What an eye opening experience to see a quick change in your backswing already. Can't wait for more updates!
Absolutely unreal. Jessica is very good at her job, and I can't wait to see the changes each week.
Wonderful instruction. The hardest part of getting lessons is finding someone who “really” knows what he or she is talking about and not just trying to fit you into static positions or trying to get you to swing like the tour player of the day, or putting you into positions that aren’t normal for you or screwing up your timing and sequence. It’s the same problem with getting properly fitting, finding someone who is “really” interested in helping you and not just wanting to make a high value sale by up charging for exotic shafts and “puring.” Looking forward to your journey with Goltec and this instructor. Cheers.
Jessica is accomplished and she listens and she knows her stuff. Very grateful and really excited about my golf future.
Basically, you got the cream of the crop in instructors. And that's the issue; if you want to sign up for lessons how do you know who's good and who's not?
@@normankleinberg5525 Exactly, there are so many out there that are crap. I wish I knew how to find a good one and nobody seems to know how to choose one correctly. You can’t go by Golf Digest’s top instructors because that is not good way to choose, unless you don’t mind wasting your money and time. Cheers
Hey good luck working with the Golftec lady. Will Zalatoris' surgeon is in Dallas. Cheers pal...
im a GOLFTEC fan ! Seeing it and knowing the numbers so important ...
Epic stuff!
WOW...just WOW!!! Cant wait for the next episodes. So happy you are going through this... wish I could.
I don't know how many episodes I'll have, but I can't wait to see the progress each week.
OH MY GOODNESS.... I just checked my hip turn with an alignment stick in my belt loops, and I couldn't believe it. I was turned at least as much as you, if not more. No wonder the top of my bsckswing looked the same as yours. Way across the line, and I've been fighting like crazy to fix it. This is the answer. FINALLY! Thank you!
Wow, that was an eye opener for me! Thanks as always for your videos. 👍
So happy to help others when I can!
Fun to watch the instruction and the promise of improvement.
Should be a great series with lots of learning.
Love watching you go on these new adventures!
Good luck and where your helmet!
Always, haha!
Wow man great discovery working with GolfTec! Looks like you really nailed it on your first lesson!! Looking forward to updates
Second week is a good one too. Trying to put in the work.
Loved this! I had the same problem. I always tell myself to keep my belt buckle looking at the ball! And or my right leg bent .
Can’t wait for your next video!!
That's a great thought. It's so hard to get it to ACTUALLY do that during the swing, haha. Years of crap to wash away.
what an eye opener. I have same problem I could never cure, never realised it was too much hip turn. Thanks so much and looking forward to more installments on your golftec journey.
I'm starting to understand a lot more cause and effect, but how to fix it has been the real gem.
Most excellent!
Thanks, RC!
Love it Chad!!!! Let’s see some shots with the new swing😅!!! I think this little tip will benefit me also!
It's going to be a bit of a journey over the next several weeks. Stay tuned!
just started my switch to S&T so this was very interesting I am on a golf holiday right now and its a mixed bag so far I am driving the ball really well but still pulling irons which was always my miss :(
Really interesting video.
It's crazy how far off the rails I've gone the last several years. The wages of all these experiments.
Love your videos! Found them when I was looking at Marcus Edblad (whom I continue to follow). Your comments are very helpful. Thanks
Many thanks!
great vid
Thanks, Bill!
Cheers! from Golftec North Raleigh 😊
Hey Charles! Thanks for the support my man. Hope I'm doing you guys justice.
Try Stack and Tilt and your limited motion of your wrist won't effect your distance or control. It appears Lead instructor Nick Clearwater teaches the same principles and he is a great instructor..
Love this Chad! Keep at it! Will this new backswing position actually improve your swing or just make it look better? Can’t wait to find out!
You and me both my man.
Robert Johansson (You Tube) speaks of a tilt rather than a turn like you were doing before the lesson. I doesn't seem to matter how you think of it as long as one gets into the best position to deliver the club through the ball. It was amazing to see how tech and data can find out what is really happening not what we think is happening. I can't wait to see what's next.
I think there will be several weeks of this at least. I'm not sure what's next...
I never really hear people say this, but it seems like its about limiting degrees of freedom in movement. So adding in the hips, and twisting the shoulders, too many variables are added. If you keep them straight or turning as one, and using the back leg straightening as a limit for turning, then you've reduced a lot of variables.
I think you will really enjoy your lessons, and Jessica seems spot on as a coach. I enjoyed my lessons at GolfTec, was referred by a number of work and traditional friends that enjoyed their experience. As an IT nerd, loved seeing the data and the instant feedback was very reassuring. I feel I needed a different instructor though. Maybe I felt some kinda way that he compared me to Hunter Mahan, who is no longer on the Tour.. 😂
Haha, yeah, but Hunter was a real stick, so it works. I've never been a traditional golfer, so it's pretty cool to try it on and see how it fits.
You are full of surprises! I'm glad that this revelation has finally clicked and it's interesting to find out about the wrist mobility issue; beyond what I already knew. I guess that it wasn't coming across very readily but I have been telling you these things for a long time now. I was saying such things as keep the club in front of your turn more, slow down the transfer of weight to your trail heel and the turn of your hips and have the club working up more relative to your turn, keep the clubhead moving wider and higher longer in the early swing, etc., etc..
Communication is an interesting thing and for one thing, this shows the power of a visual demonstration over meerly a verbal or written one. I could see that this was what was happening but just couldn't come up with verbiage that got the point across.
In the end, your takeaway was just following your body motion (which is also something that I have said) and there is an instinctual urge to keep those in synch with one another so in your case, fixing the body was the most helpful and changed the path of your clubhead.
The thing was that no matter how much you changed the clubhead path in the first few feet of the swing, you would then cause it to "catch up" to you old pattern by resuming your extreme body motion very quickly. If everything in the early middle swing had been much more moderate in nature, you might have discovered a workable clubhead path but I think that as we all do, you were seeking power (sometimes to our swing's detriment) and turning (albeit unhelpfully) to achieve that. However, in the golf swing, technique easily trumps physical effort when that technique is too far off the mark.
In any case, I'm glad that has got you going in the right direction and this series will be interesting to watch and very instructive for a lot of golfers, I'm sure. Cheers.
Yeah, it's pretty eye opening when you can have a pro break down video, put measurements to it, and then help you physically and visually. Words are interpretive, and seeing something is way different than saying it. It's also a COMPLETELY different thing to KNOW what to do, but not be able to do it.
@@GolfTestDummy Other interesting observations are 1) that you lead upper arm got off of your chest much more and 2) that you had what I would call a "false hip turn" in the sense that it was too flat for the depth of trail hip move that you were making. The trail hip cannot merely be pushed back, it has to turn in synch with the motion that the whole body is making. If you look at Champ for example, his trail leg straightens and his hip turn is about as big as you can get and still keep your hips on plane, but at the top his trail hip is less deep than yours was and overall there is much more of a balance of tilting (inclined hip turn) AND turning in the hips which keeps the shoulders on plane. Your hip motion was actually flattening your shoulder plane and putting the trail side of your body too far back in your swing to be able to come down on plane. Cheers.
i do kind of a modified stack and tilt. i use a strongish firm grip and on my practice mat at home i have target line marked on it and another line marked about 15 degrees inside that and try to swing back and thru along that line. i keep my feet kinda flat on the ground and swing back and that does turn my shoulders without purposely trying to turn them and i can put a good wack on the ball with a consistent draw pattern and decent distance and it's repeatable for me. i'm 73 yrs old and a 12 hdcp. when i try to get more body into it is when it goes off the tracks. my 7iron is 140 and drive 220+.
I'd say that's pretty damn good, Steve!
This blows my mind🤯 I have the same issue with my right wrist as well…not from an injury, but a hereditary bone disease(bone spurs in the joints)😬 I would consider myself fairly able-bodied, somewhat athletic, and terribly competitive. I’ve always assumed that my wrist cock(or lack there of) would forever impede my ball-striking progression. Anyway, I’m new to your channel(already subscribed btw) and looking forward to future episodes. Thank you sir👍
Thanks for the support, and even though I don't wish anything bad on anyone, it's nice to meet a fellow sufferer, LOL. It's tough, and the pain is never not there.
Great video. And yes I am dealing with same issue. Too steep ..over the top.. then pulls. Or pull cut. Somehow got steep over last year or so. Worked on it today after watching your experience at golf tec. Boy does it feel way outside but video shows its not... . Believe i improved it . Did u notice a little distance loss so far? My Garmin has acted up though last 2 days and distance is off .. especially with driver. Had been working great. Good luck on your journey.
It's hard for me to tell if a distance loss is due to the Garmin or huge swing changes, haha.
Trail elbow at the top is fantastic.
Hoping the rest falls in line.
Was that all just from the initial evaluation? Im thinking of doing the evaluation but probably cant afford follow up lessons.
Jesus, I'm a washed up former Div. 1 golfer and I would love to take some lessons from this woman. Straight up, no nonsense approach to coaching the golf swing.
Washed up doesn't have to be washed out Mike. Come on in and get it back on track my man.
@GolfTestDummy I've actually taken some lessons at the GolfTec in downtown Seattle and had a great experience. I still have my practice membership and use up my 3 practice sessions every week. The camera set up with the ability to play it back and forward in slow motion has been invaluable.
I’ve had three lessons at my GolfTec so far. Looks like we’re both learning a similar swing. I’m starting from much worse position then you are. My golf coach told me I would need about 20 lessons to rebuild my old Nick Faldo swing as he called it. But I’m also learning a ground up swing, he calls it 80 % Legs and 20% arms were before I was the opposite. I says I’ve made it to about 50% and 50% so I made a some progress. Good luck, and very cool.
That's great to hear, and I imagine that they are trying to get every student into similar ranges of positions, based on all the data they've collected over the years.
I think towel/glove under trail arm would be great, stop the lifting of trail arm, and stop you from retracting it so much.
Having another set of eyes with knowledge looking at you is always a good thing
To have a monitor with a program to show your good and bad stuff is always good
Your in a honey whole right now with all that …and good for
you
Learn learn learn 👍👍👍
Doing my best my man!
A couple of the good good guys got a similar take away lesson from David Leadbetter, great stuff, can’t wait to see it all come together for you
I can't wait either. I just hope I'm up to the challenge.
@@GolfTestDummy interesting how changing something will produce some ugly shots at first because your body is used to delivering the club face differently, but your body will adjust to doing it more efficiently and better
Chad, nice to see good coaching..... how would you compare this to JVA technique and instruction ? I realize this is a difficult question,,,,,,APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT,Ron
It's a lot different. The stillness with the lower body on the way back is similar, but after that, it's all different.
Just started following the channel and I think I’ve been through all of these swing methods in the two years I’ve been trying to learn this frustrating game. I was just looking up Shawn Clement when I stumbled across your channel. This seems completely like the opposite notion with regards to the hips. Wonder how you’re finding the difference between the two. Maybe the answer’s in some of your other videos. I know you’re not switching methods because they aren’t effective but because the point of your channel is to display all of them. Would be curious to see what’s actually work best for you?
I get that question often, and I honestly can't answer it accurately. I've been able to find success at some level with all of them, but really, you won't know how great something can be until you've given it many months or even years.
Go Gators. From JAX here.
I have watched you since you started your journey. Your on screen confidence has increased tremendously. Really appreciate all you do.
Always appreciate the support, and stay cool down in Bama this time of year. Been oppressive heat so far this Summer.
The GOLFTEC Swing Analysis is something I highly recommend to any golfer!
The people there have been great and it's been a real peek under the hood.
Took lessons from them. Traded my slice for hook.
How many lessons were in the package you purchased?
@@GolfTestDummy 15 Probably good for those who like a lot of numbers, but once I got a number to go green some other would go red. Also, appears each teacher uses their on philosophy to get you to green zone. I see some are Stack and Tilt, and others are traditional, so that is interesting. But I find it annoying to always bring up a 20 year old pro for the model, when they can plainly see I am over twice that age
After seeing your Stack and Tilt series, I wanted to give that a try. But don’t see many certified teachers available in my area.
Yeah, to find someone close teaching it might be tough, since they're not the mainstream.
You came to North raleigh and didnt announce it beforehand. You were right here
Haha, I sent out a mass memo, didn't I?
@@GolfTestDummy we could have been chopping up the fairway at Lonnie Poole. Im literally right there.
I've played LP twice. It's a nice course, don't get me wrong, but I just can't for the life of me figure out how 80, 90, and 100 bucks for a round of golf is sane. I'm a 30 dollar guy, haha.
@@GolfTestDummy lol. Was trying to break out the top shelf stuff for you. But you are right. Consensus in the area is it's severely overpriced. There's always RGA. It's the McDonald's version of golf here.
No hip turn? Ouch!
This is beyond exciting Sir and great video as well.
I'm really looking forward to more from my favorite Golf Tube- Personal Instruction Journey with guys named Brad(Edit: "Chad" 😄) - Channel.😁
I've always wanted to take lessons myself but have never made the effort. It's on my "lottery list" for sure and near the top as well.
Haha, well, Brad is one of my contacts at Golftec, so there's one. Half my name looks like Brad, the "ad" at the end, so I'm 50 percent of the way there.
@@GolfTestDummy
My phone's swype got me again. 😄
I have a friend named Brad so in my haste it plugged that in and I didn't catch it.
Still my favorite channel none the less...😁
Haha, damn autocorrect.
Question, was your hip turn focus due to stack and tilt? Do you think you took the whole bottle of medicine on that?
I definitely opened my hips going back on purpose with SNT, or at least MY version of it, but I think I've been overturning for years.
Monte No turn cast drill?
Well, the no turn part matches up, haha.
So, the instructor didn’t have a problem with the inside takeaway yet the fix got rid of it?
I think that's sort of correct, but I believe what she was saying was, you aren't doomed from that position guaranteed, so it's not great, but it's not a killer.
Is this the end of your swing experiment channel!? "Ok folks, long story short. Take a live lesson from a golf teacher instead of teaching yourself from RUclips videos!" Lol. Just kidding, I'm curious to see your ball-striking and on-course conclusions.
I dont think so. In my experience, most golfers are in a fairly constant state of flux, with new areas of focus, new swing thoughts, and always after a better way.
@@GolfTestDummy That's the problem, isn't it? Even Tiger is always looking for a better way. Plus you have so many other swings to try! I would love your thoughts on teachers like Paul Wilson, the Easiest Swing channel, more training aids, and only using irons to play golf. Good luck!
+1!
US and Canada - not available on Planet Earth.
Hmmm. US, Canada, Singapore, Dubai, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and probably continuing to grow.
this is not what nick clearwater is teaching in his golftec video. he wants you turning the hips as much as possible in the backswing. i'm gonna do what you're doing. thnx for the update.
Hmmm. You know, I'm not sure, because I'd need to do some more research. But, the way I look at it is; The individual needs or deficiencies of a person usually dictate the prescription to correct it. What's good for the goose, ain't always good for the gander.
Lol. Cameron Champ is a twenty six year old professional athlete and this guy is a middle aged guy with no flexibility. Advising him to reduce his hip turn is dubious advice for his age. Guarantee he will still hit over the top. He needs to look up Brian Sparks Easiest Swing and accept his body type instead of trying to turn back the clock. Midlife golfers aspiring to swing like a pro is a symptom of a midlife crisis. Less analysis and more feeling your own bodies movement patterns will help you more than forcing positions.
I'm not sure if this is a comment for me or not. It's written as if you're talking to the guys at Golftec, but this isn't their video. I've done many swing reviews over several years now, and I've watched a lot of Brian's videos, may he RIP, along with many other teachers of unconventional methods. But I try to cover a lot of bases and be fair to all of them, including more conventional teachings. To somebody that doesn't know me, I can understand the midlife crisis comment, but then again, it could be worse. I could let my receeding hairline grow back and try to fix it Rogaine, plop my old ass down in a Red Corvette and hit a few bars talking about what I used to be back when. But instead, I'm still trying to improve myself and reach a goal I set long ago, back before it was the latest fad.
