemblance to Fred Couples is accurate. Your golf philosophy has helped my game. I have slowed down, relaxed, not upset with bad shots anymore, take my bogeys and move on. The game has become more enjoyable . Thanks for your great videos. Keep them coming. The mix of instruction with humor is spot on. Keep it in the short grass.
Jimmy, love your clothing style. Classic 60s Vegas vibe. People should try to look respectable, dapper if you can pull it off, and you set a good example. This video? Another good one, on target. Behind the tree. you stated, "take your medicine". Bingo. First goal, get it back on the short grass in play. Second goal, forget the impossible hero shot but try to advance the ball. I struggle with that mentally. I am letting go more and clearing my mind more. Thanks.
What draws me to your "system" is, that it is what Ive been practicing for a few years now introduced by Brian Sparks at the "Easiest Swing". Especially your emphasis on the finish. A slower swing with no mental thoughts and tension and a nice finish. I do NOT hit the ball the longest. BUT, I hit it straighter and never get into trouble like the "long" hitters in my group. One time I was hitting my second shot into the green, a nine iron, and I overheard one of our playing partners whisper to another , "watch how easy he swings". That comment reaffirmed the easy swing system with me and I realized that others noticed! As you said, be the one with the nice fluid easy swing. I love how you , in a different way, but all the same, go by that thinking. Thats why I think your teaching is so refreshing and spot on. Its also nice that you make it so enjoyable to watch and learn. Great job Jimmy and great channel. Thanks for doing what you do. I truly believe that you are changing a lot of weekend golfers games for the better.
Best game ever on Tuesday (only golfing a year) 5 pars on 9. Wednesday played my worst game ever. I needed this. It went off the phucing rails yesterday. :)
@@TropicanaEntertainment yes that's what is great and frustrating about golf. When I played football I didn't all of the sudden forget how to throw the ball. Golf is crazy! Love it though
Hi Jimmy, you are a great mentor of the golf game. I have improved greatly using your techniques, even the guys on my golf league have mentioned my improvement. One technique that has helped me immensely is on putting, the hot tub thinking has made me a better putter, now I need your technique on how to fill the hot tub with the neighbor’s water. Thank you again, Ron Pagliaro
I don't take swing advice from youtube videos, but I watch because I love your mental game and I want to support channels welcoming new players to the game. There's also always that random nugget of wisdom that you drop in every video... I'm not your target audience, but I'm still here for it.
@TropicanaEntertainment oh it wasn't meant to be offensive, my friend. You asked for feedback is all. You see me in almost every comment section. Here to support the new guys! 👍
So I’ve tried probably every technique on YT. I only play 20-25 games a summer so consistency is hard to achieve. I tried this technique yesterday in what was my second round of the season and was amazed with the results, especially with the irons where I always struggled. Seriously I was hitting it straighter and farther with less effort, easily 1 club farther. Thanks!
I have been swinging it hard practically every weekend trying to outdrive my friends and mostly end in disaster. I got frustrated and losing the excitedment of the game. Only recently I came across your vids and gave it a try. Not perfect as I have a bad tendency to hit it hard whenever I hold long clubs. The few shots that were straight and long with your swing methods( I need more practice) dumbfounded me, yes my friend as well. Thank you as I now know there is a better way to play golf... this vid on repeatable golf swing is a gem. Sorry for this wordy comments.. just want to let you know and my thumbs up..
Jimmy; Have watched your show since you were about 7500 subs...loved almost every minute of it! I have commented about how Moe Norman would have agreed with much of what you teach. Today, however, I watched an old video on youtube by Sam Snead called "Sam Snead: Secrets for Seniors". PLEASE look it up and watch it. It reminds me of a older, slightly chubby Jimmy professing what makes a good swing. Watch his swing, listen as he talks about tempo, balance, less than full swing...damn near your whole program. I have never seen your ideas told by an icon of the game before. (although I have agreed with it from the beginning!) If you could get permission to use some of the video you could build 7-10 shows just showing that what you teach is not just tongue-waggle. Even if you just talk about it, it would be something special. Keep it up! Bill from Kentucky.
I listen to your video and immediately after the next day, I shot my best score ever 79 and with a few less later mistakes when I was getting excited late and around, I could’ve easily been a 77 or even 76 I was plus one after the first nine and had two birdies. I never listen to anything that made such a difference in my game. I really believe it had a lot to do with your video that had me thinking differently.
thanks jimmy, as a result of you instruction my game has improved. before i was shooting anything from 95 to over 100 per round . now i am shooting below 90 and my handy cap has reduced.
Just found your channel this morning Jimmy. Drove 600 miles for a 3-day golfing weekend this past weekend. And boy was I inconsistent with my ball striking. I need a repeatable swing! I’m only 6 minutes in and I get what you are saying. Love your attitude and your whole channel. Subscribed, liked and commented! lol. Ok on with the show!
Jimmy, I just discovered your channel a week ago and played my first round since. I shaved 5 strokes off from my last round and had a blast. Nice easy swing. My swing felt effortless tonight and guess what. I was hitting the ball farther than I usually do! Thanks for making this content. This is perfect and helped me more than any other instruction I’ve seen yet!!
Today, instead of a huge backswing, I played shoulder to shoulder-shocker, the ball goes just as far and I hit over 75 percent of the greens. Thanx so much.; hitting the green is such a boost.
Jimmy, I really appreciate your videos. Just the reminder that it’s all just not that important. It’s a game and the sun will come up tomorrow if I bogey this hole is a great reminder for me. Here’s where I’d like to hear your advice: You hit your clubs WAY longer than many and you’re talking about barely swinging. If you’re hitting your PW 145 you’re 2-3 clubs longer than me. I’ve tried your simple swing several times and I still only hit my PW about 110-115. How are you hitting your clubs so far with such a slow swing? Someone else made this same comment but you didn’t answer. I’d really like to hear your response to this because hitting my 7-iron from 150 is not as easy as hitting a PW.
Jimmy's method is awesome on this channel and makes the game as simple as can be, but some of us need to understand the swing physics and geometry a little better before we can get to Jimmy's point, which is the ideal--the end goal. Go to "Overhand Golf" here on the Tube. A good place to start is "The Holy Grail of the Golf Swing". I guarantee you will finally understand what is actually happening in a good, effortless power golf swing...but remember the end goal--to play well--is like Jimmy says, "To eliminate all these swing thoughts"
It makes the game so much more enjoyable when you can take all the thinking, the stress out of the game. With your method, Jimmy, I hit it way, way, way better, and I score way better. The result is the game is fun again.
Jimmy your swing advice is great and has helped people like me hit the ball better. But only so many videos on the subject can be made. Besides our swings, I believe it would be more beneficial to talk about things like distance control, hazard play, course management. The problem I have is my swing is good most of the time but my aim and my distance is inconsistent. Thanks Jimmy for helping us free of charge improve our game…
Hey Jimmy love your advice, you make golfing so simple, I’m getting much better but I’m having trouble with a 68°, couldn’t find a 69° wedge. I would like to see a little series on wedge play especially with a 69°. I still get the killer instinct at address but have been able to slow my swing down mostly. Thanks for all your advice, you’re the best I’ve heard from all so called golf experts!
Low and slow forever! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. Make sure to check out the new Jimmy Tropicana golf ball at www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Your videos are so helpful Jimmy! My backswing doesn’t go back very far, at my waist actually so I feel like I should swing harder due to a short backswing. I wind up topping or slicing. Will work on this tomorrow. Keep the videos coming! They are really appreciated!
I'm so glad to have found your videos. I am so sick and tired of swinging too hard. I am guilty. I drive the ball pretty ok but then I try to put the 2nd shot on the green. SOOOOOOOO EFFEN DUMB! I am going to refocus and stick with your plan. Thank you.
Jimmy, another great video!!! I will try the putting motion and circle back. Have a great weekend!! Also where do I submit my application for the cameraman position 😂😂😂
Love your videos and especially that you go play holes. One thing though is if I play my irons back in my stance I seem to get too steep and blade balls.
I think your terminology is incorrect. blading the ball happens from thinning the ball. play it back in your stance and try to hit the ball with the back of your left hand. you'll never thin one again. thanks for watching. -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Super helpful. The “wave to the camera”, thumbs pointing up was very helpful to me. At the same time I struggle to consistently get my feet into a position where I made solid contact each time. Any advice ?
Practice walking into the golf ball the same way every time. Practice at home. Itll carry over to the course. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. Make sure to check out the new Jimmy Tropicana golf ball at www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Great video again. UNFORTUNATELY it completely screwed up my round today. Not so much due to being relaxed....it was the two brunettes in the hot tub.😂😂 Shame it was on the 1st green not the 18th😂
New subscriber only playing about a month this is the video I needed thank you so much mr tropicano you da man the pressure with the pga amateurs has been tough lol
One last piece of the puzzle that is pretty important is ball position. You can swing nice and smooth but if you move the ball around it will throw your shot off.
Thanks. Appreciate your content esp course mgmt during play. Your swing thought process at playing is similar to “Easy Swing” by Brian Sparks. I’ve always desired the simplicity approach, less tension etc. I recommend you read his book. But you’re already there I believe.
I love your content, Jimmy. I have a question related to weight transfer during the swing. Why does turning through the swing work and sliding create poor shots? Both movements shift body weight forward.
Hi Jim, I really like your videos and your style. What you just said in this video is my main problem. I try to change my swing I try to hit the ball on the downswing differently than the speed of my back swings. I try to kill the ball and it does not work. Great work Jim!
Jimbo .. awesome work ! You're disrupting the instructor biz .. thank you ! Careful Hank Haney doesn't run you over with a golf cart as you're messing with the cash cow. Harmon is what 10k for 4 hrs? Maybe you need Manolo watching your back :) Just kidding. RU low 70s now? Swing and chips look like it.
Man, I really like your approach to this game. Recently found your channel and have enjoyed your content. Haven’t played in a while but looking forward to getting out soon. Going to use your techniques and apply to my game. Subscribing to your channel as well.
Really hard to keep tension out of the hands and arms, especially when trying to hit the ball hard! One thing that I have found that really helps is simply to inhale on the backswing, and to EXHALE on the downswing. It helps my rhythm and I find it difficult to keep tension in my hands, arms, and upper body while exhaling. It takes some practice and discipline to do it on every shot, but it has really improved my ball-striking. Might help your viewers too!
I found your channel a few months ago and I have to say, I love the content!!!! Great stuff. It’s really good when you show your swing in action on course. I have pushed a bunch of people over to your channel. 😀. If I could ask one thing, I would love to see how you practice on the range. What is your routine? How do you train on the concepts you present here? Thanks for revitalizing my game 😊
Just was at the range. I was hitting it good and then bad and then worse. I am like your swing is all over the place! I take a pause and say just do what Jimmy said and swing back say Hi and swing through! Finished the last 15 or so balls hitting pretty golf shots......smh! It just works!
My game has tightened up since applying your technique...my only question, and i hope you answer it. What's the ball placement for long irons... from 7 down I'm good but the longer irons i must say i struggle with. Can you show in one of your videos where you have them pre shot. Thanks Jimmy
That's my biggest problem! I'm a tinkerer. With my swing and with my gear. I can't help it. The clubs in my bag change on a monthly basis. My swing changes on a round-by-round basis

Thanks. Love the simplicity & sensibility of your work!
Right on! Thanks for watching.
loving this relaxed approach to the game makes sense definitely going to try
like how you tell us to get the head out of the swing. I play the best rounds when not thinking of how to swing but thinking swing to the target ..
Thank you for the tip from Madrid (Spain)
Love your videos and especially that you go play holes. One thing though is if I play my irons back in my stance I seem to get too steep and blade balls.
I think your terminology is incorrect. blading the ball happens from thinning the ball. play it back in your stance and try to hit the ball with the back of your left hand. you'll never thin one again. thanks for watching. -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Super helpful. The “wave to the camera”, thumbs pointing up was very helpful to me. At the same time I struggle to consistently get my feet into a position where I made solid contact each time. Any advice ?
Practice walking into the golf ball the same way every time. Practice at home. Itll carry over to the course. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. Make sure to check out the new Jimmy Tropicana golf ball at www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Thank you Jimmy for the reminder 🙂❤
Thank you for watching.
Great advice and so true. It's all about striking the ball well - smoothness encourages that.
Great video again. UNFORTUNATELY it completely screwed up my round today. Not so much due to being relaxed....it was the two brunettes in the hot tub.😂😂 Shame it was on the 1st green not the 18th😂
Make them blondes next time :)
Every time I see this guy I think of Magic City LOL. Great Vid :-)
New subscriber only playing about a month this is the video I needed thank you so much mr tropicano you da man the pressure with the pga amateurs has been tough lol
Your videos are such a help. Keep the cong.
@@ronpryor5812 thanks for watching
One last piece of the puzzle that is pretty important is ball position. You can swing nice and smooth but if you move the ball around it will throw your shot off.
It really works im 8 bogey to 2 bogey just struggling with putting
Thanks. Appreciate your content esp course mgmt during play. Your swing thought process at playing is similar to “Easy Swing” by Brian Sparks. I’ve always desired the simplicity approach, less tension etc. I recommend you read his book. But you’re already there I believe.
ill have to check him out! Thanks for watching. - jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
New to the channel… I’m loving the way you explain all your shots … simple and easy to take on board . Love it ⛳️
Great video Jimmy. Thanks. Say where do you buy your retro shirts from, I love them.
Thanks. I get them at nationgolfco.com
Will squeeze the grip, then relax the grip. Will swing when feel the tension leaves. It’s my cue.
Whatever you have to feel, works
Mr Chill. Love it.
Thanks for watching.
I love your content, Jimmy. I have a question related to weight transfer during the swing. Why does turning through the swing work and sliding create poor shots? Both movements shift body weight forward.
Anything done consciously will cause errors
Jimmy, another fantastic video, thanks for sharing, your the best.
Thanks!
Hi Jim, I really like your videos and your style. What you just said in this video is my main problem. I try to change my swing I try to hit the ball on the downswing differently than the speed of my back swings. I try to kill the ball and it does not work. Great work Jim!
Love your content. Big fan from India
Enjoy that video because you always play a few holes. Had 36 points yesterday. Chipping has improved swinging the V 😊
Great videos really enjoy your tips hopefully my next round will be better than last round which was horrible
Smooth it out and keep going.
Jimbo .. awesome work ! You're disrupting the instructor biz .. thank you ! Careful Hank Haney doesn't run you over with a golf cart as you're messing with the cash cow. Harmon is what 10k for 4 hrs? Maybe you need Manolo watching your back :) Just kidding. RU low 70s now? Swing and chips look like it.
Hahaha. Theres plenty of
Space for everyone. Thanks for watching
Funny comment about Haney😂
Good vid Jimmy, I just wish I could think of these tips when I go to the course. They just seem to fade away.
Didn't watch it yet, but much love from AZ!!!
Man, I really like your approach to this game. Recently found your channel and have enjoyed your content. Haven’t played in a while but looking forward to getting out soon. Going to use your techniques and apply to my game. Subscribing to your channel as well.
Happy to hear this. Hope it works for you. thanks for watching! www.tropicanagolfshop.com -jimmy
Really hard to keep tension out of the hands and arms, especially when trying to hit the ball hard! One thing that I have found that really helps is simply to inhale on the backswing, and to EXHALE on the downswing. It helps my rhythm and I find it difficult to keep tension in my hands, arms, and upper body while exhaling. It takes some practice and discipline to do it on every shot, but it has really improved my ball-striking. Might help your viewers too!
I found your channel a few months ago and I have to say, I love the content!!!! Great stuff. It’s really good when you show your swing in action on course. I have pushed a bunch of people over to your channel. 😀. If I could ask one thing, I would love to see how you practice on the range. What is your routine? How do you train on the concepts you present here? Thanks for revitalizing my game 😊
Truthfully I dont practice on the range. If I did I would practice shots from 80-140 yards out.
another gem.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad it helps.
Aye yo yo aye Jimmy love your videos thanks to made great improvements to my game!!!
First time I tried this with driver I nuked it. First thing my partner said was "so smooth." Thank you, Jimmy.
thats what im talking about! thanks for watching. - jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Id like to see a few holes played on long par 4s
will do. thanks for watching
Keep the videos coming. Maybe some 50-75 yard chip shot instruction. Thanks again
Great vids (68, Scotland)
I used your chipping technique and it worked well. Thank you! On a full swing can you start your takeaway the same by swinging the V?
Just was at the range. I was hitting it good and then bad and then worse. I am like your swing is all over the place! I take a pause and say just do what Jimmy said and swing back say Hi and swing through! Finished the last 15 or so balls hitting pretty golf shots......smh! It just works!
My game has tightened up since applying your technique...my only question, and i hope you answer it. What's the ball placement for long irons... from 7 down I'm good but the longer irons i must say i struggle with. Can you show in one of your videos where you have them pre shot. Thanks Jimmy
I play everything at the back of my stance EXCEPT my driver. hope this helps. thanks for watching
Hi Jimmy should I take a practice swing before each shot?
I play poorly, not playing the easy swing like you are. i'll give it a try. Thank you
I seem to as the game goes I pull my head...that's where I'm at should I just get to the ball and without a practice swing hit the ball?
Slow yourself down. You’re doing too much. Swing smooth. Thanks for watching. -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
you got me hooked.
Love to hear it. Thanks for watching
That's my biggest problem! I'm a tinkerer. With my swing and with my gear. I can't help it. The clubs in my bag change on a monthly basis. My swing changes on a round-by-round basis
can't do it. leave it alone. trust it. thanks for watching. www.tropicanagolfshop.com - jimmy
I like the repeatable idea. Just that I can’t seem to repeat it. Am I over-swinging?
Hi Jimmy Does your chest get a little closer to the ball in the down swing I know it’s subtle and I can’t tell if you’re doing it
I dont think about it but it def should get closer. Thanks for asking and watching.
may i know how hard u hold ur lead hand say from 1 to 10. tq
How firm do you keep your wrist during a swing?
Hi Jimmy, what's the length of that driver shaft? Many thanks
