Jerome, your content editing is perfect! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re capturing the most important info (pearls of wisdom), some of the best teaching content on RUclips to be sure!
This is an amazing episode. I had the exact same struggle with understanding how the club gets to the ball in the downswing and how exactly the release and turn work together. Thanks for sharing this Jerome!
"the unsetting which you're not consciously doing" .. I think for ppl like you (me, and so many others) that's tough, and what I'm struggling with. I want the learn how to do that part well. But trusting that the learning process, and correctly applying the other swing pieces first, will fix THAT PART, is tricky to accept as the answer. But that's what it takes. Your approach to learning the swing is so relatable. Great video series!
Loving this series of lessons & the fact you ask so many questions. Some great stuff coming out here & I appreciate the efforts you & the coach are going to.
I have been taught less thinking more doing. The brain complicates things. We all want to get to a pro swing in one lesson, it is a jigsaw puzzle that requires pieces to be correct and in order before the jigsaw is completed. Brilliant video and brilliant coaching
Jerome love this video. I started around the same time you did with golfing and come from a basketball background. This video showed so much with the different aspects of the swing. You asked great questions that were extremely similar to my issues. Keep up the great work man.
Just wanted to say thank you! Having access to knowledge like this is difficult and expensive to come by. So being able to take bits and pieces from all of these different coaches has been amazing. Big fan of the channel and what you’re doing. It has helped my game tremendously, so just wanted to say thank you. All love from Houston 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing this lesson. I was having the same issue with getting the clubhead back through the ball squarely. I found that if i kept my lead arm extended, not chicken winged, and kept rotating my hips I could make it happen. My swing would finish off to the left side, and the ball flight would be a nice draw. It takes practice to get the feels right, but you are on the right track.
After watching your videos (especially the last few) I had questions answered in a manner I feel like I can put into use with understanding. Keep up the quest for scratch
For that release look up the swing caddy. Its a training tool used by the guys at the easiest swing youtube channel. Its a stick with a magnet at the end. If you get enough gs the manget makes a clicking sound. You can set to click at different speeds so you can start slow and speed up as you go. Your goal is for it to click near the bottom of your swing at impact. Itll let you know when youre doing it right so you can develop a feel for it
You have the same habits as me. Strong grip over the top. Left shots. Its weird as for me I totally have to think my transition to the downswing starts with my hands dropping. If you look at all the gears data it totally shows your hands drop first or as they say you reconnect your right elbow into your side.
Looks like your swing is getting better much better, in fact I've seen people with much worst swings than yours shoot a scratch round. The best advice I've received was sometimes you have to make the ball go into the hole. Figure that out you'll have your sub-par round.
Rick is an amazing swing coach. An observation and what he says about "feel vs real." What is actually happening in the swing vs what the golfer feels can be massively different and I think is the main reason golf instruction is so inconsistent. Luckily we have video to show what is actually happening. I had an instructor tell me once that "the video is lying." Um, no, the instructor could not accept that his instruction was wrong compared to the video. My point is: video your swing every chance you get, especially when you practice. You will improve massively in the shortest amount of time.
Big Picture: you early extend in transition. Basically, you stand up on the downswing. The reason is, you have to because you are so bent over at address. Standing up is how you recenter your balance, but it causes the club to flip and you lose a ton of power. The solution is to stand up more at address, almost uncomfortably more tall at address. That way you will attack the ball necessarily in transition because your center of gravity stays over the balls of your feet instead of moving out towards the toes, causing you to stand up. Swinging the mass of the arms makes you squat so your glutes counterbalance that mass. This is only possible with an upright address posture. Stand tall. Compare your address down the line to Colin's.
I kind of feel like you are actually asking very specific questions which are perfect, ie how do I get from here to there, do I hold the club and turn through or do I turn the wrists over whilst turning, amongst many other specific questions, and I find you always seem to get unspecific answers, or someone will say you don’t hold it, then in the next drill your being told to get the club down to parallel and just turn and trust the club to hit the ball, is that not just holding, contrary to what you were told not to do. I do feel that tbh all these guys know exactly how to hit a ball like a pro, they all know what doesn’t matter and what does, when you ask things where you can be above or below or hold or not hold, where it doesn’t matter ie it can be either or, then they should just say that it can be this or that and what your doing is right, however when it comes to certain things which all pros do, ie certain positions moves, I’m pretty sure the coaches can give you an exact answer when you ask, however they all seem to dance around rather than passing you the elusive elixir of the exact way that should be do done and then they could move back to highlighting getting your base right or one step at a time etc etc etc, imo you’ve listened plenty, your swing is good, your lower half isn’t so bad that you can’t be told something else specifically when you ask, ie it moves exactly like this, I get they want you to approach things via learning in sequence to give you the best big end picture, but would it hurt if you ask advanced questions to give you that info, when your already hitting the ball pretty damn well, I think not, if you were moving all over and swinging all over hitting wild slices and hooks like you were months and months ago, then fair enough, but your not, your imo in a pretty good position right now, I think if you were told here are the 12 things your not doing right and you need to do these 12 things like this, but we’re going to only work on getting number 1 perfect before number 2 and 3, I truly believe you’d meet the requirement of doing things progressively the way they want, and I believe you’d be done and dusted way quicker, obs not exactly scratch as I think putting and chipping feel has a lot to do with getting scores down, but you’d be hitting way better way quicker.. some people say they don’t understand why your jumping from coach to coach, I get it, your giving them the chance to prove to the world of viewers that they are the best coach, and this is achieved by them getting you to be a better golfer, as soon as you feel your stagnating then that’s it, they had their chance, their now costing you money that potentially didn’t need to be spent, sure you’ll hone something, but there’s definitely times where some guys have been getting you to stick to things that your already doing well and not giving you the next step, and there’s some where you’ve asked for the next step but you haven’t been ready, imo changing coaches has been beneficial to your fast learning, and let’s also not forget it’s good for views. Keep doing what your doing, the way your doing. 🤟
He's right on teaching the release. It's like trying to teach someone to hammer a nail. For some people, it's a natural skill. But think about how you would teach someone who couldn't naturally do it. Tour pros didn't have to be taught how to release the clubhead into the ball.
How to get back to the ball. At last parallel, get back down to the ball by rotating your forearms. Right arm keeps some bend, body and shoulders keep turning turn, forearms rotate. This gets you almost all the way to the ball. This rotation in combination with body turn also helps keep your arms in front of you.
I believe what’s missing here is if the wrists are more supple then the hip transition and sway creates shoulder tilt which creates an initial shallower shaft at transition which presents the shaft under the plane coming down.
I’ve always loved the content, Jerome. But, I feel like the editing through these lessons with Coach Sessinghaus has left out a lot of the nuance of your swing training thus far. It would be really cool and informative for someone like me to see unedited session/s with him to really understand the different concepts he drills you on. As a viewer, your videos feel like he’s talking about concepts that you both are very familiar with but I have to fill in the gaps due to the lack of broadcasted footage from the editing process in your videos. It would be nice to see some longer format/possibly unedited footage from your sessions with these great coaches because it would provide a lot of clarity, not only for my own game, but for what I am watching in your videos. Nonetheless, I hope to see you become a scratch golfer one day.
Think about your dragging your left knuckles on the ground (suppinated left wrist, opposite of cupping) as your hands move past the point of impact. Trust your club face will be closing at impact.
At this point I just want to see a bunch of course vlogs and see the progress there, there's much more to learn on course than with your swing, it'll never be perfect as long as your swing is gameable you should be fine.
Pay close attention to the swings of Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, Rory etc & closely watch their right elbow. That is the true secret to golf. Thank me later.
Haha rick (this coach) tells me to experiment different “feels” that’s all relevant to his teachings. He promotes that so students can self learn. He mentioned that he actually never taught collin morikawa the patented bowed wrist. Collin just ended up doing that by himself (via experimenting)! :)
Jerome, your content editing is perfect! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re capturing the most important info (pearls of wisdom), some of the best teaching content on RUclips to be sure!
Some of the best content on YT! Don't sleep on this stuff!
Thanks for recording the session. Listening to all your coaches gets me out there to practice. Thanks
This is an amazing episode. I had the exact same struggle with understanding how the club gets to the ball in the downswing and how exactly the release and turn work together. Thanks for sharing this Jerome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When he says "turn" to hit the ball, he means turn with the chest and upper body right?
I think i found it what are you looking for....ask me

Jerome i am happy to have you i am learning with you and it is a good help for those they cannot afford golf lesson God bless you
Man this coach seems perfect for you. Can’t wait for you to reach your goal!

Fantastic stuff, this coach has had a significant positive impact on my game. He will get you to scratch.

18:52 ahhhh, there it is. that's the ole jerome we know. obsessing over the stuff his first coach drilled into his head
Great stuff Jerome. You'll get there

Great fundamental question…what is that ONE swing thought that can make this click?

Oh I thought I summed it up clearly in as few words as possible 😊 appreciate it’s a public forum, but the text was intended for Jerome, he’ll get it 😊
Thanks for the in depth comment. Always appreciate people who are in the weeds on the channel and golf in general :)
@@neilmcquillan843 Wow! That was long.
need that lesson about the release!

Been playing for forty years and still I have the same questions as this young man.
Dear fellow journeyman I have recently made some giant progress in this area. I would be happy to give you what I have discovered.
I believe what’s missing here is if the wrists are more supple then the hip transition and sway creates shoulder tilt which creates an initial shallower shaft at transition which presents the shaft under the plane coming down.

The coach might have told him to not put the entire lesson on the internet.
Yeah he don’t wanna put too much information on Jerome. Learning golf is patient
That coach is absolutely jacked! Haha
Someone once told me before "over analysis equals paralysis" lol dont over think about it too much.. 😅
Ha. Theres always a 'missing peice' to our golf swing 😬
Think about your dragging your left knuckles on the ground (suppinated left wrist, opposite of cupping) as your hands move past the point of impact. Trust your club face will be closing at impact.
GOLD
Thanks!!
trail hand drill for a lefthanded golfer but right handed in life is really hard
At this point I just want to see a bunch of course vlogs and see the progress there, there's much more to learn on course than with your swing, it'll never be perfect as long as your swing is gameable you should be fine.
The season is ending where I'm from... 28 degrees out today so I am sad I can't practice golf except my indoor net 😭
Time to start practice indoor putting 😬
That's the perfect time to film yourself and clean things up, without the pressure to strike the ball well on the course ;)
Time to find a new coach.
A coach's headache
This instructor is all over the place .....
Hard to watch when the picture is cut off from the ball and constantly changing views
What is a 5 I ren?
I don't understand the decision to be flip flopping between swing coaches. It can't be good.
This coach needed a strong drink after this lesson. Jerome over thinks too much.
Brotha you need Marcus from GRF to give you a lesson not sure if you checked out any of the GRF videos but they are legit
ruclips.net/video/ZFdxMO5xZQw/видео.htmlsi=3XDI3Do_ZKudA9wh
I dont trust that the club would hit the ball from that position either 😂
Pay close attention to the swings of Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, Rory etc & closely watch their right elbow. That is the true secret to golf. Thank me later.
Has world class coaches spends X amount on lessons. Still experiments on his own.
Haha rick (this coach) tells me to experiment different “feels” that’s all relevant to his teachings. He promotes that so students can self learn. He mentioned that he actually never taught collin morikawa the patented bowed wrist. Collin just ended up doing that by himself (via experimenting)! :)
Too much mind intereference imo
