Hi John. Dropped 1 off my handicap in yesterday’s medal by guiding my hands in an arc on the takeaway as you suggest (8:55). Made a huge difference to my usual upright club at the top of my backswing. I’m going the work on the rest of your guidance and hopefully my handicap will lower further. Thanks a bunch. Btw great content on your channel.
Great video. I have started to swing like your pupil and hit it straight 80-90% straight. When on a flat lie everyone is straight with great rotation. Do you have any videos with up hill down hill lies and ball above and below your feet. This is when my rotation fails. Can you help.
Great follow through as well! Too many of us stop rotating after the strike, which really means we slow down prior to impact. The obsession to "hit the ball" has to be overcome to turn through like he does. I do it great on a practice swing, but put that white pill on the ground and a full follow through requires concentration. However, using the drills taught here have helped me gradually overcome 25 years of the wrong swing. And best of all, using the rotational swing, even imperfectly, I can play 27 holes without lower back pain, or any pain at all. At 70 years young, a lot of people I used to play with have quit playing due to pain. I can recommend, but I can't make them watch...
I see one continuous clockwise turning of his trail shoulder as he exits left post impact from his ball. At age 76 I think I could finally match him as I stopped making all the mistakes from yesteryear. Cheers 👍👍🥂
Great stuff as always!!! I have getting into my position the reverse. I start at just with weight on my lead leg, lead hip turned, side bend and then address the ball.
Amazing how a 75-year old can bank his right foot inward as he hits the balls. I’m 64 years old and I’m afraid I would break my right ankle if I rolled my foot inward like that into the ball! What a great golf swing!
Great rotation, great swing you're right! For waht I can see: One important thing here is to look at his right foot staying on the ground in the downswing and the heel doesn't leave the ground until the impact is done. I beleive he's been training by keeping the toes up until he almost reach impact where he's starting to roll the trail feet and finally lift the heel for the posting. Early extenders (me) we all lift the heel in the downswing way before we hit the ball as we pushing from the right side. Does this make sense?
Great swing for 75 & rotation, my question he has a lot weight on his right heel on backswing ( toes up ) & downswing, would this help you rotate through the hitting area?
Started my journey for a more rotational swing after 15 years all arms. To create depth and maintain square clubface - it feels like I have to use ridiculous amount of forward press through the whole swing.
Excellent video. The "takeaway" -- sorry about the pun -- I got from this, was that, if you get the takeaway correct, then everything else falls into place.
that is a sick backswing and rotation... Very strong face... love how his trail elbow remains in front throughout the swing too. Q: what kind of grip strength does he uses?
The guy has an unbelievable swing, especially for a 75 yr old. What an absolute legend!
A lot to learn here
Very inspiring for this 74 year old! Excellent guidance!
Awesome to hear Gordon!
Regardless of age, that’s one of the best swings I’ve ever seen.
I highly endorse Jonathan's rotational swing lesson on the Skillest application. It's really helped me become more consistent with my irons.

Great video and explanation of the fundamentals of the golf swing, thanks JChown
This guy obviously has kept himself in great shape to be able to swing like that at 75. That's a great swing for anyone, but 75? Outstanding.

Thank you- thank you - this take away just made my game improve from pars to birdies.
Great stuff.

What a swing this gent has
What an amazing looking swing. And 75? That's just mind blowing 🤯
Sure is! It’s all about the variables/pieces 👍🏼

Actually incredible swing
Sure is!
Terrific video and instruction !!
Thanks George!
It is a long process but worth it. Great video JC

I Jc is it the same with all clubs on the takeaway👍
What kind of grips are you using and size?
Pourquoi ce n est pas traduit en francais ds youtube ?,,

He uses a standard grip 👍🏼
His backturn is great at 75, smooth swing in balance. Right arm tucked in good. Reminds me a bit of Fred C. swing, maybe Freddy in 15 yrs.
This is kind of a random question but what pants are those?
Hope for us all lol 😆
There certainly is Roy 👍🏼
That is Ben Hogan incognito.
😁👍
Thanks bud!
That is a 20 year old in makeup.
Haha that would be a twist and a half
😂
😂
💀😂
Love it👋😊
Looks like he is keeping weight on his trail heel somewhat.
yah. no early extension for that guy ( opposite of me )
